SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum



Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

The sander exploding was a sign to get someone in to do that sort of thing so you can get out on two wheels now!

25 mile trip to the Impreza breakers and back to get a fuel pump only to find that my Oxford heated grips have stopped working. Fingers were like frozen chipolatas by the time I got home.

I've discovered that this is the main purpose of the rear brake.

No heated grips! Went for a sunny ride up into the hills towards Builth, soon turned to snow so I turned back. Freeezing cold finger tips.

Heated gloves??
I have a bad habit of not holding my digits round the grips.
But not seen many people who use them..
