Someone posted pictures of what looked like hands that had fingerless gloves on them and after the slide, fingers were ground to the bone. Palms and back of hands still covered with skin.Rider said he gonna re-think type of gloves he used.

Oh yeah, right, right. Scars are cool too. Chicks really dig them too... They love scars. Nothin' like hangin' 'round in bed tellin' stories about all the scars on your body. Chicks dig it & fingerless gloves.

The real reason for fingerless gloves is so that you can use your ipod/iphone with this attached to your tank.

I'm still searching for a use for my assless chaps.
