    As an option

    you could always ride with one hand on the exhaust pipe then alternate hands to regulate the overall temperature.

    Heated bars would be great. Came home last night at 10.00pm and had to be chipped off the bike. Wuss's live in Auckland as well. Now that will generate some comment, wont it!

    Cool

    I've had heated grips in the past and didn't like them. I have small hands and they make the bars hard to hold. I also had to use a 'lighter' glove to feel the heat. Could be because I have poor circulation in the fingers.
    I now wear summer gloves year round and add 'rain-off' gloves when wet/cold, works for me.
    The internal bar warmers might be a good way to go. Be comfortable, makes for safer riding. Cheers.
    When you take thousands of photos of your bike does the light from the flash weaken the plastic?

    Wouldn't own a bike with out them... not sure how they would work on a scooter... 6v - 12v I think you can get 6v not sure.

    Anyway they make the ride more comfortable therfore more enjoyable...

    My brother has some of the oxford hot grips on his bike. So naturally of course i called him a pussy. However I ride to work at 6:15 am and wouldn't mind some, but i cant get any as a result of my loving brotherly comments
    While you sit there liking things just cos' everyone else does, I'll be standing up here keeping it real.

    I fitted some to my wife jog a few months back and she loves them, they are almost to hot for my liking but easy enough to turn off.
