heh.. when i was setting off in April it was about 6C and my gloves with liners still left my hands frozen.

i also had to put a fog city in the visor and even that wasnt perfect as soon as i stopped.

i like the heated grips idea, did my das in Nov and the ER5 had heated grips, they just didnt work

I know i will get for this my mates used to take the piss , Until i gave up smoking i would suffer with chronic cold in my hands and feet so i bought some heated gloves like these

Far better than grips, and on one of our trips to europe going through belgium the temp dropped to 2 degrees, bloody glad i had them at the time and my fellow riders wished they did have them

Sept OK.. Oct-March - you must be nuts. i did some commuting on my previous bike (RIP) in April and i came close to frostbite i think
I too have heated grips (good deal from Welshman ) and they were easy to fit. Makes riding in the Autumn/Winter so much more bearable
