actually heated grips.
Always thought they were a bit naff to be honest but they came with the new bike.
First chilly morning today and could feel it through my gloves so though what he hell and switched the grips on.
absolute bliss and helps keep your fingers from getting stiff so a massive from me.
also had an idea about getting some stickers made up that could be stuck on muppet cars / vans etc
3 types:
1. Mobile Moron: for those using their phone.
2. Mirrors aren't just for decoration: self explanatory
4. Indicators are not optional: ditto
maybe colour code them so that as a public service to other bikers if you stick it on the rear so that when they are approaching are warned of the offending motorist in advance.
just need to find a way of making them easy to peel off with gloves on . ____________________ (L)users...Disk space is to good for them.

What brand grips are they? After two shivery numb-handed winters riding I'm thinking of some. ____________________ CBR125|||GSXR400|||CBR400|||CBR400|||CB250RS|||GSXR750|||CB250RS

I was cocking freezing this morning on the motorway. I think a heated jacket liner would be a good investment this year, plus some heated gloves perhaps. So expensive though  ____________________ '07 Triumph Speed Four

not sure i'll have a look and see if there are any markings on them however they look fairly cheap and cheerful with a basic 3 way switch. off, warm and ice age
well worth getting and wish now i'd got them last year as well. even though we dont exactly get arctic conditions.
i prefer being able to wear my standard leather gloves which give plenty of tactile feedback compared to my winter gloves that feel like you are gripping the bars through a pillow. ____________________ (L)users...Disk space is to good for them.

as long as it leaves no trace then its better than the "kick the wing mirror off" mentality.
