In Spain they are going to make gloves compulsory too. Gloves are the second most important piece of gear after helmets, people just don't realize how easy is to break a finger or lose skin!
full gear no matter what
And I believe in Spain they have to be motorcycle specific gloves (not any winter gloves), and also it’s going to be only full face helmets, and not open face helmets?
Boots are more important than gloves
@@miquelcolet6946 the open face helmet ban is coming in a few months, they will only let you use open helmets inside a city. And yeah, the gloves have to be motorcycle specific as it should.
making anything compulsory is stupid
The question I have found that concentrates the mind of anybody not wearing gloves is "who is going to wipe your bum for 3 weeks while your hands heal?"
full gear all the time :)
@@MotoJitsu My kids both learned to ride at 16 on a 50cc scooter. I made them both wear proper gear. When they complained it was only a little scooter, I replied "when you are sliding up the road at 30mph, what you fell off is irrelevant."
This was with the weight of the hand alone, now imagine a full body of weight behind it...
I fell on asphalt from a standing position and my palm got holes in it.
Not hard to imagine.
exactly
You can't imagine how many people I see (especially during summer) riding their 150/200 hp bikes with shorts, flip flops and obviously no gloves.
f*ck around and find out is in their future
My friend is guilty of that i tell him all the time to wear full gear but he never listens
@@sleepyrasta14820 Well you can't do more than that.
Yet they tell you they been riding for 30 years.But can't do an 18' U-turn without duck walking.
Reminds me of "The Adams Family." They didn't treat "Thing" so badly though. Yep, the morons you see riding with bare hands. They think they're being tough...
✋🏼
Heated gloves are a game changer in cold climates ❄️
I'll test them someday
British summers 😂
As a furniture maker, and motorcycle rider PPEs are a must! I have a 20” disk sander, with a 40- grit abrasive it is the same as most road surfaces. I’ve been zapped by sanders and grinders. Little nicks over the decades, it is a painful experience. The disk-sander will grind hard oak away at an astonishing rate. Sliding down a road after a fall without gloves, NO THANKS! ATGATT. Just imagine holding your hand out and pushing it into a disk sander. 🤪
exactly!
Hey MotoJitsu, I passed my BRC this past weekend and rewarded myself with a used Kawasaki Vulcan S (your review is what ultimately sold me).
When I go for a ride I make sure to stop in any empty parking I can to practice low-speed turns/maneuvers. I also wear full gear(helmet, gloves, boots, padded jacket, etc)... I'm a much safer, skilled and confident rider because of channels like yours!!
Great to hear!
EMS people use a phrase ‘degloving’. It applies to both hands and feet. At speed with your momentum and weight when you put out your unprotected hands the skin begins to grind away, in the right circumstances the skin will peel back from your hands. Degloving them. This injury is common with inappropriate footwear as well. Skin just rips back like you’re peeling some crispy chicken skin. Often the removed skin is too damaged to reuse so you will experience having healthy skin harvested from elsewhere on your body to graft. Often grafts will become yeast infected. Not a pleasant smell, painful and can require a graft do over.
full gear all the time
In Brazil, USA, and some other strange places many riders think they got ECE rated bodies. Thanks for proving them wrong. Don't think they'll watch this, but hopefully some will understand that using gear is the cool thing.
full gear no matter what anyone says or thinks
Crashed once in over forty years of riding. It was totally my fault. I was wearing minimal protection at the time full faced helmet, gloves and leather vest). My hands didn’t get damaged because I tucked them into my chest and kept my arms folded. No idea why I reacted that way but I’m glad I did. Other than that, I had two fractured ribs and road rash on my arms and legs. I thinks that was in 2008. The nurse said I wouldn’t have walked out of the hospital had it not been for my helmet.
Here’s the point… Since then, I’m in full gear no matter what because of that experience. Too bad I wasn’t smarter back then.
Thank you for your videos, Greg. I hope others learn from your wisdom and not from their mistakes.
you're welcome
I've been preaching the glove issue for years. Some people just don't get it.!! Lately I've seen videos saying that body armor is virtually useless in a crash. I choose to dress for the ride, but also for my own unpredicted getoff. People laugh when I mention my Helite Air Bag. I'll be grinning as they are being hauled to the hospital because they're too cool to dress as I do. Ride your own ride.!! 👍👍5🏍🙋♂️
full gear no matter what...try jumping off a bicycle with a sweatshirt and jeans on and see how much that sucks, let alone crashing a motorcycle going 5 times the speed.
