Something new every day.

Post by Sparkey »

Completely off topic here.

Riding my motorbike in current cold weather the tips of my hands were getting very cold and almost blue after about 1 hour. I have the best gloves you can buy and even wear a pair of inner gloves but not much better result.

Have avoided but now finally given in and got Electric Hot grips fitted and absolutely bowled over with the results.

Little control unit fitted on handlebars which allows you to turn on and off. A selector allows you to change temp from highest to lowest setting.

Brilliant and why did I not get before. :mrgreen:

That sounds just like what a bike rider needs in the cold weather, Now if you can get a heated suit and helmet plus insulated boots you will be ready for the next cold snap. :D

Do they make snow blowers with hand warmers? If not, it may make for a good invention.

Turns out that they now make them. They come with the more expensive throwers as standard.
