    My suggestion might have Jim2 finally using his precious pillion pegs, well at least if he owned a CB250RS.

    Leave the pillion pegs folded up, then thread the gloves onto the pegs. On the 250RS the pegs are directly above the exhaust pipes. So not only are the gloves nicely held open and exposed, they're also subjected to residual exhaust heat after you park the bike up.

    I have a pair of waterproof overgloves which are brilliant. Wear your normal gloves and put these on over the top. No more wet gloves and they keep your hands warmer especially in winter. www.rain-off.com

    At home, in the hot water cupboard over night (a couple of paper towels stuffed inside can help).

    At work put them next to my PC.

    Your best bet is get a decent pair of waterproof gloves, and treat them with a waterproofing agent every few months. Tucking them inside your jacket cuffs (if you can) works a treat as well.

    my gloves soak through pretty darn quick... at times, it gets to the point where every single finger is numb and feels 3 times the normal size. horrid. i usually carry a spare pair of fingerless gloves, so end up taking off the full gloves and going for those. dries my hands fast and gets the feeling going again.

    ive got neos with knuckle protectors... can these be treated with waterproof stuff? might need to invest in overgloves otherwise.

    I drape mine over the gap between the inner fairing and the forks. A nice gentle heat rises out of there for quite a while as the bike cools and the gloves just dry nicely without getting toasted and "crunchy"

    get some disposable latex gloves to go on underneath.

    I just chuck them on my exhaust (if i think they will get stolen i'll chuck em under the tank)

    Microwaves also work. (just dont get caught doing it at uni in the cafe, the cafe ladies dont like it)

    CRT monitors work wonders.

    as do hairdryers
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    2 pairs of gloves and a hot water cylinder... works every time
    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.

    Hot water cylinder cupboard is best for leather as they need to dry out slowly. No leather clothing or footwear should be forced to dry quickly. This will ruin it. It may take a few days and it will vary depending on how wet the items are.

    Are you taking any prescription medication? [Rain Man]

    Great idea. Surely the TV set will do the same?

    New gloves today dont seem to have them ,
    But you may find some older type leather gloves that have the small pocket on them , in that theres a waterproof nylon cover .
    no more wet gloves
