    Big Glubs

    My glubs are fukd. And I've tried on 3783 new ones in the last month. And none of them fit.

    I've obviously been lucky before this, but nowhere in this fucking country, now is there glubs to fit.

    I'll admit my hands are likely a fucking weird shape. Deformed possibly. However according to most sizing charts I should fit an XXXL item. A few manufacturers make 'em, a few even make XXXXL glubs. None of them are big enough.

    I tried some Dririder XXXXL mesh glubs the other day. Couldn't physically get them on.

    WTF? All I want is some nice vented summer glubs. Is that too much to ask?

    That is a bit extreme, he probably only needs to break a couple of fingers

    I have just had exactly the same experience. I ended up getting some 3xl gloves from wellington motorcycles. I think they may be dririder as well but not mesh. They are very fine hide tho and are still very snug. They did not have 4xl in anything as I recall.
    I can suggest you make your hands smaller by repeatedly pounding axles face?
    Oh and I am selling my Buell. It is on TM at the moment. Tis the first time i am selling a bike I would rather keep! Oh well, it has been mucho fun!

    Ah well, sometimes needs must, dude. And at least you've added a slightly odd but surprisingly rapid machine to your motorbicycling experiences eh?

    I was offered my old CR back the other month. I'm still thinking about it.

    The thing about Buells is that they're all quite different, and that particular 1125 was particularly crisp and shiny.

    Meh. It was only ever a bucket list bike, I'm not really a good sprotsbike rider. But damn it had some serious boogie, and I did enjoy embarrassing some of my more conventionally mounted friends.

    Selling the bike for a big deck, looks like you're screwed.

    Have you tried 1 Tonne? I've a pair of their gloves, got em a year or two ago when a friend and I rode down there to get his jacket form them.
    Their range did I believe have a 4 XL, worth a tinkle.
    Gloves are going strong and were extremely good value for money.
