This is a question I have wondered about for a while...it's related to braking, but not about how many fingers. For the last two years a bunch of the GP riders are hanging their inside leg off of the bike in parts of the track where I would expect them to be braking hard...how are they gripping the tank with one leg hanging off?

Held Phantom's have served me well...seem to handle the sweat well...but they are expensive. I had the Dainese Hellfires and they only lasted a year before the started to come apart. I have not had an off with either brand, so I can only say I prefer the Held's. I use leather conditioner made for expensive leather boots that seems to work well.

I did levels 1&2 this June at Barber...then I started practicing what I learned. I did cornering drills in a big high school parking lot on weekends and spent a lot of time thinking and riding. These shots are from a track day in October...the first time I had been back on a track since the school. Everything felt great, I had the confidence to go much faster and I had a blast. Thanks CSS for the training. Chuck
