I wear fingerless gloves all the time in the summer, my grips are smooth and they give me blisters if I don't. Like raking the lawn without wearing work gloves. But I could care less what anyone thinks...don't like 'em, don't look! BTW - not once has anyone said anything to my face about them, imagine that...

I posted this a week or two ago on this same discussion on another thread.

My wife thinks fingerless gloves look sexy on me. As long as she feels that way, I will wear them. Her opinion means more to me than any fashion police.

Look, lots and lots of riders wear fingerless gloves, and azzless chaps. do rags, wave, and drink starbucks coffee. It is just a way to kid each other on the forum, have some fun, have some laughs, be smartazzes. Roll with it....it's FUN, pure and simple. No one hates them, NO they are not gay and neither is anything else......it's teasing for teasing, and BS for BS, cuz it's fun.....

Life is a joke.....are you laughing???

Uh, because this is a fingerless glove thread...

But, since you brought it up, I bet there are a lot of folks out there who have worn nothing but chaps at on time or another, maybe they just won't admit it.

Only while riding an Ultra or Wing. And never while waving.
