Review content:
The Iron Pony is THE destination store for bikers - cruisers, sport bikes, trikes, quads, dirt, dual-sport, they serve them all, and sell them as well. Think Cabelas if Cabelas did power-sports. \r

I've been riding for 2 years (17,000 miles), and this is _THE_ place to get darn near everything you need as a rider. If they don't have it, you probably don't need it. Thousands of leather jackets, thousands of helmets, probably 2000 boots, and all manner of accessories for not just motorcycling, but the biker lifestyle as well (ok, they don't actually DO tattoos). While they can't keep every part for every bike in stock, their parts department is really good about working with you, researching, and providing good advice along with the quality service.\r
\r
The staff is first-rate, friendly, and almost all of them are serious riders - many with 20-30 years experience across many types of riding. Iron Pony staff take the time to talk through your riding style, needs and provide great opinions. They'll take saddlebags and light bars out to your bike to check fitment, and make sure you're aware of installation issues to look out for. Working with their sales staff is like having a buddy as a trusted advisor on ""the inside"". I've had Iron Pony staff actually talk me out of a sale, telling me I wouldn't be happy with the results of what I'd planned, and send me down the street to AutoZone to get a part that is more commonly found in auto parts stores (like generic wiring harnesses and switches).\r

Not only is their inventory vast, but their deals are great... sure, you _MIGHT_ save 1-3% buying from Dennis Kirk online, but won't have the opportunity to fit it to your motorcycle in advance, and get all the advice. The level of expertise and customer service are like you experience at that 50-year old neighborhood hardware store where you get not just the left-handed nut bracket, but installation advice as well... worth a few extra pennies over big-box hardware store when you want really good quality and a good experience. This is like that and more. \r

I won't take my bike anywhere else but Iron Pony for service, they're top-rate, great guys, and at a price the dealers can't touch. They call me by name when they see me, and ask questions about my bike, trips I took, and how different accessories are working out. It's really phenomenal how much they care about their customers.\r

Regretfully, I live only a mile from Iron Pony, so the siren's song of their incredible store is powerful indeed! Iron Pony just freakin' rocks. I just wish I would have invested in it 15 years ago!!
