haha, it's impossible for me to get a boot up to a mirror now too.

 

 

i ride with gloves 95% of the time. got some nice Ixon's that fit well and are durable as, with the solid knuckles. the other 5% is when it's bullshit hot and only on very short trips, in which case i'm generally in shorts and a shirt so it seems pointless to wear gloves in that case.

however i've been knocked off before and my gloves copped a few holes and tears. would hate to think what my hands would have looked like if i wasnt wearing them then
