I wore them , but not a lot. Maybe 25-30 times.

I kinda hate wearing gloves, but they were nice.

 

Scratch that. New plan.


Who needs gloves? You pay shipping and they're yours.


Just don't be a dick and take them straight to eBay. When you're done with them give them to someone else.

 

Are they streched to xl somehow?

 

How many hp?

 

Well, judging from my last bike against my current one, about -50 lol

 

So if they will fit my xl palm my bros will produce no power at all

 

The dude that is working with me for the GS1000C with the Bandit engine is in dire need of gear, if nobody else has spoken for them I'm sure they would fit him as my current gauntlets fit him pretty well and he's looking for gear on the cheap (helping him out with a helmet). His screen name is Edhurl.

 

If he is in dire need I'd be tickled to send them his way. Y'all can PM me where to send them.

 

Dire need is an understatement, he doesn't have a single bit of gear and was looking into super cheap used helmets (I'll give him a gently used brand name one for free before letting him buy a chinese lid) so I'm sure a good set of gauntlets would be a great addition to him becoming a street rider proper. Pretty sure I've got a decent riding jacket for him too.

Never had a problem with Teknic gloves myself either, even in a high speed crash where one hand was pinned under me sliding at pretty high speed they held up and my hands were fine, much to the amazement of the medical staff.


I'll talk to Ed today and PM ya, figure I'll have him try out a few pairs of gloves I have (cold weather stuff) and see what fits, just to be sure a Large is proper size for him.

 

I have a pair of A* boots here collecting dust. Size 45. They're a little big on my size 11.5 feet, which is odd. They aren't super protective, but they beat the shit out of sneakers. The shifter pad is in bad shape but the boot is fine. I'll get some pics when i get in this evening if that's something he'd be interested in.

 

I should mention. I normally wear a XL in gloves. The palm of these fit me perfect, but the fingers are a tad short. It kinda pulls the glove about 1/4" off my hand, if that makes sense.

It's like an XL palm with L fingers...just in case he has a set of prostate ticklers on the end of his paws.

 

Im guessing these would be very close to the right size, i wear large for most things. This thought in general is awesome, ratfighter has been looking out for me from the beginning, lol.

I wear size 10.5 boots though, i was planning on using my wolverine composite toe boots for riding. Im guessing if those arent adequate rat will point me in the right direction.

 

Hey Ed, I tried to put up a pic of the boots but it's not letting me for some reason.

They are older boots and the day Tech Road on them. They have a shanked sole and a armor disc under the leather on each side of the ankle, but otherwise just a leather boot. I'd call them 3/4 height boots. Rat may know what they by the name. The toes ain't really got anything going on protection. They're obviously an entry level boot, but available anyone who thinks they will fit.

Just let me know.



Edit. Just had a thought, and Rat may likely know the answer. Since the boot is quite a bit larger than the size should be, I wonder if they're designed to be worn with an inner booty that I don't have?

Did some digging and couldn't find the brand or model of boot, but they should fit snug (as I was telling Ed) due to the fact that any measurable movement can do more harm than good in the event of a crash.


I've always been of the mind my gear should fit like a second skin, if it's uncomfortable I'll try out a new brand and get what I feel works with me and not just something that feels like I'm the Michelin man. Even my race suit, as heavy and huge as it is on the closet hanger, feels like nothing when I'm wearing it on the bike. Same goes with my boots, gloves, and helmet.

 

Ed, I flaked yesterday, but I sent your gloves out today. I'll PM you the tracking number when I figure out where it ran off to.

 

Amen on tight gear. The guy who I bought my mesh jacket from tried like hell to get me to go up a size. lol. I cringe a little when I see armored jacket sleeves flapping in the wind

 

Obviously those guys havent hit high speeds.
