I have <a href="http://www.altrec.com/marmot/randonnee-glove">These</a> gloves that I use for bicycling. I am planning to use the same for motorcycle ..

I have very cold hands and feet

Thoughts ? Would these work, or I would need motorcycle specific gloves ?

The only problem would be if you ever fell. They may not be skid resistant. Otherwise, go for it.

I also wear ski gloves in really cold weather.

Those gloves won't do the job. Once your speed is up over 30 mph, the cold will seep in. Also, you'll shred your hands if you go down wearing those, they aren't armored.

Get some motorcycle specific gloves. There are electric gloves (check out Gerbings) or glove liners. You can even add heated grips to your current bike.

Hmmm ... I am going to the motorcycle store. Will checkout some gloves there.. See how they compare to the ones I have right now ...

Talk about letting your bike down ... Took it out for a spin as soon as I got the title ... Just run some errands around the town. Park it on a hilly street. Put the bike at a funny angle. Down it went

Scratched the front fender a little bit. O well ... Thats why used bike is better !

I highly recommend you buy a new pair of gloves, when it comes to bike it's completely a different ball game.
