All i wear is moto gloves

 

I have found it hard to find gloves that fit properly across my palm and finger width/length. I have a set of safety gloves from a previous job that are reflective and apparently have kevlar palm pads sewn in (see spec sheet) with leather. They fit perfect and are comfortable, so I don't ride without them. They are also machine washable so when they get gross they go in the washing machine (with other gross things like my coveralls).



I think you gotta find what works for you. I havent bought moto specific gloves because I havent found anything that fit better than these FOR ME, yet. I did spend a few 30ish min sessions in cycle gear every time I went trying on different gloves and nothing fit as well :shrug:

EDIT: I have never had to ride in the rain so these will likely not be the best gloves for that purpose as they are in no way water proof, and maybe only a little water resistant.

 

supposedly my tank bag shipped @uhplifted , but its coming through USPS, so Im screwed either way

I guess its guaranteed by Saturday, so thats better than Amazon..

 

Well... I’m back from my vacation.

 

I got my tracking number for my bags through UPS, no ETA yet though. They’ll probably lose the box though.

 

Ha. Welcome back

Honestly...no ones wife or ex .. will be mentioned again. Unless it’s mine.

 

Just got my 1K service done finally ... was a few hundred over 1K but got a solid price down at HB Harley. 440$.

Service was pretty helpful and nice. Ask for Johnny. Or Jim.

 

Why didn’t you wait for that motard

 

The Desert X looks pretty cool

 

That would be sweet to have one of each in the stable.

 

PSA for those of us happy to see the lads back together, there is a release date for Long Way Up. Sept 18th, but only on AppleTV+ (their pay service)

Livewire vs Zero for an ADV bike?

 

I love my Kreiga US20 tailbag. I use it all the time, and the overall quality of materials and construction is outstanding.

 

The desert x looks like a futuristic alien vs of the African Twin. I see the resemblance of the old Duc but if people are just getting into ADV now, I think that is what they will reference

 

Yeah, thought that odd too especially as Zero introduced the Black Forest DSR which would have been my choice. Guessing H-D was a heavy sponsor for this trip and really, really want to see the LiveWires succeed. Just noticed I don’t see sponsor stickers. Maybe H-D and Rivian are the only sponsors?

 

actually, it looks like both bikes are HD
