A number of years ago in Sturgis at the H-D dealer, I bought (on clearance even) some nice full-fingered gloves, but the tip of the thumb and index finger peeled back whenever needed.
They are now really old and sun faded and on their last legs. I have searched everywhere and I cannot find those gloves or any like it. I can find plenty of fingerless gloves, which I don't want. I can find plenty of every other style of gloves, but not these.
I've searched these forums, Google, Amazon, Revzilla, etc. Maybe my search skills just suck.
Does anybody know of this kind of glove and can send me a link? I've got to think plenty of people would like them.
Of more importance, I loved this in the description: "UCLA Researchers found that 20-minute motorcycle rides increased riders’ heart rates by 11% and adrenaline levels by 27%. These values are similar to what would be experienced when performing some light exercise. They also noted there was a 28% decrease in cortisol and other biomarkers of stress."
With no traffic, I could make it to UCLA in 20 minutes, and I'm tempted to see if I can replicate their test. (With traffic, it would probably take an hour.)
