that was an old pic...

those gloves are gone... stolen w/ the bike.

How, were they left on/in the bike?

Also, I don't think that a GSX rider should be allowed to wear those kind of things, only those who ride Ninjas should be able to get away with that!

i stuff my gloves inside my helmet and my helmet was attached to the helmet holder of the bike.

i don't leave those anymore on the bike... but then again, i don't really use my bike as a daily commuter anymore... i just use it mainly for joy rides.

i still rack up a lot of miles though, my gas bill is so high.

and i used to do martial arts, specifically japanese swordsmanship... i can't afford it anymore when i bought a bike so i stopped.

that's a real high quality sword and not a cheap stainless wall decor. we cut targets every month. it's not just for show.

as one who grew up in southeast asia, and practiced the nifty art of bladed combat - I appreciate good blades - and they ain't cheap. Practicing said art requires a lot of discipline, without it you lob off your own hand/arm/leg/foot.

Verm, giving you the benefit of the doubt - if you intently studied martial arts, learned, and grew with it - apply that same discipline to your motorcycling. Your GSXR is every bit as sharp as good steel, and will kill you just as fast if you underestimate it, or over commit yourself.
