On second thought, there is no way in hell I'm paying $200++ for two pieces of nylon with heating coils.

Well take 4-5 warm up laps then. Or rent some at the track if possible.

Are you just now coming to the realization that motorcycles are expensive?

hardly. Just saying it's ridiculous for something so simple to cost over $200. Especially when the grip heaters I use every day cost $20. Exact same thing.

Huh, wonder if I could find a cheap heated vest and use that.

race tires aren't like DOT at all and pirellis aren't known for their heat up. Be very very careful for the first few laps on em if you decide to pass on tire warmers. There is a reason why people without tire warmers don't run race tread.

130-175 is a lot of preset temps, 100-212 is usually the range for adjustable ones
