What's with the No gloves riding?
Has any body noticed a increase in riders not wearing gloves?
I was lucky enough to get a ride day with Barrie Sheen(late) and Mick Doohan some years ago and turned up on my Ducati Monster but with no gloves!
Mine were old and worn and didn't want to wear them! They all flat out refused to ride with me, we stopped off at City bikes and I forked out for a new pair of carbon enforced gloves!
Barry later in Strathalbyn had a chat and said always wear three things, helmet, shoes and definitely gloves!
First thing that hits the deck is your head, we take the load on our hands and bike drags on ankle or foot!
I never forget that yet see so many knobs on their mega bikes and No gloves!
What are people thoughts on that, I realize on the Paris Roubais there were a couple of pro riders not gloved up and that may have started it but are there others of the same opinion!
What is the skin on your paws worth to you?

Why are tan lines an issue at work?
Oh and I just wonder how many cyclists wear gloves because it's more convienient than searching each pocket for the elusive handkerchief

Actually tan line is my pride now.....much better than sparkling skin.
