In fact my wife says she would not for any reason do that wipe thing.

For my trip to Scotland I bought FXRG waterproof gloves. I liked them very much while riding in (heavy) rain and cooler temperature.

I just tuck my hands in my pockets most of the time when it's raining, just lean with the curves. Hell, I can't see anyway ! Rain really ticks me off because it's hard to keep my smoke lit.....lol

I always wear leather gloves when riding. Insulated in the winter, unlined and perforated in the summer, and waterproof in the rain.

Wow! You're good. Are you the guy texting on the Blue Ultra? Did you learn that on the "Ride like a pr#$k" DVD? LOL

I keep a set of these on the bike (they pack up really small) and wear them over whatever gloves I have on when the rain starts.

They look a bit odd, but they do the job.

I've got some Nomex flight gloves that I wear most of the time but not always. They have good feel in the fingers so you can feel what you're doing.

I wear gloves always when riding, and sometimes even when washing (ha ha) my Roadking. If/when you were to drop a bike, first instinct is to catch yourself and roadrash can really mess ya up.

I wear gloves all the time, no matter the weather. I wear fingerless 90% of the time, if the temperature happens to drop below 50, then I go to regular gloves.
