For some reason gloves only last me a year (around 10,000 miles). I
always wear a hole in the left glove, in the palm roughly between my
thumb and index finger. I notice the left grip is worn down too. I
buy good name brand gloves and don't move my hands around much
unless I'm in the twisties. Maybe it's the way I pivot my hand to
grab the clutch. Anybody else have this problem?

Yep. I figure a year is a good deal for a pair of gloves, and buy a
new pair.

A pair a year? What are you doing to those things, Tim? Shoot, I'm
still wearing gloves (one thin pair, one thick) I bought over a decade
ago. They're the only ones I ever wear while riding and they haven't
shown even a sign of wearing out or needing replacement. I even use
the thick pair for when I'm shovelling snow in the winter. Both are
good quality and made of leather, of course (else they'd surely have
worn out years ago).

One thing I've learned over the years is that people are different.
One person my have acidic sweat that attacks gloves and another person
may not. One person may operate the throttle or the front brake lever
or the clutch lever in a way that chafes a glove in just the right way
to wear it out in one small, localized spot, and another may not.
