    i love my heated grips.
    A universal dream of greatness is that
    We push ourselves to the limit
    Yet still be brilliant when the chips are down.
    Sometimes , The struggle kills the dream.

    In my most recent iteration as a motorcyclist my first pair of gloves were Held Steve. (As a matter of interest whatever happened to Mr Steve Jenkner 125cc World Champion of a few years back after whom the gloves were named?)

    I also have a pair of Held supermotard gloves whatever they are called, and a pair of their Gore-tex arctic type gloves which I cart round with me on trips in the fond hope that they won't be needed.

    The screen wiper on the finger on all of these is a big plus.

    I also have a pair of Spidi which are a bit warmer than the Steve gloves and which I use for commuting on frosty mornings. They are almost ideal but for the lack of a wiper.

    There are also some cheaper options which seemed bargains at the time but these don't get used.

    If I could only have one pair of gloves I'd probably go with the Steve (or the much more expensive Akira(?).

    There's an upper age limit in 125GP now. Forcibly retired due to age.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Interesting. One might imagine that a rider good enough to win a 125 title could be worthy of a ride in the 250 class.

    National politics do play a part in all this, which is thought by Brit journos to be why Hoffman still gets a start. Even so the starting grid isn't exactly full of Germans.

    I got a pair of Ixon Pro Tour gloves a while back.

    The dog got ahold of my old winter gloves so a new pair were needed immediately.

    So far they've kept my hands warm and dry in some pretty filthy weather, last weeks hailstorms being a pretty tough test.

    For $150 I think the value for money factor is good.

    My only complaint is that the cuff is huge - too big to go under my jacket sleeves.
    this hasn't really been a problem as water tends to run off my jacket before it reaches my gloves but I think on a long trip with sustained rain it could be an issue.

    I bought a pair of Belstaff winter gloves when I bought the Ducati - in the UK. Brilliant gloves - keep my hands warm enough for my fingers to still work - even when riding with several inches of snow on the roadsides... Far too hot in the summer tho - but that's what summer gloves are for...

    A few years back, Wellington M/C's were supposedly selling them - dunno whether they still are...

    After freezing my fingers with summer glubs over the past few years, SPIDI H2Out Nordic glubs are the bees-knees!
    Pricey, but quality stuff.

    My Spidi Sport Comp H2Out are great (apart from being slightly tight - they didn't 'give' as much as I expected).
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    My Clovers performed admirable in the egregious conditions that typified the middle half of this year's Grand Challenge. I'd score them 8 out of 10.
