    EL cheapo gloves

    Me thinks this description was written by a non motorcyclist.

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-641135777.htm

    At $21.90 I wonder how much of a bargain they are.

    ''four fingers high breathable mesh design'' Technically he is right, the fifth digit is called a thumb.

    I like to play a bit of 'Tool' to my gloves before I ride - I find it revs them up and their reaction time is quicker when I am wearing them. I've done a bit of research into the affect music has on your riding gear and discovered if I play more relaxed music (say Norah Jones) the gloves and riding gear are slower to react to my physical inputs.

    Given the maker of these gloves has obviously done similar research I conclude that they are a quality unit worth every cent of their $22 asking price.

    Dumb ass!

    Scary thing is that it will be the scooter commutor types that will wear those gloves, have an off, wear off a couple of fingers and some of their hand, and it will be a "motorcycle" stat that the pollies can add to bump our ACC reg componant up

    I had to do it,

    I posted a question suggesting he get a motorcyclist who understands english to write the description. Funny thing, is he has thousands of trades and a 98% good guy feedback.

    Where he will find someone who rides a bike AND understands english might prove interesting.


    Also has a full body armour riding jacket for $49.

    Looking forward to his reply. "Gloves are england not once written high quality sports blue" or something like that.
