"Can we keep it below 85 lads"

Post by Demannu »

As my heated socks get too hot!
As said by one of our group today in our 220 mile Rideout!
Me, thick pair of socks, silk inner gloves and an extra jumper.
Temps didn't get into double digits all day, Christ I was cold!
Don't think the Genny on the yam will deal with vest, grips and socks somehow!

I'm dreaming of heated grips at the moment. Well, heated everything!! LOL But I'll just stop riding in freezing temps and wait for spring :D :lol: :lol:

I fitted one of these under the side panel on the XADV it is linked to the battery via a 4 pin relay triggered by an ignition switched live tail light in my case. Powers fogs heated jacket heated grips and sat nav.

5C on the to work and on the way home tonight, heated gloves on medium and grips on medium (A27was quiet this morning, windchill may have been err excessive).

I honestly hardly ever get cold these days with heated vest and grips.

Usual day out on the bike this afternoon with students. Finally put the liner back in my Dainese textiles so just a t shirt and the textiles on with heated grips on half power. Lovely and warm for me and fortunately the students listened when told about wind chill and added an extra layer before setting out so only complaints were about cold hands

After 30 years of commuting all year round, i bought a heated vest. Brilliant bit of kit, keeping your core warm is essential.

Only 18°c here today, so not sure it will get much use until I ride to Austria in April.

I've only been telling people that since 1995 ;)

I bought one of the first batch of a dozen Gerbings brought into the country.
