HELP PLEASE (PIERCING ADVICE)

I come from a big big family of Harley enthousiasts (Grampa started it!) and my brother got a pierce more than ten years ago by a guy named Jack in Chicago it was a surface pierce of the flap of skin between his thumb and finger but he got it on his throttle hand. He had a lot of trouble with the pierce because it was on his throttle hand and I don't know if any of you ride, but the pressure on the pierce plus the vibration kept it red and pussy until he took it out finally. Anyway my brother ended up losing his hand in a stamp machine at the shop a couple of years back and I want to carry on the pierce but I don't want it on my throttle hand. Does anyone have experience with this? I want to heal it well enough to keep it so should I wear gloves all the time? I was thinking of maybe a rubber glove under my riding gloves to keep it from moving around too much. Help!

The shop around the corner had albums with a number of those piercings
represented. Thumb web deals. Not something I thought was long-term. Of
course, I've always been about the piercing as a short-term thing. With
the exception of my dermaled lobes which at 00 gauge are slightly less
than temporary. ;o)

Especially with the warmer than usual weather in central Pennsylvania
thanks to one very favorable jet stream!

Not cool.

Errgh! Much LESS THAN not cool.

Understandable as a tribute/tradition of sorts as well as from the
cyclist's perspective.

> Does anyone have experience with this?

Not me, but I'll still recommend getting a throttle rocker.

May reduce some of the problems associated with vibration and pressure.

Although I suggested a balaclava (elsewhere in this newsgroup) to
provide some protection from a full face helmet tugging at earrings, I
don't believe the rubber glove idea will help you at all. Better to let
the piercing heal than to squeeze it into tight gloves, imo.

Best of luck.

Anyone that uses a z instead of an s has no room to talk about trailers
or ghettos.

But then, you make those big bucks, don't you?

YOU ARE ~*NOT*~ CRITICIZING HIM FOR "CREATIVE" SPELLING! NO!

Get real, Kavin. You post more instances of misspellings and typos than
any ten RABbits. Or it certainly seems that way at first glance. Oh,
yez.

Tell me all you know about trailers and ghettos, Kav. Go! Time's up.

I'm guessing his car is WAY purdier than yourn'z. ;o)

Typo.

Correct, but never enough.
Sometimes it's quite difficult to choose between my Rolls Royce and my
Aston Martin DB9...

Are you saying it's cool that his brother lost his hand?

Uh, no.

But, yes, although I see the double-negative-confused-ness of that
statement, within the context of my post it's easy enough (hey, from my
perspective) to see that I meant "OH, NOT GOOD!" And even without that
context - the "Errgh!" above might have given a hint, yes?

Something along these lines:

<------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
much less than not cool, less than not cool, not cool, cool, greater
than cool, much greater than cool

Regardless, to the OP: I am NOT saying it's cool that your brother lost
his hand.

I'd have more respect for you if you said you were trying for irony.

Way to still parrot Curt.

And by the way, why aren't you criticizing your puppet over lack of
attribution, Curt?

Or his 'typo'?

But it WAS irony !
Although...the "Z" is directly beneath the "S" on the keyboard.
Could have been a typo...
Never mind.

BTW:
Thanks for your positive reaction on my post about my latest tattoo's..
What was I thinking to post something OT...

Maybe this will help:

Or, hey, you can just copy/paste whatever you'd like to comment on.

And you could simply make your comment without any of that. Unlike some
(dig Lori >:o)), I can handle some sketchy context without getting too
befuddled.

Oh, yeah, your "He still can't punch leftie," comment is definitely
something I can imagine both of my younger brothers saying about me
given those circumstances. I'm tempted to say either a) "Funny joke,
gotta _hand_ it to you!" or b) "Man, your humor has me _stumped_," but
I wouldn't want to risk someone criticizing me for inappropriate humor,
right?

Seriously, I know several riders who've lost legs but none who have
lost hands although I realize there are people who have overcome that
obstacle as well. I hope your brother is doing well.
