Off Topic » Black Friday / Cyber Monday

For a world beset with supply chain problems, I can't seem to delete the emails fast enough from every online and brick & mortar retailer that I've ever dealt with. I'll admit, I'm not trying to buy a car/truck and I've been waiting since early summer for a size XL Shoei RF-1400 in White, but someone (actually, a lot of someones) seems to have a lot of stuff they want to sell me........

I would buy a pair of summer gloves at the right price as I am down to 1 pair but it seems these fantastic deals are only available in XXXXXS or XXXXXL.

I've given up and will buy on impulse from a real store some time in the future as they will fit properly.

I've pretty much given up on MC gloves. I've found a company that sells all-leather (cowhide) work gloves with a velcro wrist strap. I ventilate, as necessary, with a set of leather punches.

All gloves sold here for motorcycle use must have a CE mark (the UK adopted all of the CE approvals after leaving the EU) although not mandatory to use them. In France it is mandatory to use CE gloves.

I would rather not upset a gendarme if stopped for a misdemeanour in France and certainly would not want to give an insurance underwriter a reason to reduce, delay or deny a payout after an incident.

I guess I'm a 'weenie' ;). I wear full ATTGAT
My Held summer gloves have perforations and are quite nice- you might look into them as an option? Not cheap, but very effective.

In the US, you're considered a weenie if you wear more than a "Doo Rag". Different worlds.

That's a little bit of a stretch, to say the least. Might be a local geographical thing, but overall, nationwide, it's a stretch. LOL

No, they don't seem to be overly built...that's actually one thing I like about them. My Steve gloves have double leather and grommets on the palm. My summer Held gloves have knuckle armor and double leather in the palm. Putting it in 'risk and exposure' context- I expect that, if I crash, I'll slide on my palms and knuckles, not on my fingers.

A helmet in the Midwest is pretty rare. Even down South, the "DOT" Beanie is the typical......

I always got a kick out of the H-D tough guys that would ride around wearing a steel WWI German helmet with the spike on the top. For some odd reason, all of those guys seem to have disappeared. I wonder why?
