    I'm assuming you're saying you want finglerless gloves.. though I can't see why. I like my fingers Wouldn't want a hand without 'em..

    i dunno what they do with them. the ones ive got were given to me about 4 years ago by one of my favourite canadians. they were given to him by another biker, and i guess one day i will pass them on.

    i love em... during the summer i live in them, and end up with a brown rectangle on the back of my hand, and brown knuckles due to where theres no leather. looks funny as, but i love it!

    the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.

    Just because you ride a Harley, it doesn't mean that you have to turn into a sheep and forget about safety does it? Or does it?

    Saw a Harley guy on the Thames-Coro road today who looked a bit like Dad on American Chopper. However, the thing I really noticed was his helmet. The sides finished above his ears which would offer stuff-all protection in an impact. Wondered if it was even legal in this part of the world.

    Fingerless gloves rock, they are the best for summer, only downside to them is that your fingers get filthy.

    If you're not wering them for protection then why wear them at all?

    Fingerless gloves remind me of "Auld Jakeys in Glesga" (drunk old homeless guys in doorways having pissed their trousers) so they can't be wearing them to look good can they?

    S'like tassles innit.

    But to answer your original question - I have no idea what they do with the little finger bits they've cut off.
    In space, no one can smell your fart.

    I always thought that they were de-boned, deep-fried, snap-frozen, then covered in chocolate.....................That's how Chocolate Fingers are made!

    If he crashes.........that's called natural selection isn't it?

    I wear one of those helmet 80%+ of of the time.
    And wear fingerless gloves - but made in US ones with thicker leather and padding where it counts
    And I don't wear body armour
    And I wear tassles.

    IF I DO bin? well it'll all go pear-shaped big-time, may I never bin.

    But riding like that is MY idea of freedom, others may differ.

    Each to their own - hell, a lot of people wouldn't do my job because "it's too dangerous"

    Harley riders. Fingerless gloves, black sleeveless leather vest with HOG patches, black jeans, black HD tee-shirt, matt black openface helmet, Dirty Dog shades, black Johnny Rebs (with spurs), HD tattooes, ear-ring, beard, ponytail, cliche. Expressing their "individuality". Harley riders.
