Plus here in Dallas it is to damn hot for gloves year around, so with fingerless gloves I get the protection and comfort in my palms when riding that I am looking for, but don't have to worry about the loss of sensation of heat from a full size glove. To each there own, that is why they sell more then one pair. If that makes me gay, that makes you a simple minded A$$.

I never gave it a thought what it might look like when I cut the fingers off at set of gloves back in 1970. Hey, but the original post was something about posting topics with substance other than what seemed to upset 92classic.
Maybe you could give us a list of topics that would be ok to talk about there 92, then you could join us while we mused them.

The fingerless gloves actually started a long time ago when bikes has carbs (anyone remember that!). You still want protection on your palms, but you need to make carb adjustments often, so the fingerless gloves. It started with the clubs in South Cali (go figure) but they would just cut the thumb and finger off the gloves, right hand. Then it spread from there.
If you dont like them, don't ware them, thats fine. But, be carful of the "gay" stuff. You really don't know what you are talking about.

Or maybe it's my repressed turd burglar trying to get out, I dunno.
Here's what you do:
Next time you see someone wearing some fingerless gloves, just go up and ask 'em.
"What's the purpose of those fingerless gloves? You some kinda homo or something?"
Be sure and report back on the response you get so we can all benefit.

I wear 'em in the summer because I sweat a lot, and my grips are metal. Keeps my hands from slippin' around.
