    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Ladies Gloves

My eldest received her 16th birthday gift about 6 months early today (more on that to come later once we have it actually on the property but it is a GS;)) and so we need to upgrade some of her gear. She'll be getting a new helmet in the next few months as her current one is becoming too tight. But I'm unsure of what sort of gloves to get her. Does anyone have good suggestions for ladies gloves or are they pretty similar to the men's in fit and protection?
 
Best thing would be to take her in to a local dealer and try things on. Gloves are not something you can buy on-line, I don't think. They need to be test fit. Awrong size can be hell and super annoying on a ride.

I'll fitting kit can be more than annoying, it can kill you. all your attention should be on riding not on the gloves that are chaffing or pinching. Just saying.
 
Female hand shape is a little different, so it does need to be a ladies' glove. Other than that, I would think you'd just get her the same protection you have, or better. Like spyug says, you have to go try them on. Even doing that I've had a pair or two I learned to hate.

Ain't that the truth. Even small men's gloves don't fit well and I used them for years simply because it was hard to find ladies riding gloves back in the 80s.
 
Thanks all; I had planned to go out to Iron Pony over the next few months and get some for her but wanted to know if there were any differences I should think of.
