    Stick you hands in some muff

    After seeying the weather report for the next week decided to take some action and get my muffs back on the bike. Hopefully this will help in feeling my hands the whole trip instead of losing it by the end of the drive way.



    If this does not help will have to resort to heated grips but wouldn't want to damage my reputation

    I might be wishin' I had a muff to put my hands in on Thursday 'cause the old "tin top" is going to Henry T's garage for fixin. I'll mostly be ridin to work then

    Had a great arguement with some guy at work who doesn't move over for bikers, hates waggon drivers and was generally obnoxious - guess who's now on my hit list

    These muffs went straight over the handguards and fitted in about 5 minutes. Was no need to move anything or undo the mirrors like I hade to with the GS. So at least I know it's a fairly tight fit *cough* muff and it won't push back onto the break or clutch lever.

    Good Lord... am I the only one who must make the pervy comment about muff diving?! :P (oh gee... was it that obvious that it needn't a comment? )


    Ok ok ok... I'm running grip wraps on bike (you can swap them from bike to bike) with good results. I've also got a set of those muff things you've got there (I got a scream'n deal on 'em a long time ago so I had to buy 'em), but have yet to use them. I'll be interested to hear how you like them.