These are exactly the kind of videos we need. Kudos to you for all you do to positively represent all riders while promoting safe (and fun) riding. 😊
Love the hand 😂 and the idea of burrying it in the grass 😂😂😂😅
😂
I’m very new to motorcycle but as a skateboard/longboard ride I’ve learn this lesson so many times. Asphalt skin rushes are terrible to heal. So since them I’ve learned to enjoy my gear, it’s way better spend on good gear for when the unexpected happens I can go through with the minimum damage. I simply can’t imagine riding a motorcycle without gear, but it’s my opinion. Tysm for sharing so much knowledge over n over. God bless u, ride safe n enjoy 🫡
You’re going to love the Fortnine video about not wearing pads.
Also, great videography with the hand different places in between cuts! Pretty cool and interesting
I don't watch his videos but if you decide to stop wearing armor because of what a youtuber says, you're pretty dumb
@@MotoJitsu Especially when he says twice to wear the armour, even if it's the shitty consumer kind. He recommends wearing real armour like Dainese pads and Rukka's D3O XTR. That's why they won't let you on the track with yellow sponges tucked in your jeans. There is nothing wrong with calling out the industry for unsafe gear that is 1/4 as strong as horse-girl (his words) gear.
track riding is almost always full leather suit unless it's not really a track day and just an event on a track.
I'm a Racer glove fan. I had the ones that bonded the pinky and ring finder. Those bit the dust a few years back. I'm now rolling on the standard Racer leather gauntlet.
😂 I love that you had fun editing this one. The hand teleporting was hilarious 😂
😂
Glad this video came out as I was debating this a bit. Totally agree with wearing gloves now the only thing is when I first started I had issues with the friction zone-and when I would go ride with gloves it put me more in danger than when I didn’t wear them - I felt more nimble, the bike wouldn’t stall, I didn’t have fatigue from needing to grip it tighter to get the “feeling” right on how much throttle and clutch I was easing out. Now I can wear them, however in those first few formative rides of getting to understand the basics of riding it was more of a hindrance in my development and risk than when I didn’t. As this channel boasts though it took practice using them and I tried several types, costly but also way more costly if I lose my hands lol!
debating wearing full gear or not? how's that a debate?
@@MotoJitsu Haha-you’re right and I am more confident and better off now with the gloves I use especially on highways with crazy debris flying at my knuckles. I always look back introspectively on this same question and admittedly if it weren’t for me risking it at first by not using them in my formative days of understanding just the basics, it was - at least in my experience-more of a liability as it placed me in greater danger than if I did wear them. I had full gear everywhere else it was just the gloves that took adjusting for me, tried all kinds of riding gloves and soon as I would go home to practice with them my feel for the bike went to zero. It just took more practicing in a safe environment with them ON.
@marcoscramos5117 - When you are learning to ride you're also more likely to fall... People are able to adapt quickly, and wearing gloves should not be such a hindrance to proper control as you've depicted it. If you're riding 'at the edge' where your ability to control the throttle, clutch and front brake is so critical that a layer of pigskin on your palm can mean the difference between dropping your bike, or taking a corner safely or too fast, then maybe you should slow down a bit, rather than choose to remove safety gear because it may slow you down... Practicing releasing the clutch several times before taking your bike on the road or trail will give you a good feel for the friction point, whether you wear gloves or not. Sometimes your impediments are more in your head than in reality...
@@garymaclean6903
Very true it is a very mental thing - in fact that was the greatest hurdle for me was realizing it’s ok to feel so exposed. Funny how that works. Naturally I was also doing this within my own means I wasn’t going to add more risk than I ready was.
2:55 Not to bad :D ? I once feel done with bikecycle without gloves, could barely use a computer for two weeks and had to take painkillers. It is really good that you make that video. I see way to many people ride without gloves.
Good stuff. Thanks!
I broke my left hand pinky when I was 12yrs old on a 78 Suzuki RM 80, trying to jump some trash cans. I was wearing what passed as MX gloves at the time. Took multiple surgeries to get it right. And when it is cold, so many years later, it still hurts like heck.
Nice vid as always Eddie, I would love to have seen the same tests on the other fake hand but while it was wearing your Race Line gloves.
- Riding my bike without gloves would be like not wearing a helmet, thankfully it rarely happens here in Ireland as the weather reminds you first.
thanks, share it!
I really enjoy your channel. Thank you for the videos.
Glad you like them!
I used to only ride in a helmet. You are a huge reason why I ride in full quality gear. I wear alpinestars smx gloves and their sp8 gauntlets.
