Featured What you been doing with your TRIUMPH today??

The gloves were so poor I tried them on their own at home in the garage, and I couldn't tell whether they were actually doing anything at all. That can't be right, surely?

 

I must admit that I was slightly underwhelmed when I first tried them - they just don't seem to heat up like the jacket, which you can feel within a few minutes. However, they do definitely work (I've used them about a dozen times now) - your hands don't get any warmer but they don't get cold either. Would prefer that they did heat up more but I'm happy with not having cold hands!

 

I use the RST heated gloves with silk inner gloves. They seemed to do the job. It's only battery operated. So if you need for the whole day then you are in trouble unless you carry multiple batteries. Each charge would last around 150 minutes at hight temperature setting.

 

On the subject of heated gloves do they not think that big guys need em too. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I take a 4 xl in most and sometimes if lucky a 3xl in gloves , nobody seems to make them for me, 2xl is usually the biggest

 

ask mickey where he got his from

 

Naaaaa sorry theyre only 2xl, babies hands,lol. It is so hard to even get 4xl in normal winter gloves unless you wanna spend fortunes, even then it aint easy. Went to J and S recently, they had 1 pair but they were like going out gloves, no armour at all. I have measured so many times and have 3xl Buffalo at the minute but had to soak them in warm water to try to loosen em a bit. bought on ebay. should have known better

 

just out of curiosity do you have big feet too? normally big hands big feet..at least i think that's what they say

 

Lol Well I dont think they are so bad,@ size 11. Please no questions about the other bit, no it aint true.

 

Freezing fingers on our last few ride outs left me miserable the last dozen miles despite silk liners. So this afternoon I decided to go to BikeStop in Stevenage to look at heated ones. I took the long scenic route towards Letchworth and Hitchin, and finding my fingers were quite warm enough with a new pair of Frank Thomas Anti-freeze inners in place of usual the silk ones I called off the shopping and took another back-roads route back home. Feck me, once the sun went down my fingers nearly dropped off with the cold. BikeStop tomorrow.

 

No contest DD, but unfortunately it doesn't go with tweed, Barbour Belsey brogues and man bags.

 

i think if you can afford to hang on to it Jez you should,you could keep it for special occasions

 

It's an extra £40 on your shoe

 

DD, I'm surprised the bike has not sold yet. I've seen it advertised here and on ebay and Gumtree. If it's not selling after this length of time then it must be the price. Price it right and will sell...... It's a striking looking bike with the green paint flashed over the black, I like it.

 

Washed more bloody salt off this morning, roll on the warmer weather.

 

People used to get paid in salt and there you are washing it down the drain.
How times have changed!

 

Mick there was enough to salt a motorway. I`ll save you some next time at this rate I will have shares in FS365.

 

Can I ask what type of Lady Penelope is ?
