Engagement/wedding/normal rings and gloves?

[Lozza2442]

Heya all

I am in the process of getting a new engagement ring designed (broke my last one -_-) and in the meantime I'm wearing a band thats fairly thick and the same size all the way around.

Does anyone else feel like their finger is losing blood circulation when they wear rings and gloves? The ring is not too tight. If anything it's too loose. I have a feeling that it has to do with the fact that the ring is too wide.

What is your experience? What do you do? Leave them on when you ride or take it off everytime you ride?

[Lucyloo]

I don't ride with any jewellery on. Gloves don't feel comfortable with rings on and helmet not great with earrings.

I wear mine under gloves no problems, its reasonably wide at 8mm. doesn't give me any problems racing or road riding and my gloves are pretty tight too. I don't wear it weekdays because of work so its always a bit funny 1st 5min on weekends but then all good.

My Jacobs ladder is tad uncomfortable, but I just harden up.

My first ring was pretty wide and not that tight and was fine. Then again I was used to holding onto things with a ring on :shifty: like a rowing oar and handle bars. New ring is slightly narrower but is looser and I still don't have a problem.

It just comes down to what you get used to.

And wearing them also doesn't cause any more injuries if you come off. They just bend and then you can use them for really expensive key rings :)

you mean... married people are allowed motorcycles???

Don't wear your rings outside your gloves. Other bikers aren't that interested in your marital status and the circulation in your finger should improve dramatically.

Shiiii- I KNEW I was doing something wrong.

I'm a woman. I'm like a magpie. Not wearing sparkly things outside where they can go *sparkle sparkle* is not an option for me.

So you think stirts was referring to bling? :laugh: Well I see they now make dishwashing gloves with their own external bling so perhaps you can source some Mcycle gloves with built on rings, as in jewellery
:laugh:

You kinky bitch - you don't vagjazzle you analjazzle!! :niceone:

I tend not to wear much in the way of jewellery when I ride. My engagement and eternity rings are too small now to wear anyway, but I tended to find any stone which is set above a band awkward inside gloves. Rings which are a band only - kinda depends on the edge and width as to whether or not they cut into the skin between my fingers. Each is different.

How is Gordies Opal anyway?...:corn:

[The Lone Rider]

Google image the word Degloving


Then decide if you want to wear a ring, or get one tattooed onto your finger.

[Stirts]

His Opal is, and will always be, of the Menilite variety - brown and impure.

My engagement ring is 5mm wide with a rubover setting designed with motorcycle gloves in mind. My wedding band is 7mm wide. Yes they are huge - I have no problems riding with them. I never take them off, and they have been present during several dirt bike "incidents".
I also have many earings with aren't an issue with my helmet.
Talk to the person making the ring and surely they can figure something out.... I have seen some wide rings that have the underneath part much thinner to allow for better finger flexing - this could work for you maybe?

you mean... married people are allowed motorcycles???

The OP is only engaged ... The brakes will come on after the "I Do" bit ... :shifty:

Hmmm I got our bikes after the wedding. I only got a GN250, but I got the husband a 1200 Bandit

A good woman is sooo hard to find <sigh>

Well done ... He won't want a divorce. He'll be worried you'll take them back.

But I think the OP's issue with rings ... is more to do with tightness of grip on the bars. And position of the controls. (Brake and clutch)

I eventually progressed to my 900cc Hornet... and he has regressed to a Harley...

Back to the rings, I found larger grips and thick leather gloves helped with comfort, plus you soon develop callouses :facepalm:

There could be some debate ... as to the question of suzuki to harley being improvement ... or not ... :facepalm:

Callouses on a womans hand .... debate on that too ... no doubt ... :laugh:

ROTFPMSL,

I'm still on my first ring and it's as tight as it ever was. I didn't realise you could get your ring replaced when it got all worn out, great news for all the Honda riders out there.

[cc rider]

Don't wear your rings outside FULL STOP!!!I wear my knickers on the outside so I can go commandette in my leathers...


we were talking rings yeah :blink:

[GDOBSSOR]

Indeed. Everybody in MY family has sold their bikes after marriage thus far, opting for SUVs or stationwagons... Personally, I see it as a disturbingly over-sensible state of maturity.

... needless to say, we are suitably proud :hug:



OP - As with everything involved with motorcycling, there is a safety element to consider. You'll workout what's comfortable for you.

See .. this is why women should be kept in the kitchen and not allowed motorcycles ... :innocent:

I lead a sheltered life. I had never heard of that. and of course I just googled it. At work.

So, thanks for that! ;)

how shall I say this....... FUCK NO!

I hate needles, and the thought of someone doing (in effect) microsurgery on my pee pee makes me shudder.

You said pee pee :killingme

A shudder? Is that all? I would've thought that it would give you an innie?

Personally, I take both my wedding and engagement rings off for riding.

Reason is, if you off (which, let's not be childishly PC about, can happen), I am told the standard approach by paramedics is to cut any rings off you to facilitate blood circulation.

Now, I don't know about you, but I'd rather avoid this as those two bits of jewellery kind of mean a lot to me.

And as fun as it would be to have the insurance kick in and give me a new sparkler, it just wouldn't be the same.

[bosslady]

"Glad" I'm single and don't have to deal with this "dilemma" can't wear jewellery at work anyway so just never bother full stop unless I'm going out. p.s. thanks to the person who mentioned googling degloving.... bleurk!

[fireliv]

I wear my rings, princess cut engagement pretty thin. Under my gloves. My theory is if I go, I want to go out in style with my rings!!

but if take your rings off, then you wont get the good drugs from the cute paramedic girl/ guy who thinks your single...

but yes after wearing tighty whity briefs under my leathers and then having them cut off, i swore it would be dan carter style boxers from then on in... mind you i wasnt really concerned at the time with the morphine kicking in what i looked like, i just said righto cut them off...(the leathers)
