i like the feel of the grips and levers in my hands rather than having bulky gloves in between me and my controls.

i roll gloveless unless it's real cold

Default Value my hands to much

i value my hands to much not to wear gloves.

What is the first thing you do when you fall; you put your hands out.

would you put your hands on a rotating sandinding disk? Same effect as sliding down the road with no gloves. Skin grafts on hands are not good either as your hands flex so much

Always have and always will wear gloves. Protection, grip, and comfort. Different gloves for different weather. Once I got used to wearing gloves ---doesn't bother me to wear them.

Bad idea to ride without gloves. If you go down and put hands down won't be much meat left on fingers.

For me gloveless above 65 degrees. Single layer leather gloves 55-65 and insulated below 55.

I always wear gloves when riding just out of habit...I like the Cortech GX air gloves and the Cortech Acclerator 2 gloves. They are both perforated for warm weather riding, but I do need to get some non perforated gloves for colder weather.
