You don't have a PC? The monitors make good glove dryers.
Alternatively, but some decent gloves (or waterproof overdoofers, as previously mentioned). No-one should have to put up with wet gloves.

Why not buy yourself some rain-off overgloves? Those things really do work well to keep your hands warm and dry even in the worst downpour.

Yeah, I've got some but cant be bothered using them for the squirt to work I use them when I'm doing bigger K's. You know what its like when its just a quicky you dont mind getting wet but when you want to go the distance a little protection can help aye

I had hair once! (Now it just grows out of my ears etc)

Yeah - in a light shower I don't bother with them. But if it is raining hard enough to make my leather gloves wet then it is worth chucking on the rain-offs - it's not like it takes 2 whole minutes or a ridiculous amount of time like that.

Of course it is a bit easier for me. On my scoot I can fit my waterproof overpants, overjacket and overgloves all under the seat, with enough room left over to fit my helmet & gloves or a couple of bags of groceries. I also have 35 litres of storage in the top box over and above that!

But still - if it is raining hard enough to make your gloves wet then it is worth the extra 30 seconds to put the rain-offs over your gloves! Why be uncomfortable wearing wet gloves? You already take the trouble to wear overpants, why should your hands miss out on the luxury of dryness?

Microfibre pants are the Sh*t babay!!

Can't get creased at all.

I spoze there has to be some compensation for riding a scooter...

now, now - my scooter is the best city commuter vehicle that I have ever owned. I hardly need something that has a top speed over 200kph for driving around the city, because that isn't legal anyway! It's not like I pass a few cars on the motorway and then look down to see the needle on 150kph or anything like that. (I definitely didn't experience that yesterday!)

I kinda like having no demerit points, imagine how quickly I could lose my license if I rode a VFR800 every day!
