View Full Version : Where do you purchase your gear online?

I do shop around a lot and i think its time for some new gear.

I have now Icon Field Armor boots and they are just not the type of boots i need anymore (they are for crusers but i got them for my Ninja 250 because i wanted to be extra safe on my first bike) they don't have anything for my shifting and now its almost a big hole near the front of my boot and not to mention they weigh like 10 pounds.


I also was dumb enough to buy a leather Joe Rocket jacket that offers a ton of padding but very low ratings in the safety department mostly because of it not fitting tight and sliding around if their is a accident.

Also its about that time i get a new helmet, something with less air vents that vibrate my head at high speeds.

Anyone know of some good online stores i can browse?

newenough.com has the best prices and great customer service. I buy from bike shops though. I like to support them and I hate getting stuff that doesn't fit.

If you buy something like a helmet you may want to try it on at a store so you can remember the size then order it online.

+1

their closeout prices are really good. i just bought a shoei x11 for $395 shipped. the cheapest i've seen this helmet online is $623. at a local store, it's like, $659.

new enough, motostrano and a few others are also good. if your going to buy online, definitly try on the items your interested in at alocal shop first.

but, i agree with steve. i look to support local buisnesses first. unless it's a super duper deal, like that x11 i just bought.

definitly support your local shops.

I've been a newenough.com fan/customer for years and they are great. But I recently bought some new leather gear and kneedraggers.com totally blew newenough away on prices.

kneedraggers is ok. I ordered something a couple of weeks ago and they accused me of not paying for a couple of days. Then things were cleared up a few days later. All in all my order was delayed almost a week cause of some mishap. A mishap that wasn't mine though.

Thanks for the heads-up. I paid via PayPal and I think I'll call them tomorrow to make sure they received the payment!

P.S. They were nearly $125 cheaper than any other place, including newenough

Not sure about US but in Canada I buy from GP Bikes. They have some great brands and discounts/free shipping on larger purchases... I think over $200.

i buy from bobscycle.com they are local (twin cities, minnesota) so i can check it out and drive over and pick it up. even if you don't buy nothing, its worth a check because they *generally* have the lowest prices in town. plus, everything is discounted a few bucks, not just a few select items per week like other places.

What ever you do, stay away from Ride Gear (located in Scotts Valley, California). They are simply the worst online business I've ever encountered. The last transaction I had with them I had to call my credit card company to dispute the charge since they never shipped me the product. After the fact, I checked the Better Business Bureau's website and they have nothing but complaints.
