    Gloves. Motard on road?

    interesting to see what gloves peeps here use, and maybe repost

    how safe are motard gloves on road or track?

    they are much more agile and light. give a more direct feel.. less slack on the tips too

    What are you riding?

    When on big rides, I wear decent road gloves but for commuting, I have 'tard type gloves...

    When it's cold, I have winter gloves...

    I have a nice light pair of Quasi's vented race gloves which I wear early spring thru late autumn (have heated grips for the cold mornings) and warm waterproof ones for the dead of winter.
    Experience......something you get just after you needed it

    I wear QMOTO SPS KNOX ones (surprisingly) went over the front the other week and they saved my hands big time.
    without sounding like an advert, I dont really like the short gauntlet ones, I reckon you need a bit of wrist protection on the road personally especially the outside wrist bone part
    Ive run out of fucks to give

    As a resident old fart my choice of gloves is decided by the situation.
    A test ride up n down our side street and I prefer the light weight of my dirt bike gloves.
    On the road I wear whatever type of glove the weather dictates -thin gloves seem to get my hands cooler.
    For the track--basicly the heaviest gloves i can wear whilst havin feel through the controls.
    I second quasi's comment about wrist protection
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
