I was locking up my workshop last friday night,my bike was leaning against the wall next to me with my helmet resting on the brake hood and my gloves on the saddle .
Along come two 15 year old boys and one says " Do you wanna by an MP3 player to listen to on your bike mate"
I replied " No thanks lads ! "
I turned around to see my gloves missing from my saddle so I added ..
" I will have my gloves back though "
Then right in front of me one of them drops the gloves from behind his back and says ..
" what you on about mate,there they are on the floor "
I just looked at him and said " Off you go then boys "
To which the guy who had nicked my gloves replied " you sure you dont want to buy this MP3 player mate"

At which point I told them they were on CCTV and they vanished !!

Then yesterday morning I rode past them on my way in and the little £$%"! waved at me and shouted " Alright mate !! "
Bloody Cheek !!

    Not sure anyone would want to take my gloves, given the current level of stink emanating from them.

    I lost a glove in the pub the other night. Only riding round the corner after so didn't put them on. I've done it before and bought the same gloves as replacements. I now have a matching pair of left hand gloves. Typical!
    Know anyone with 2 XXL left hands?

    What is it about right gloves? I lost one, bought a new pair exactly the same, then worn the right hand thumb out.

    Anyone else with two left hands, this time size large? :D

    +1. It reaches the point where even I can't stand putting them on. The washing instructions essentially say "don't wash" so I do them by hand. Must be joke there... Gloves - Hand wash only ? Maybe not.

    I don't get it? I've been using a pair of Knog Love-Hates for about a year. Every day (bar when it was below 0 and no discernible odour at all.

    Mine stink. Simon, do you wipe your brow or nose on them? I guess if not they probably wouldn't smell.
