Must be a Georgia thing!

I've never heard that... What a minute, I have seen some BMW riders wearing them, so maybe there is some truth to it.

swomack found the answer......ride around with a gay guy on the back of your bike and the gloves will be the least of your worries.


ORIGINAL: swomack

I was in the Smokies at a rest stop with the family and about 50 Harley's bikes rolled up each one had dudes front and back. They were wearing all kinds of gloves but I don't think it was the gloves that made 'em gay. Not something you want your kids around so we decided to **** behind a tree a couple miles down the road.

I hear you... up until hearing this I liked women... then it hit me... "I wear fingerless gloves, I must like dudes".
Damn!! And all this time I thought I was admiring motorcycles at bike nights but the whole time I was sub-consciously checking out the riders! I guess I'll spring it on the wife tonight. Is there another forum out there for us 'Fingerless Glove Wearers'?[&o]

I don't see any gloves on the leadership of the BMW Riders Association...

Well, I have taken a spill with fingerless gloves on. Really didn't hurt anything except the wrists which full gloves wouldn't have helped anyway.

Every time I buy a new set of gloves, I put them in the sink in warm water for a few minutes. Normally gets the extra dye and crap out of 'em. Uh oh, now I am suggesting tips for fabric care... it is true...

Maybe if you washed the new ones in urine and wiped 'em off with an axle grease filled towel, it might be OK!
