Heated grips are a requisite now for all future bikes owned by me.

Used mine this morning...........luverly!
Although mine are either on or off so I need to keep loving them off as my hands get too toasty. Seriously, I'm not just rubbing it in
Never thought i'd want them until I bought a bike with them on, like Akra, wouldn't do without now.
**why does f l icking show up as loving in my text?**

If you are finding it "hard" going, Matt said it was no trouble for him to stand in

coincidentally, today I also used my heated grips for the first time since summer started (or has it started yet?)

Big Kneed Al (master of the emergency stop & "stand up" comedian), Can you put a little note at the top of the page? Something along the lines of...
"If you got a set of oxford heated grips for your birthday on Friday and just searched for 'Heated Grips' and got excited when you saw this thread then don't even bother - it's just another off topic perverted aberdeenbikers discussion".
Lynners, did you get them fitted? Easy/difficult?
