And the winner is.....

After digging through tons of entries and much heated debate amongst the Icon staff, the winner of the 24Kt Bling Gloves is......


Hello fellow ICON friends.  I feel most deserving of your golden luminescent items of HANDware that appear to have fallen from two wheel heaven, because ever since I was a young boy in my village, I have done whats right.  Brought up by only the poverty stricken townspeople of a desolate city in eastern Bulgaria, I grew up with little luxuries.  Field mice provided nourishment for weeks at a time, and working in the mines was back braking.  When the slave traders decided to shut down the mines and burn the village, I felt my calling.  I rounded up a posse of my kinsmen and resisted the slavers.  We took up arms together, used what we had at our disposal, and took back our land.  In the final battle, I jumped on my motorbike and dashed after the lead trader, Trader Joe.  Sword drawn, I jumped at him.  He avoided me, and stabbed clean through my hand.  I recovered, killed him, and saved the town.  Had I the glory of your glove, I would not have sustained such a painstaking injury.  That is why I am most deserving of your glove.  I am a HERO.

The ride is all that

matters, some

may admire me for

slithering through traffic

or 

wonder if i

have a deathwish

for being so exposed 

to the elements...

i pay them no mind. 

the ride, and the Pasión 

for the lifestyle is all that

keeps me sane. knowing that

i can ride again the next day?

its the ICON in me that keeps 

a goon grounded.
