NDspd · January 27th, 2012, 05:47 PM

Hahaha, I'm in the league

nickjpass · February 11th, 2012, 08:49 PM

I got a pair of the SP-8 gloves for MSF. If for some reason I don't ride...I'll just use them for bicycling.

lol...nice man...pics?

nickjpass · February 11th, 2012, 11:25 PM

Not yet. I ordered them, but I didn't know that "eChecks" take over a week to clear, so I have to wait till then. Next time I'll just put $100 on my Paypal account, which will take a few days to transfer as well.

I hate shopping online.

NDspd · February 12th, 2012, 03:07 PM

I have a credit card...I hate Paypal, so many bad experiences.

nickjpass · February 12th, 2012, 07:43 PM

Why? Should I not use it?

massacremasses · February 13th, 2012, 09:00 AM

I use paypal ALL THE TIME.

so far so good.

NDspd · February 13th, 2012, 09:34 AM

It seems fine for everyone else, but I've run into a couple stupid issues. Can't say what they are.

LoD575 · February 13th, 2012, 09:41 AM

I've had some minor issues with paypal but no problems in 4 years.

Same here. I actually prefer using it over a CC.

csmith12 · February 13th, 2012, 01:57 PM

I can't say it's a problem but others may feel different. In a dispute, paypal will put the funds in escrow until the matter is resolved. It took 45 days was my last dispute and it sucked to go without the $$ or the item.

I still use them every day.

nickjpass · February 13th, 2012, 08:18 PM

I'll stick with them. Hopefully my payment will go through, and I'll make sure I have money to spend next time.

NDspd · February 13th, 2012, 10:20 PM

I've used CC forever, so I'll just stick with what works.

nickjpass · February 13th, 2012, 10:24 PM

I'm not eighteen so I don't have one.

I will put up a review of Iron Pony once the deal closes. So far, they great, and respond to my messages. I love them.

Cool man...when I go back to Ohio in the Summer I'll take pics of the store.

nickjpass · February 14th, 2012, 09:23 PM

Cool. It sounds like a great store!

nickjpass · February 18th, 2012, 09:34 AM

Alright, I got the gloves in under three days lol! I love this company. I'd donate money to them

. Anyway, I'll get pictures later, my double A's died.

Haha cool man....they are a great company. They started out as a teeny tiny repair shop and now it's a 100,000 sqft superstore. They are now saying that store is too small now.

nickjpass · February 18th, 2012, 09:38 AM

Lol. I hope they don't turn into something like motorcycle superstore. I'm thinking about getting the SM-5's, since it's just such a good deal. Even though I don't ride yet, it's too good to pass up.

nickjpass · February 18th, 2012, 06:43 PM

I got pictures.

very cool man, it'll take a little to break them in, but you'll love them.

They're really comfy

For those of you shopping ironpony.com from Canada:

The SMX-5 boots sell for ~$230 in Ontario. I purchased them from IronPony for $150 plus the $20 surcharge for shipments to Canada. They arrived via Canada Post, who charged me ~$60 in duties and import fees. So my total cost ended up being ~$230, which is the same price I could have bought them here for in Ontario.

That being said, if I had bought them here I would have had to pay 13% sales tax on top of the $230, so in the grand scheme of things I saved $30!

Customer service from ironpony was great and shipment was relatively quick! Too bad about the duties, but that's not ironpony's fault and I solely blame the Canadian government!

Overall, I had a good purchase experience and still saved a bit of money!

Shipped UPS or USPS?

csmith12 · February 22nd, 2012, 12:51 PM

Heading to the pony this weekend to try on some new boots! Its a 3 hour drive for me.

nickjpass · February 22nd, 2012, 12:58 PM

Why don't you just buy them online, and exchange if they don't fit

csmith12 · February 22nd, 2012, 01:12 PM

I normally do and already have before, see my posts on page one of this thread. I just wanna go see the actual store. I figure will make a fun day of it. Wish I could ride there.

nickjpass · February 22nd, 2012, 01:23 PM

Okay, I see! I hope I didn't offend you or something.

Not at all. No worries mate.

I look at like this and it's the reason I ride... "Sometimes life is about the journey, not the destination." I am sure that has been said before, if not, I want 100% credit!

nickjpass · February 22nd, 2012, 01:33 PM

I understand. I didn't know you were taking the bike...not sure why I didn't assume that. I asked because it would've have cost a lot, not so much now.

NDspd · February 22nd, 2012, 05:11 PM

I live about an hour and a half away from Iron Pony...so when I get back home for the summer I'll take some rides there.

That's what killed you at the border, they are infamous for ridiculously high "brokerage" fees...

FYI for any future purchases, ask ahead and specify shipping USPS.

redline0889 · February 22nd, 2012, 10:35 PM

So i'm a newb here and looking at getting some of the s-mx 5 boots but not sure on how the sizing works? All i see for options are 39-50 (missing a few numbers in between) but i am only used to using sizes like 11.5 for shoes? Any advice on what an 11.5 would be in the boots?

nickjpass · February 22nd, 2012, 10:37 PM

They're European sizing...what size in American do you wear?

Squalo, thanks for the tip! I'll keep that in mind next time. Looking at a pair of pants next.

Redline, here's a helpful sizing chart:
http://www.motorcyclegear.com/street...cle_boots.html

I purchased a size 44 and they fit great. Snug enough, but still comfortable. For reference, I wear size 9 in Converse Chuck Taylors and 9.5 in Nike Free Runs
