If you have a tinted visor DO NOT put gloves inside them I know from racing, Your tint film on the visor scratches away andf becomes SHIT

I think the police occifer did a good thing, I know that it feels like they are "lecturing", or being condescending, but I liken it to a mate saying " your too drunk to drive, take a cab home", it's good advice, even if it gets your back up at the time.

NZ is full of friends who are softcocks, who won't tell a mate if they think he's doing something risky, they just laugh it off, and say nothing. The cop was being a friend imo. You know you don't normally ride without gloves, so this shouldn't be too much of an issue eh?.

On a slightly different note, the courier driver who just dropped a parcel at my door was an absolute HONEY!!!!, omg she is hot.

Hindsights a bitch eh!

I don't know what kind of tint you have Ivan, but most tinted visors are solid tinted.

Putting gloves inside your helmet will slowly transfer bugs and stuff to your helmet lining though.

yip they are solid tint but its only onthe surface not through the whole thing all my tinted visors are the same you put gloves inabnd they scratch them and become transperent

Great to see - never mind being pulled over for a safety concern, its usually only the speed thing -

I've mentioned elsewhere that for every second you slide down one of our lovely super smooth roads, you lose 5mm of flesh and muscle.

No gloves? Interesting that your fingers and hands are one part of the body that hasn't got very much more than 5mm of flesh and skin anywhere. so what's left to grind away? Ummm...... bones, tendons, blood vessels etc.

Next time you go to the bog to do numbers two's, try wiping your arse without using any hands and then think twice about going out without gloves on again.

The cop did you a real big favour and if I'm too graphic, sometimes shock treatment helps.

Wear your gloves please!!!!!!

Told the officer this and he said "why didn't you find something else then? What? Mittens? Kitchen gloves? I wish I did have my gloves, it was bloody cold.

Is it usual for an officer to pull you over for this reason? I would think that as long as you take care of the statutory stuff i.e. helmet, what you wear or not wear is none of their business. Or am I wrong?

Your brave. You only get one set of hands. I would say the cop was doing his civic duty and trying to give a steer in the right direction.

Slightly off subject, does anyone know of anyone who rides and has one (left) arm. We have a customer at work who has the use of his right arm only. He's sick of accumulating unused left hand gloves.
I'm NOT kidding.

OneArmedBandit must have and idea what to do with excess left-hand gloves - he rides using just his right hand too.
