What an utterly spurious argument.

You're suggesting that the gloves he offered you would provide little protection, and therefore you didn't bother wearing them?

You're suggesting that no protection is better than little protection?

I think you'd better stick to cars eh mate.

BTW Magua, I've seen leather gloves for $29 at Motomail.

That's bugger all, and will protect you better than snowboarding gloves will.

As you may note, I have corrected my mispelling, if you choose to address the issue I have raised.

All I can say is I hope you never face a situation where you realise the value of good gear, be that you coming of, or like I have seen... friends hurting themselves very badly because of their stupidity and lack of making sure safety should be taken seriously.

*ends rant*

Amen sister.

Of the few times i have had slight incidents the gloves got totally wasted. I would not have any skin on my hands if i had not been wearing any though. All i can say is that decent gear has saved a few of my appendages from serious harm and if you are willing to ride around like that you had better go buy a wheel chair before you get a bike ...... cause you'll end up needing it.

Glad to hear.

To clarify the point, at 100km/h you will not graze your hands.

You will experience degloving. Imagine your skin, muscle and tendons as a glove over the bones in your hand.

I'm sure you can work out the rest, and thus why I speak so forcefully on the issue.

**Frankie** · 11th November 2004, 21:55

I understand that if i was to fall off on the motorway id have little to no chance...

cmon lets hug n make up now

**Motu** · 11th November 2004, 22:18

He's wearing more safety gear than I used to at his age,we didn't use helmets then,no ACC and our bikes were bigger and easier to fall off - on the other hand back then the roads were softer...we would bounce right back up and use hormones supplied to us in our youth to rapdly mend dented bodies.
