Yeah loads. Most riders here would suggest getting a proper pair of protective riding gloves with sufficient hard padding to protect your knuckles and palms in case of a fall. But... Till you can find and finalise, get yourself a pair of ordinary leather gloves. They do protect to a certain extent (atleast from abrasions) and have tested them more than once :) How? Get to MG Road or Koramangala (in front of the Hutch Shop/ Foodworld on 80' road). Look for those guys selling wallets and other leather goods. They will have a pair or two of gloves for sale. Try out, and choose one that is a snug fit. Tight I mean, not loose/comfy. Will tell you later why. Then bargain and don't take for anything more than 90 or 100 max. Get home, pull out the soft furry liner from inside. Cut it off. Take out all of that furry nonsense! Wear it and ride! Will take getting used to. A couple of days. What is tough is the switches. But once you do... you can't take 'em off. My relatively new pair was stolen a while back (had left it in the fairing). So it was torture for me till I got a new pair Sunday before last.
