And heated grips are amazingly effective. People kept nagging me to get some, in the end I did... and then couldn't be bothered to fit them for ages 'cos I knew half a dozen Watts wasn't going to make any difference faced with a wind-chill of -40ºC and winter gloves insulating my hands from the puny amount of warmth. I was wrong. I can now manage a commute home down the M3 in freezing conditions without suffering the horrible pain of thawing fingers once I get home.