That is awesome!
why do I keep thinking about the Adams family while watching this...lol But this is a great video. Im glad you put that out. And for pointing out the other top things to know at the beginning... good stuff.
Thing!!! lol yes, full gear every time you ride...no exceptions.
@@MotoJitsu agreed. Better to sweat a little than bleed a lot. ATGATT. all the gear all the time. !
Hi there, I just subscribed to your channel & got your app to improve my riding skills. I'm a complete beginner white belt, I'm 16 & just got my very first bike (Yamaha Mt 125), so I'm very exited to learn from your amazing content & improve massively. 💪💪💪
thanks
Slid out in mud during an Adv training course last month and landed hands down on rocks. Got a small scuff on Klim Baja S4 gloves and not a scuff on my hands. Good gear is worth it!
Very handy information to have... I feel like you shouldn't have to point this out, but let's keep our fingers crossed that these knuckleheads will take the advice put on some gloves... Most of them won't lift a finger even though it's such an easy safety measure. Thanks Moto, you are really working your fingers to the bone to keep the community safe! 😁
I get a lot of emails over the years saying how my videos inspired them to wear better gear
My cousin instead of getting her drivers license, she wants motorcyle license. First thing I did, send my aunt a link to your youtube channel. Think you are the best place to start for saftey.
❤️👍🏼
Yeah, left my gloves under the seat once, Felt kind of stupid. Luckily it was a short ride. Can you do a video on how effective body armor is? Anyway, your videos are always good. Thx
Loved the video Thumbnail!
thanks :)
Whats your opinion on palm sliders? Are they necessary? I see the Lee Parks don't have it. Thanks!
I have both. I crashed with the lee parks gloves with no damage...and I have others that do have it.
Depends on the landing. If you land palms first, no slider means you risk breaking the scaphoid bone as the glove can 'grab' the floor but you carry on over the top.
There are videos that illustrate the problem.
The Lee Park gloves are fantastic.
3:54 Thing!
THING
Thank you. You are very versed
We have a rule when riding: All the gear, all the time.
yes!
I ride a road bicycle also which goes at around 20 mph fairly slow compared to motorcycle. But skin on hands get all torned out badly when fall don't want to find out what happens at 60 mph or up. Maybe you can do comparison with a hand with a glove on.
I don't know why people don't wear protection gear! It's one of the few ways to wear armor in public and feel like a knight without people judging you or looking at you weird. The feeling is amazing!
your best thumbnail sofar 😂
Hey, do you ship worldwide? I live in Norway. By the way your videos are great! Helps me as a newbie upcoming motorcyclist a lot!
I don’t ship anything
Holy....if I had your money I'd burn mine(all them gloves) :) I do have a couple of deerskin gloves I always wear. I do know what you're saying about being inside , when I was growing up...pure torture that was!!
Thanks for the vid, be well !
glad you liked the video
Hahahahahaha- Love the thumbnail!
lol thanks
I took a 300’ slide down the highway after hitting a deer while doing 75. Even with full riding gear I suffered road rash. My glove got pinched under my bar end for a split second before I could push myself away from my bike mid slide. It still ground through my glove and took my pinky right to the bone. Dress for the slide, not the ride!
exactly
This all seems very scientific….. very scientific.
sure is
The results of a couple of full body dummy slides at highway speeds I believe would be interesting to see.
Firstly with full gear, then with only casual gear (shorts, singlets etc.) that a lot of riders seem to like.
sure MotoJitsu.com/donate full body's are like $10,000
@@MotoJitsu I didn't realise they were that expensive, well then I guess it's no longer that interesting.
If I had that sort of money I'd probably buy another bike.
What kind of gloves would you recommend?
watch the video
My bad. I thought you were going to throwing that hand around for 11 minutes lol@MotoJitsu
i just had a fall yesterday thank you gloves and leather suit,didnt felt a thing=))) got my bike up and continue ridding haha
The worst part if both hands are jacked up would be your unability to wipe your own ass.
yup and everything else
I crashed on a parking lot testing my friends dirt bike. And the kevlar on my gloves were worn down. So im really happy i had gloves on.
yup...full gear no matter what
🎵SHAKE HANDS WITH DANGER 🎵
I love those Motorosa Gauntlets. Great quality for the price.
yes!
I'm in Scotland I have summer and winter gloves even our summers are a bit cold at times i couldn't imagine not wearing gloves I'd not be able to feel my fingers after 10 minutes of riding
full gear no matter what!
