Of course, that's why I wear fingerless gloves, I got tired of my finger gettin' stuck in my nose with the full gloves. LOL

Gerbing classic electric gloves for winter riding,
Insulated for cooler weather

When its cold (yes) warm (no). [sm=happybounce.gif] The fingerless gloves make it easier to pick your nose.

I have the Harley Air-Flow gloves for warm days... most comfortable light weight gloves I've ever worn. (even on hot August days here in the desert of SLC).
Here's the link http://www.harley-davidson.com/mcm/m...bmLocale=en_US
During the winter I wear medium weight gauntlet gloves that I got at a sport bike shop and then wear glove liners from REI inside of them.

Only when it is cold out. I have a pair of perforated full finger leather gloves that I wish I had on when I went down a couple years ago. Of course it was about 95 degrees out so even perf gloves would have been hot. Course I probably wouldn't have road rash scars on my knuckles and wrist

Default RE: gloves

Natural instinct when falling is to throw palms first foreward. I know, I twisted frames on everything from ten speed bikes Slamming guardrailsin the 70s to dirt bikes in the late 70s and early 80s I do own fingerless gloves but dont wear them. But I feel to those who say fingerless gloves are useless have never been flung mid air foreward. Each and every time i have. I found natural instinct was to hit Palms first. I have done it enough times to know the Sting.Had a Motorcycle wreck in 78 and back then gloves for riding were unheard of. But any wreck I had on two wheels natural instinct was to throw the Palms out to break the fall. Cant believe that fingerless gloves are useless especially in the warmer Southern States. I read alot of posts about heated gloves. So what i am hearing is its ok if your little fingers get cold fromriding, I have felt temps 40- 70 below ZeroBut if i wear fingerless glovesnow that I finally live in aSouthern Stateim weak in some way.If you do happen to see me wearing them. Approach me and tell me I am weak for wearing them. Bet Ill chang your attitude Fast.

Getting to wear leather pants with no butt and gloves with no fingers is the only reason I bought a Harley.
