I LOVE WINTER!!!!!!
« on: July 14, 2005, 04:00:25 AM »
Having been fed up with stopping every hour (or less) to thaw out my hands, I bought a set of heated grips today.
These are as good as sex (if you're married they're better than sex).
The brand is "Oxford", all wiring & switches are supplied (good quality) & it took twenty minutes to be up & running.
Variable heat control & maximum draw of 2 amps for each grip on full heat mean the old K7 rat can handle it okay.
The cost was A$130 which would be about $20  USA or3 euros

Woah--$20.00 US = 3 euros?   I knew our currency was going down the toilet but I didn't know it was that bad!

Actually, I have no idea about foreign currencies.
All I see is tourists hand over not much of their money & receive piles of ours.

Any decent bike shop should stock them.
Be wary though as there are a few cheap & nasty brands out there.
Mine are from an Ozzie shop - Motorcycle Acces. Supermarket in Sydney.
