    Even better are heated gloves :)
    I can't ride in the cold without them due to white fingers :confused:

    Best bits of clothing ever, neckerchief and silk balaclava, stops wind burn on the neck and even your chin if your helmet is short or open face. But can be a real hassle getting it off when stopping for fuels etc, as service attendant won't turn on pumps and serve you because your Identity is concealed.
    Remember being chilled and waiting for fuel pumps to start on many winter nights, when the Brain is chilled and not @ your best ! Wasting time just stood there....

    Silk balaclavas, swear by them.
    Warm in winter, cool in summer and keeps the inside of your herlmet clean.
    For ~ £8, Best Buy ever!

    as a Norton owner in the late 60's and early 70's, I thought electric starters on my Yamaha's was nice!

    My new little Rhonda the Honda does not have a starter motor at all, just push the 'starter' button, hear the engine turn over for a few seconds and it starts, no clunks or any noise, and when you stop it switches off and starts again at the twist of the wrist!!
    Brilliant, a real novelty.
    Probably coming to a bike near you soon.
