    I DO wear fingerless gloves when I'm in town, means I can take my helmet off etc without removing gloves when I am on-and-off the bike a lot, rest of the time I have good quality gloves. (have been known to wear welding gloves when budget tight)
    If you wear fingerless gloves, why wear gloves at all?

    For palm and knuckle protection.I used to wear fingerless gloves - actualy the cloves were so old that the index finger stiching came apart from punching Amal ticklers,so I cut the rest off too.Yes,they don't cover some important areas - one day I lost the front end and as the bike went down my right leg was trapped under the bike - bike and I sailing down the road at speed with me on my stomach and digging my fingers into the road surface to stop.Shit,my fingers were stinging when we stopped!

    Lets see if ya's all can work this out.
    I have several gloves that have finger tips only,no palm at all.
    They work just fine for their intended purpose too.

    Hey, I know if we got together and sewed what bits of gloves we have together we could end up with you having no gloves and me having a good set eh!!! l

    Wouldn't it be better to have your finger sewn back on, rather than sellotaped?

    Mmm...nice; very trendy.

    I must be bad - I have 5 (five) pairs of glubs, and think I need some more.
    I have one pair (Spidi Pro-1) that I most of the time, my old AGVs that I wear sometimes when it's threatening to rain, a pair of crappy 'waterproof' Orina gloves that I wear iffen I have to (if it's cold and/or really pissindown), a pair that a lady at work gave me (can't remember the brand), and a pair of leather ones that I don't like wearing.

    Should really get rid of some, I guess, but I don't like chucking out things that are still "good".

    If anyone wants either of the last two pairs mentioned, let me know. I never wear them, so I should really get rid of them. The other three pairs live in my bag or on my hands.
