If your'e on a bike where you hands get a lot of wind heated gloves are the way to go.

On the motard the gloves are the

where heated grips would just be a tease

Ok this does makes sense.

it was 25 this morning with frost on the ground and the back end kept wanting to break free under anything but the most conservative throttle application.

oh, and I hardly ever use the heated grips on the sled so I haven't put any on my bike.

I used the ones on the sled a few times and my hands got warm and then started to sweat and then the outsides got REALLY freakin' cold

Thats the reason I don't ride under 30...not out of cold, but out of anticipation of ice. Either by dew or by possible puddle or a sprinkler gone wild..etc

I bet it wasn't 40* when I left this morning. Legs and ankles were a little cold, but not bad. Damn broken Jeep, forced me to take bike.
