Just raising a interesting topic on gloves. As most of us riders wear gloves when we are on the road. Haw Eva i all so have seen riders have no gloves on all so. Which raisers this topic as i recall it is not compulsory to wear gloves on Australian roads.
My Question to you all is are you a gloves on or gloves off rider ?
A belt sander spins at 30kph so falling off even at 60kph and having your hands hit the road is twice as bad as putting them in a belt sander.
Have ridden bikes without wearing gloves for many years, mainly off road before going to a Harley.When racing motocross and enduros, I found I found it more comfortable without gloves. Being from Queensland and fair skinned, I now have sun spots on the tops off my hands, and now always wear gloves for sun protection.
One of the few times i didn't wear gloves i came off @ about 90km, fuck all skin left over 3 months off work & mum wiping my arse, so its gloves for me
Yep, gloves for me.
Gloves on cold days or freeway rides. Otherwise no gloves. The skin cancer is something to think about though. I might make sure I do the sunscreen thing on future rides.
I sometimes wear one fingerless glove and moonwalk to the bike. Sha'mon.
Yep, a gloves ON rider.
But, everyone makes up their own mind.
