I took the MSF course in July 2013. After getting my motorcycle license, I decided to buy a bike. Bought a 2004 Honda Shadow 600cc so I can bang it up before buying a newer one in about a year.
I did some research to find the best gear possible. Union Garage came up and I especially liked the reviews, including the Customer Service reviews.
After having the bike dropped off to me from the previous owner, I immediately registered it and had it wait until I can go to Union Garage and get the Gear.
When I went there, I was greeted by one of the sales personnel. He was very nice and explained to me about the quality of each gear that I needed in very good detail. I felt incredibly comfortable.
I decided that I would by the full set of gear. That included:
- Helmet
- Boots
- Jacket
- Gloves
- Magnet Container
At this time, I met the owner, Chris. He was so incredibly nice and helpful. If you want to go to a place which will make you feel like a real paying customer, this is the place!
I've been to other Bike shops, and some are good, but I have not been treated better or have had the opportunity to buy the top quality gear like at Union Garage.
I wound up buying an excellent Bell helmet. I was fitted with one of their display models to make sure the one I was ordering would fit correctly.
The boots was incredible good quality and very stylish. It fits almost perfectly.
I chose 2 pairs of gloves actually. One for casual riding. The other was a Tan Leather glove which was really stylish! I had to get it.
Chris showed me a line of his Customized Motorcycle Jackets that was actually made of Horsehide! Wow... it was beautiful! However, since my size is very difficult to get, I have large arms, a barrel chest on a shorter frame, I chose to have it adjusted. Chris took my measurements and sent in the order.
I just picked up the Jacket and rode for an hour. It fits perfectly, felt comfortable and very protective!
Although I did spend quite a bit on Gear, I was treated so well, the prices were very reasonable, that I cannot give Union Garage anything but a 5 Star!
If you are like me and what the best stuff (especially since I am a new rider), I very highly recommend Union Garage!
