    Welsh invasion bike mod.

    The weather forcast suggest's it may be a bit nippy going down to Pembroke so not wanting cold fingers i had a quandry .

    Fit heated grips . . . . £75 . . . . nah

    Bar muffs, a bit restricting and . . . £30 . . . nah

    Make custom made bar muffs using stuff lying round in garage . . . £00 . . . Yay.

    A piece of old cheapo carrymat was cut to shape, . . . stuck with spray adhesive, . . . tied on with string, . . . reinforced with gaffer tape, . . . .

    Hey presto.







    The question now is;

    Will my hands be any warmer ?

    Will they still be on when i get to pembroke dock ?

    Have i just wasted 2 hour's on a folly ?

    Feel free to run a sweep on how far we get before they disappear.

    I think you may be lucky and they will last the trip down, as long as it does not rain.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    How about odds on the "muffs" arriving without the bike?
