All better than wearing no gloves.

That's a good point to emphasise - even the lousiest, most rotten pair of gloves is still better than no gloves at all.

what kind of gloves is it that you got for $50 ah? have picture to show?

motoworld is at kaki bukit rd 1. its located inside the bldg where security sits at the entrance.

 

went there yesterday, think the $50 one he refer to is the hodaka one??

[standlee]

hmm, i do try to make it a point to wear gloves during my rides...

 

on the other hand, is kinda ironic when the poll shows the majority wearing gloves but u dun really see tat much riders on the road with gloves??

Any short glove recmmandation?

I got a long one but too hot for normal uses.

Burget about $60 or so?

Hi Hachi,

I just saw a short glove and a very comfortable glove not leather but made out off textiles and have all the paddings, carbon fibre knuckle protection, and not forgetting washable too- When you wear that glove it dosen't feel like wearing a glove at all....and it is very good for our clilmate use...at chap lee-along serangoon rd.

 

Price slightly on the X they asking for $75 have not bargain yet- but if you bargain you can have for a better pricing- brand -first racing model:dual ....you must try!

my first accident....did not wear gloves (neber buy also). use my hand to reduce impact.

my right hand the palm area lost a lot of skin. my left pinkie finger got 7 stiches. damn painful leh for 2-4 wks somemore both hands kanna. now using short gloves with carbon kevlar knuckles, Taichi. Better to find those with leather esp on ure palm area. it really hurts man if there is no skin there

i onli wear my gloves wen going for 'long' trips....

[GT Fazer]

I wear gloves when not riding in the rain as mine is leather. Anyway, just find that it's more to individual whether they prefer wearing gloves or not but ultimately, safety is still more important.

Just like wearing condom for safe sex. Well, as long as it's affordable & comfortable to you, why not wear gloves. Just dont bother what ppl think or say. Hands are yours & live the way you wanna live.
