Oh I do have a negetive thing to say about the gloves. They aren't as good as they used to be. As you can tell from the pics, they don't have as many studs in the palms anymore and they don't use Pittard's leather anymore either. I'm not sure they're using Kevlar thread anymore because it's not yellow like it is on my other two pairs.

Honestly they look like they provide good protection, they are just a little "flashy" for my tastes, but there is nothing wrong with flashy.. Shit at least you wear gear, that's better than the pinheads who don't.

Oh yea, gear is fun! To be honest, I'll be joining the pinheads, at least for short cruises, here shortly. They're talking about 90s in a couple weeks here... I'm just about sorry I bought those leather pants already!

I used to wear short gloves too, because I didn't like how the gauntlet interacted with my jacket.

That is until I had my wreck in '03.. one of my gloves went MIA, and the other rode up and I still have a nice little scar on the back of my hand from road rash (on the hand that still had a glove). But whatever floats your boat...

Oh yea, I have scars on both wrists from crashes, but I'm not wearing full gauntlet gloves every ride.

You're a Ti Max whore!!

I've had mine since '04 and love them. The looks on people faces when they see them is worth the cost. Plus it adds to the Mad Max effect.

That's what I was thinking. Just flipping someone the bird could cause a major pile-up on the freeway when the sun reflects off your finger....
