Got my heat grips fitted first time doing something like that and probably not perfect but then again who’s are

Also the missus passed the first part of her bike test so used this as an excuse to buy another to pro and it worked

Said I got one for you encase you want to use it

Oh and went out on a cold lap on Sunday now the bikes stinking but might use it Wednesday onwards travelling to and from work that Xmas traffic is bugging me

You'll not look back now with the heated grips! I found it just takes a wee bit of time to leave the wiring tidy and hidden. They are a must have, especially if you have the heart to go out in that weather lol

Every bike should have them IMO. MSX. Hornet have them. I did have a set on the Blade, but they are the ones on the MSX as the Blade hasn't turned a wheel in years.

I had mine on going to NW200 this year :laughing:. Many wet days they were on to just take the chill off

My other must have is a helmet with sun visor

Well recommended. They were on three nights in a row last week. Nice to have some new bike stuff to watch this time of year.

Yamaha can Foxtrot Oscar for making what should be a routine job about the same difficulty as brain surgery. It's back together with no bolts left over though :joy:

I clean my spark plugs a lot less than you clean your trunks from having spills or close calls

Here's to hoping that 2019 is as good if not better than 2018, same banter and a few more organised runs after the worst of the salting . :cool: Yet also a poigant reminder that what we do can be dangerous, there's an empty seat at these fellas tables..
