I met a guy who worked at the Honda dealership. I noticed his palms looked horrible, almost like he had received 3rd degree burns.
He told me he looped his R1 about a year ago wearing only “work out gloves” and a helmet. He landed face forward palms out and by the time his brain registered the pain, pulled his hands in and tucked, his hands were thoroughly exfoliated to the subcutaneous tissue.
But just one short year later his hands work fine (other then these huge blochy white spots on the palms). So I guess we can conclude gloves are not really “necessary”… Now if his hands had been amputated then I would say gloves are “definitely necessary”…
