Re: Tell me about heated grips...

I'm a long time fan of heated grips and now spec them on new bikes every time: Best ones were Honda on the VFR, multiple levels and even temperature. Triumph are second, with the handguards on the Tiger 900 helping. As an aside I did have a heated seats on a previous Tiger 800 and while I only used ...

Re: Can you recommend some road riding boots please...?

What will you use the original boots for? You could save yourself a few cents by taking them to a shoe repairer and getting them re-soled (grind down what is there and attach a new rougher wearing surface) or just roughen up the surface enough to be grippy. The advantage with Daytona though, is that...
