I've actually seen guys walking around in bike gear get into cars and leave. Posers..........[/quote]

that's too funny!!!

 

Can you say,"VILLAGE PEOPLE"?

 

I used to wear fingerless gloves with gel inserts in the palms when I rode a bicycle as a roadie. They are fine when the speed of the potential accident is slow enough that you can keep your palm down and fingertips up. I wouldn't give wearing them a second thought on the highway on my REAL bike since I slid on my face and hands for about a hundred yards after a dink ran a stop sign one day on my way home from work. The deerskin Z Leathers gloves barely wore through the finger tips and palms but my hands and fingers were spared injury.

Gloves without fingers seem to infuriate fashion queens who wish to set fashion trend to fit their idea of what a biker looks like. Good thing I got more then one pair of different types of gloves to fit the weather. Increases my chances of dressing right. Fashion queens the ultimate follow me posers.

 

Not this crap again. Who the f**k cares! Wear what you want, ride what you want & everyone else grow some *****. This place is like a nursery sometimes. OK, carry on.

 

I have repeated this in another post when someone was commenting about fingerless gloves. I have Vitiligo (loss of pigmet in skin?), which is really showing up on my hands as I get older. I wear fingerless gloves when it is hot and when I'm off the bike I take the gloves off, it would seem funny to me walking around with them on but realistically I would be better off leaving them on as they would work better than sun block.

 

First, if you search, you'll find this topic come up again and again:Second, to hell with what the idiotic "fashion police" says! Wear what you choose. Ride what you choose. Live how you choose. It's nobody else's business. If someone has a problem with what you wear, THEY'RE the one with the problem!

 

I wear insulated gloves when its cold.No gloves for me when its warm enough to ride without them.

 

Classic!!
