    Got cold fingies from ridin?

    when you get to traffic lights and/or have to stop else where, shove your hands down the sides of the fairings (on those that have them), just above the engine on the inside of the frame. Most bikes can, and the warm engine will give you a couple of minutes of warmth to get the feeling back in your fingers.

    Just be careful about where you stick your hands tho, don't want to be burning them on any pipes or pulling out any wires. Check when you next go to your bike to see where you can put them.

    And if you have gloves with 'knuckle' protectors on etc, make sure they don't get trapped anywhere, when you try to retract, last thing you want is a biker stuck at the lights feeling up their bike!!!

    Or you could buy a pair of winter gloves.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    ....or move to Darwin...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Get a v-twin, you can just lean back and put your hands on the cans, warms them up a treat and you get to stretch you back. Plus you can even do it on the longer downhills without stopping . . . not that I would ever do something as dangerous as that, no siree . . .

    the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.

    On my last decent ride the other weekend I wore latex gloves under my usual ones. Welly to Hawke's Bay and back in the pissing rain and no cold fingers. The only problem was the cheap "are you a gynaecologist or something?" quips from the service station people.

    Waiter said '' i do, when im in the kitchen''............ just a thought.

    Nah, even though mine's really huge, it doesn't reach quite that far, even when it's not soft. So I just use them for my hands. Plus my new Spidi pants are quite warm'n'toasty anyway, so my nether regions don't get cold.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....
