Was looking for a new pair of gloves for quite some time now as the right middle finger on the H-D gloves has become uncomfortable when I cover the front brake. I did a temporary solution which was soaking the gloves in warm water, wear the gloves while performing daily activities until they dry in hopes of stretching them a bit. This method did work for awhile then it would require another round of treatment.
Not sure if this is due to leather + humidity which shrinks the gloves or I got the glove a size too small to begin with. When I first tried them on, it fits but after one ride in a slight drizzle the gloves started to be uncomfortable.

| Tear at cuffs for both sides of the gloves |
There is a tear on the cuffs at both sides of the gloves. This could be my doing as I tend to hold at that spot while putting the gloves on. No choice as the gloves are a snug fit and they did not make a tab for me to pull to put on the gloves.
Was supposed to visit some motorcycle shops around the island window shopping for riding apparels but somehow that was not the case for who knows why. There was also a plan to visit MegaBike Taiping which is a 45 mins drive but when I have the time, they are closed. To me it is either bad timing or not meant to visit them yet.
An opportunity arises when I had to over to the mainland for work and since I was there, I decided to stop by a few shops to have a look. Originally planned to stop by Guan How but remembered about the Benelli @ CK Motoworld along the Juru highway so did a pit stop there.

| Brixton bikes on display |
The first thing which greeted me was the line of Brixton motorcycles lined up at the front with some Keeway and pre-owned Benelli TRK 501. They mainly have the TRK 501's and the Brixton 150 on display in the shop. They also sell riding boots, jackets, headscarves, LS2 helmets (full range I think), gloves and accessories.
I was surprised with the prices of their gloves. Most are between MYR 30 - MYR 150. The salesperson came up to us and asked him if they have XXL road use gloves and he got me a pair to try on. I saw another glove on the rack which looks and feels nicer than the one I had on.
When he saw that glove, he warned me that the glove is expensive. In my head, I was thinking that it can't be as expensive as the A* gloves I saw during the Honda roadshow event which was MYR 415. Tried it on and found it more comfortable than the ones I had on and the deal was sealed. I also got a few head wears from the shop as it was cheaper than the Buff head wear. Now I can rotate my head wear and don't have to worry about it being not able to dry before the next day.
