[QUOTE="wardy, post: 141389, member: 16710"] [b]HA! and you thought offroad was teasing![/b] Thats right I have road without gloves for what better part of 20 years. Do I tell riders Hey you shouldn't wear gloves! NA . But everytime i hear riders complain about arm pump, or hand numbness, the first thing to look at is the fancy gloves they have on. Here is my reason for not wearing gloves. 1. I have a better feel for the motor and acceleration points. 2. I have a terrible problem with "monkey griping the bars" 3. Gloves always seemed to make #2 worse. 4. I have worked with my hands all my life, little nick here or there is common. (although rocks at maplehurst used to be a nasty sting!) 5. You won't follow another rider long if he is pelting you with boulders! remember i raced open class for a long time. So those are some of the reasons I have, plus I just got into the habit of not wearing gloves. Funny thing is I won't race without my chestprotector! go figure. Now do i recommend riders do this, no. But what i would recommend is if you are having hand or arm problems. then i would take off the gloves for a practice or maybe 1 moto to see if there is a difference. If so go and shop for a pair of gloves that won't restrict movement and aren't to tight! DOn't forget to tape the thumb knuckle.......or you will probabaly have a little blood loss. :think oh and hey the "mr lord" deal.......I aint that old yet! :cool: [/QUOTE]