Thanks Greg. I’ll be searching for better gloves now. Will the hand become a cat toy now?
It's hanging out on top of my fridge next to the ballistic head I used for the previous videos.
I get a similar discomfort when I see people riding with no gloves as I do when I see someone messing with a gun that has no clue about guns...you just know things are gonna go real bad one day for that person.
I bought the SUMOs off your recommendation and absolutely love them.
yup...lots of dumb people out there.
thanks! I love mine too
thoughts on goat skin gloves? see a lot of the manufacturers using that now.
never heard of goat skin gloves
He’s creepy and he’s spooky, he’s Fast Eddie, diddly dum, diddly dum , diddly dum 😂
ahhahahaha
Full gear even if it’s baking hot. You can buy new gloves, you can’t buy new skin or fingers.
weather doesn't determine what you wear! Full gear no matter what
Moto jitsu your right and i have the new nox gloves there amazing always wear gear ⚙ love your videos
👍🏼 🧤
Been riding with full gauntlets, winter or summer. No excuses
Good idea
My gloves helped me the other day. I was taking a left turn onto a main road and low sided the bike. Without gloves (or gear for that matter) I would’ve gotten hella road rash.
full gear all the time
I was close to some triple digits speeds on the highway and some black object or bug hit my finger. I immediately thought what if I wasn't wearing full leather gauntlets.
👍🏼
Many people don't wear gloves claiming they "lose sensibility" and yeah, you lose quite a bit of sensibility and it's a weird feeling if you've always ridden without gloves. Me, on the other hand, ride with gloves ever since I started so to me it's weird to ride without gloves, lol.
that's just an excuse stupid people say to justify not wearing gloves
Yup, I'm wearing gloves 100% of the time; have damaged my hands enough through my life.
Went into Cycle Gear and they helped me find the best-fit for me. Most of the gloves didn't fit my wide palm well, but the employee knew that Sedici gloves tended to fit a bit larger in the palm and he was spot-on, they fit great! Highly recommend going into a store to get gloves that fit you well.
smart!
ATGATT no matter how hot it is. I used to live in SD but moved to Texas. The number of people I’ve seen here wearing almost nothing riding around. Add the fact that there is a no helmet law here for 21 and over. I cringe everytime I don’t see gear.
crazy
Dude that dummy hand moving around your body is freaking me out lol😂
✋🏼
You should never save on safety, only the best can make a difference, I went from Alpine Stars (which is good)? To KLIM.
Well protected and comfortable are imperative for the dedicated Biker.
every brand has cheap and expensive, better quality gear including KLIM
Scaphoid protection is also worth mentioning. A fracture can keep you off the bike for 8-12 weeks.
full gear al the time
Scaphoid break is no joke. Did mine on a pushbike. Wrecked most of my arm too and couldn't straighten it for three months. One of the worst pains I've felt.
HEY!!! There is some guy out in the parking lot playing frisbee with a severed human hand!!!
😂
I'm amazed at the number of riders I see without gloves, no brain no pain.
👍🏼
"cleaning your chain while the bike is running"
aka touching a chainsaw blade turned on
In my experience, wearing gloves when you come off means the difference between kicking the bike straight and riding home or a visit to hospital to patch up your torn-to-the-muscle palms.
yup
I always ask learners if they've ever fallen over on the road or concrete and if it hurt and if they lost skin..... Then ask them to imagjne doing it at 60km/h and sliding down the road rather than walking speed....... 🤷♂️
I had to keep stopping the video because every time the video was cut you moved the rubber hand and it kept making me laugh so hard I couldn't pay attention. As always great video. ATGATT.
lol
Last year, i triped and fell on gravel. Broke my pinkie, i bought the best glove i could right away. My old one wasn't terrible but not enough for sure.
apparently people never crashed on rollerskates or skateboard
Most of us have fallen off bicycles & we were always ramping ours as well so Yeah, our hands took whatever abuse dictated along
w/ our knees & every other part that hit. I incurred a 6 inch round scab on my shoulder blade & arm. It was fairly deep & I fell asleep
to wake up ripping the whole scab off = stuck to the bed. Ohh Yeah buddy. Growing up is fun
Hi , Ian from England. 10 months ago a two ton pickup pulled in front of me whilst riding at 50mph. The result a beautiful GSXR1000R totally destroyed, plus my right hand. I had the best gloves money can buy. The trauma consultant said if I hadn’t been wearing decent gloves I would have lost my hand. Ten months on I’m still in physiotherapy, have been unable to work , will possibly lose my job. I’m not here to lecture but I’ve been to hell and back. I will ride again as god is judge. Ian.
