…I actually took 2 shorter rides last week, but this was the first of any distance. After fixing the heated grips I rode the long way to Musselman Lake, making a loop past Humber College to make sure I knew how to get to my course next weekend. There were 2 full parking lots full of motorcycles at Humber: probably the first weekend they’re teaching the M1-exit course this year.
I wore thinner “summer” riding gloves, after reading they would let the heat of the grips through to my hands better… this worked around town but at sustained highway speed my hands eventually got cold anyways (unless I messed up the hi/low settings of the grips). Still, it was only about 1-2 degrees out, and it was nice to have warm hands at city speeds. It also makes me wonder how nice a heated vest would be…
