First post

Lurked here a bit over the last year or so (mainly just stare at product shots) yet I only own one IH item which I've had about 6 months, the IH634s which I actually bought slightly used but got it at a 1/4 of the price so I'm pretty happy. Great jeans.
I found out about them over a year ago when I went looking online for parts for my W650 on Japanese sites and while browsing stumbled across them and had to get a pair somehow.
The price on them new pretty much killed that idea so I waited and waited til I found a used pair for sale on sufu. I'd get a new pair now but still that price... even then I was only able to justify it to the wife at that lowly price by telling her how much safer they are, lol. $150 shipped for a slightly used pair is dirt cheap but when you're used to buying $40 Levis it's still pretty high.
Thank god I got them sized for riding and not sized for picture posing since they are a bit big and if I posted fit pics I'd be told I should have "horrible fit, size down 2" but damn comfortable for actually riding. I can't imagine why some people would buy them a few sizes too small but to each his own. I have another pair of 21oz jeans I wear more for work which are nice as well (better made in my opinion) but the IHs are way for comfortable and are better in cold weather riding.
Great site and great products. Hopefully I can squirrel money away from the wife and save for some more IH gear.