Full, quality gear all the time no matter what 👍🏼
Love the mischief hand that pops everywhere 😄
It was on the move!!!
You make me want to do two things, practice more and move back to San Diego. Only a fool rides without gear
whatcha waiting for?
@@MotoJitsu just watching Thing get destroyed 😝 I can’t ride in the Dr.s office.
I wish the insurance company would get on board. Maybe give a better rate for those who wear gear.
full gear no matter what incentives/insurance/etc.
I wear shin high tactical boots, klim Dakar pants with knee, hip, and tailbone padding, klim induction jacket with shoulder, forearm, elbow, and back padding. Ls2 3/4 to full face helmet. I refuse to wear gloves. I know it won’t be pretty if I ever go sliding but the gear doesn’t guarantee much either. You may not get road rash but your bones may still all be broken and internal organs all ruptured. Gear is great but it doesn’t always save your life.
Who said it will always save your life? Gear reduces injuries not protects against all
@@MotoJitsu brother I was just leaving a comment for the people in the comment section to see what I thought; not that my opinion matters anyways. I wasn’t arguing with anything you said
And I'm responding to your comment to what you said at the end
Most common fracture is to the scaphoid ,takes a long time to heel .
full gear no matter what
This is why gloves with palm sliders are the right choice.
An other good brand is the Knox brand from the UK.
lots of good stuff
The way I look at it is like putting your hand on a belt sander and if anyone has had the experience of slipping with one and catching themselves will know what that does to your hands.
exactly
I went down in a parking lot going no more than 25mph, and my leather gloves and riding pants and jacket were tattered and scuffed. I will never ride without full gear.
Smart
I don't where full gear for safety (I don't care about my life). I wear full gear because it just is more comfortable when riding fast, because it keeps the wind off you and gives your body a little bit extra stability.
good luck
It’s funny. I live in Denmark and I only seen one guy in shorts and t-shirt, the rest is using gear. But in the US it looks like more people ride without gear than with gear. I don’t if that’s the “cool” thing to do in USA?
I always wear gear. If I go down my body will hurt enough, and I don’t need to add missing skin and flesh to it.
Not to mention the weight of the body when impacting the ground. Thanks 🙏
yup, it'll be far worse than this
it would be better if you use different hand for each test to see different results for comparison and a close up shot for each for us to see it clearly just a thought
You get the point
Obligation to wear gloves since 2016 in France. Mandatory equipment for riding on public roads: gloves and helmet. In addition, to obtain your motorcycle license, you must take the exam with approved motorcycle shoes or boots. Personally, hot or not, I also wear Kevlar pants, a jacket with a back protector and an airbag. Safety first. Afterwards, skills are just as important as clothes to anticipate the reactions of others and control your machine. As for destiny, unfortunately we do not have the power to influence it, but anyway, we must live ! 😉
full gear no matter what :)
@@MotoJitsu Here, we say: “a drawing is worth a thousand words”. I loved “The Thing” for making people aware of the importance of equipping themselves. Thank you Greg for the time you spend to propose contents for changing motorcyclists minds and perhaps saving lives. This video should be required viewing! 😉
My main gloves are a z1r pair i got with first scooter purchase in 2012. Never washed getting a little tacky lol. Found a mesh set on clearance. Real tight realized they are womens gloves. Some other cheap keni moto mesh pair got on Amazon. Ok but stiff. Probably should get another couple pairs when have extra money. But that never comes and more important stuff needs first like glasses.
full gear no matter what
@@MotoJitsu mostly always have. First few years rode wo pants.
I fell last week and got away with it with just a bruised knee all thanks to my helmet and gloves. if it wasn't for them i would have shaved my beard on the asphalt, peeled my hands and sprained my wrist.
Lmao quite the test here..
sure is
I high sided 7 years ago doing about 40 with a half dome helmet. Right side my face got cut by piece of plastic threw my cheek an hit my teeth. Looks like huge zoro z on my face going from under my eye, to my nose, to my chin.
I do hope to ride again this summer. Just need couple more thousand to get bike I want
Ouch
You gotta treat your bike like a lady. No glove no love..😂
full gear no matter what
I’m tempted to share this with the dude who mocked me as a ‘little girl’ and told me to shut up and stick to my Vespa 😅 but figured he may get upset. 😢😢
LOL 2:14
hhahahah do it
Proper gear will give you the best chance of escaping injury and finishing the ride successfully.
yup
