I picked up a vintage leather holdall. It's needed a few feeds, the leather was parched but coming back nicely.

That picture looks a bit posh for the abode of a Communist does it not comrade? verging on the Bourgeois indeed.

Haha, they're original but one was loose and i put it somewhere safe about 15 year ago so i wouldn't lose it.

I'm sure it'll turn up

Just got some Furygan heated gloves. I hate having cold hands, and I've currently only got heated grips on the Street Triple, and the weather is going to get cold again next week , so I'm hoping these will keeps my delicate little fingers toasty

I'll let you know if they are any good, when I've had a chance to try them out.

Heated grips and heated gloves? My God you southern softies! You ain't a real biker unless you have to wrench your frozen stiff fingers off the bars and then spend half an hour cursing while the feeling slowly returns.

Granted I am a softie where being cold is concerned ...and possibly a softie all round these days

 

[MartytheMartian]

I am actually surprised that I haven't felt the need for any additional thermal protection these days. Never experienced heated gloves or electrically heated anything else on a bike.

Did you ever try running them under a cold tap to warm them up slowly? I remember that bit of folklore and trying it.

It's bollocks.

 

[MartytheMartian]

Yep I did, after an hour+ on the road to work in minus ten winter frosts, arriving at work and having to pull my gloves off with my teeth then running water over my hands. Jeeeeezzzzzzuuuuuuussssssss!!!!!! They could hear me screaming a mile away at the other end of the factory!
