Re: Bloody cold hands!
I did 200 miles around the heart of Yorkshire mid to late afternoon on Saturday,had my base layers under my leathers and normal gloves and was toasty the whole trip,started to get chilly at around 5 but never had to resort to my heated grips or anything.

Thanks for the welcome mate and the info,I did warn the salesman that I'd be taking her for a decent spin,you can't tell anything from a wobble around the block Hopefully I'll cover plenty of fun filled miles and forget how good my Fazer has been.

Ex Fazer Thou man
Hi to all, came across an 04 plate VTR with 17000 on the clock this week at my local dealers,always fancied a V twin so on returning from a 70 mile test ride on the beast was impressed enough to trade in my beloved Fazer Thou. Take delivery next Wednesday when they've done a full service and fitted ...
