Engagement/wedding/normal rings and gloves?

[hellokitty]

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?

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

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

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

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

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 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

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.

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

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.

Stirts & I are a lil shocked Such potty talk Miss Kitty...




... needless to say, we are suitably proud



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 ...

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

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

So, thanks for that!
