• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

HOW TO - WATERPROOF YOUR GLOVES -- FOR FREE

BLUEKNIGHT911

Sadly Passed Oct 2024 - RIP
:yes: ......Yes I went to Spyderfest to discover this neet trick .... I had a great pair of Deer skin thermal lined gloves that are warm ( even when wet ) but I didn't want them to get WET, because it takes awhile to get them dry, so while waiting in line for my BRAT at the BBQ ( :dontknow: ) .. I noticed the HUGH plastic gloves that the servers were wearing ( mandatory for food service folks ) ..... I asked if I could have a pair and received them :clap:.... They were an easy fir over my deerskin gloves and kept them dry the rest of the week ..... They won't last a long time but probably can be bought at Home Depot etc. in Paint supplies, I think they sell them there to keep the paint from your hands ... these might be sturdier ...... cheap instant fix :yes:..................

waterproof gloves

There is on the market a pair of nylon waterproof (and windproof ) gloves that have a thumb and two fingers that you wear over your gloves in the rain, or cold, that seem like they last forever. Mine are now 20 years old and work as well now than they did when new. They sound kind of freaky, and look that way too, but they really work, good luck to you too.

Here's a link:

:yes::yes:.....and those are priced at only $82 to $118 ...... :gaah:....Thanks , but I'll keep my free ones :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: ............. Mike :thumbup:
 
My hands were starting to get chilly the closer I got to SpyderFest, then the rain started. As soon as I could I went to Walmart and bought a box of blue neoprene gloves. Slipped them on over my riding gloves and my hands at least were dry and warmer the rest of the trip. The neoprene gloves seemed more tear-resistant than the white latex ones.

These work AWESOME...best I've had..kind of hard to have 100% watrproof gloves all that stitching just calls for a leak. Went with these covers after several years of using oversized rubber goves on top of ryding gloves. Then was told about the above...winner winner...
 
I use a set of Ogio covers, that I think I got from Dennis Kirk.
I'll often shed my gloves, and just wear them, when the weather starts looking a bit "Extra Humid"...
But if you want to go CHEEP: a pair of Wal-Mart shopping bags will also do the trick! :thumbup:

Wouldn't it just be cheaper to not wear gloves? That way you wouldn't have to worry about a little rain.

I don't mind rain ...... It's rain when it's 50 degree's at 65 mph.... that's what bothers me ..... and so far from all the comments I'm sorry I posted this.......... I posted this for when there aren't many if any alternatives ............ not to lure the RICH folks into SAVING money :gaah:..... I gave up trying to do that here a long time ago :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: ......... Mike :thumbup:

You know the plastic stuff you dip your screwdriver handles in to make them easier to grip. How about getting a pair of not to expensive gloves and dipping them in a can of that stuff. I think it's called plastic dip.
 
If your hands get wet, when riding turn "ON" the heated hand grips. Common sense!!! :lecturef_smilie::lecturef_smilie::lecturef_smilie:

Weather at times was in the 40s and pouring rain. Heated grips only helped a little. Keeping dry was key.
 
I think the reason for the thread was if your in a pinch and are on a budget the quick cheap fix was to use doctors gloves to keep your hands warm and dry..:shocked:

Flame on ;)
 
Mike,
that is what I was looking for when I was on my trip to Georgia just a couple of weeks ago when I got caught in a rainstorm. What a great idea! Thanks!
