    Why don't Bikies wear gloves?

    Is that still a term? Used to be common in the 80s, but this isn't that thread.

    This thread is why it is so common for baddie wannabes to ride around in leather jackets (compulsory) big boots (also), a fucked helmet of some sort. .. but never gloves?

    Has the noise drone affected their sense of risk aversion? Or is there some other sociopathic or perhaps Religious reason that is not obvious to the casual observer?
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    They're not capable of picturing their best mate, girl friend wiping their arse for them, that is all there is to it.

    Is that some sort of sexual fetish or a board game from the 70s? Sorry not so up with the play in this sort of thing.

    My theory is that most of these are wannabe bikie 'look-a-likes' and are not real riders. As in, they have little time in the saddle, not really interested in motorcycling other than a means to look tough while they pose from cafe to cafe. Due to this lack of experience they have never had an 'off' and learned the valuable lesson that hitting tarmac at anything above a walking pace hurts and injures.

    How they cope in winter beggars belief but many still won't glove up?

    You raise an interesting question. What did the ape do to make one want to hang it?

    The ape hangers save them a small fortune in under arm deodorant, and is kinder to the environment. The lack of gloves adds more feel for when they catch sight of themselves whilst riding past reflective shop windows.

    I always thought they didn't wear gloves 'cause you can't pick your nose with gloves on.

    Good point saw one out west today with a pair of not so nice naked legs. Went well with the arms stretched in the air on what could once be called Ape Hangers.
