Kangaroo skin is reputed to make good gloves - haven't tried them and I may stick to motocross synthetics if I get any of that !

Oviously made from one of those poofy southern elk , Canadian elk are much more resistant to piss taking .
You have wonderfully clean skin pores by the way .

Hell Yes! I bought a pair of Roo Skin Gloves from GLF leathers at Flitwick and had the misfortune to take a slide at 95+mph using my hands (as ya do) to break my fall and 'steady' or try to as I slid along the tarmac on the A5D Southbound...... Dry day, no rain. Knackered bike, knackered leather trousers, knackered leather jacket & Knackered Lid!.....Roo Gloves??? just a scuff........tougher than a tough thing, I recccomend them.
at 125 quid they were not cheap, BUT that is peanuts compared to losing the skin on yer hands. Oh yeah, & they were as supple as silk, could feel everything, even rake in my pocket for loose change with em on.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
