junction heated grips and muffs take some beating for warm n toastie pinkies in the cold, i do 10 hours a day 5 days a week despatch riding in london so i think i have a little knowledge of such things. saying that i draw the line at snow/black ice no no no no and erm noooooooooooooooooooooooo lol

heated grips money well spent                                                                                                                                                                              

my BMW RS, with its  brilliant fairing and heated grips                                                                                                                                                                             

My K1200gt with fairing, large screen, wind deflectors, heated grips and seats, plus long johns and a couple of layers.                                                                                                                                                                              

Does everyone have mits over there heated grips. Iv never had any myself this year I finnialy got fed up of not been able to feel my hands by the time I got to work and brought some heated gloves. the putting all the cables in is a right pain.   But I couldnt see how the heated grips would keep my hands warm the air flows over the top, thats the bit that gets cold                                                                                                                                                                             

I tried bar muffs but couldn't stand them getting in the way in the rain, when you have to take your hand out to wipe your visor in traffic. Binned them.   Now fitted Barkbusters Storm S1s fantastic, not as warm as muffs but way more practical and look better! Barkbusters are brilliant to deal with too! If your bike isn't on their list (mine wasn't) contact them and they'll be as helpful as you could wish for!   I'd tried a couple of "universal" brands that I was assured would fit by dealers but wouldn't. Then found Barkbusters who were ace, the U.K dealer told me they wouldn't fit but Barkbusters in Australia said they would and they do! Crikey....I've gone on a bit!                                                                                                                                                                             

my   set of  gerbins heated clothing.  after about  2 mins  it feels like  your  emersed in a  hot  bath  from neck  to  toe . ive not  got  the  gloves  @£200 a pair . but  if  you can  keep  your  heart  warm  it  keeps  blood  pumping around  all  of  your  body  and  you  dont  get blood  loss from  fingers  or  toes  or  brain .  so  you  can keep  full concentration on the  road  to, very important even more  so  on wintry  roads. 

my Sarah.......simple                                                                                                                                                                             

awww sweet andy . but for me its me gerbing jacket and me muffs.                                                                                                                                                                               

still think it's best to leave the bike at home and go in car
                                                                                                                                                                             

yeah but if you need a blat out befroe you lose your mind..... even if its darn cold...
