Thanks for all the replies, still haven't got to grips with posting a pic so i'll have to reveal the colour verbally. It's orange. Very orange . Like David Richard and Donald Trump together on a bad day. But hey I like it. Pics soon, hopefully. What's the opinions on heated grips? Like to try and keep riding through the winter, but as old age creeps up, circulation isn't what it used to be. Like my gloves that i bought a couple of years ago, so a bit reluctant to buy new heated gloves. Been sugested heated inners, but my gloves fit me properly so no room there. Handle bar muffs? Not realy the look for a storm and too many farmers round here have them on their quads . (probably got a grant for them). How do heated grips keep the back of your hands warm ?
Re: colour
They dont, just your palms I supose.
I bought some Keis heated inner gloves, very toastey. It's probably worth buying some new gloves as well that are big enough to accomodate them.
Your current well fitting gloves may well be part of the issue, no air gap to insulate your pinkys...
Unfortunatly my Keis heated gloves were lost at the side of the road or poss in the back of the ambulance durring my last little mishap. Strange as my balaclava ended up in my jacket pocket...

There's a reason for that! Be careful when riding orange bikes, they wear you down gradually until one day you give up on life and throw yourself down the M25! Do yourself a favour and paint it blue to break the depression!sirch345 wrote:Orange is a rare colour![]()

A lot of shephards around here on quads. All with muffs to keep their hands warm. The sheep really appreciate it...
