    Some people like to wear cheap disposable latex gloves under the main gloves in those circumstances. The latex keeps your hands dry, and traps a layer of air keeping your hands warm.
    You cna get the latex gloves from supermarkets, chemists, Repco, super cheap auto, etc.

    Me - I just use winter gloves.

    Yes I turn up to uni feeling completely over dressed, I must be the only one ATGATT Though I guess I have a long ride into uni all of it's 50km one way so it warrants complete leatherness. Plus then I can hoon through the country at 140 and not feel quite as scared as I might with jeans on
    Hehe, fun indeed! I'm in on Tuesday, meet you sometime then?

    Pfft, ATGATT is better than coming off at 50 and shredding everything... I feel sorry for those scooterers, most of them just don't know any better...
