Haha true but then who's left that aint got them !! And being a roll yr own smoker it adds more excuse to do it !

Do what Bill? I really hope this isn't another heated grip thing.

Looks like the R detector uses SFA as well 425 mA , gessing here, that stands for f..k all as it only has a 1 amp fuse in line !
Will double check with manufacturers specs to see if they post a limit on what ya can drain

Don't do it Bill! Think about the environment and the carbon footprint you leave!

Thought about it !
Your right, i'll stop every 100 k from now on, chop down a tree, light a fire and throw a tyre on it, to warm my hands by !

Thicker gloves perhaps?

[yod]

The advantage you have, of course, is last week they were just for soft, old riders but now I have a set they are fashion statements of manhood.

how did i know you were gonna say that?

[sinfull]

Thicker gloves perhaps?

Perhaps not the sugested gloves, but think leather ones would work better than the existing ones !

Fair enough Bill. I'd actually like to hear about the heated grips from someone with a naked bike. I spoke to Larry from Anza a few weeks ago and he reckoned they didn't work too well on a naked.

Oh god, I feel so inadequate now. I think I'll rush off down to the bikeshop right now and camp outside till opening tomorrow morning

Carefull about the smugness re knees,mate fell of his bike back in 1986 week before queens birthday,was told he was to young for knee replacement and was only 23,the docs tried different things as the knee would need renewing every 15 yrs or so if replaced before 30 or so.They were happy to do it if he was late 40 or so,he's coming 45this year.Cold days he has a wicked limp till the knee warms up,not good as an electrician in ceilings on knees as well.
