I hid the control box on Annie (@Public Enemy's T100)Over the weekend when allowed out to play, fitted Oxford heated grips to the Thruxton
not keen on the control box on the bars, may see if I can put that somewhere else
But they certainly work70% good and warm, 100% too hot for normal cold days
The fly screen is very useful for hiding loads of wiring sins

That’s a good idea Jez, food for thought there
Couldn't agree more...
I can vouch for that...However my trials and tribulations in the snow should not put anyone else off from having a go in the snow...
What about the one of me on the kazi...Great photo!

Why is Sainsbury's "gay"
Mmmmmm
Wish I'd known you were out and about. Went to Yondermann for breakfast. Lovely dry roads and a bit sunny. Bloody windy though.
I wasn't sure I would be out to be fair with weather being how it is up here..
Installed the grips on the Guzzi and was going to go for a ride to test, but on pressing the starter button there is nothing all the electrics seem to work lights, indicators, ignition lights, heated grips but the starter does absolutely nothing. So I pushed the Guzzi back in the garage and put it on charge, and took the Monster out for a couple of hours instead.
Funny enough I went to see what the new lady Duck had done with her shop as I knew she'd spent a few quid trying to make it respectful and tactful at the same time..I had planned on fitting heated grips to both the Monster and the Guzzi, but I had got the wrong connector to fit the Ducati heated grip power supply, so I've had to order another, hopefully the correct one this time
The Monster likes the cold air, I had a brilliant ride, really enjoyed myself. Stopped to get a picture of the poppies at Brixworth...

). I had a look on one of the Guzzi forums and read a post advising to check the battery connections, as if they are not clean and tight it can exhibit the symptoms I was experiencing, and I then remembered that I had the battery out a couple of days ago to repair my Optimate lead because one of the terminals had snapped . So I cleaned the battery terminals and lead connectors with some emery paper and made sure everything was tightened properly, and the bike started on first attempt 
I like a bit of Bishops Finger myself
Iceland are putting all their past sell by stuff in bags available to whoever needs it rather than lobbing it in a skip. I'd like to see that more.Sainsbury's is getting more gay by the minute for having naff all in and refusing to let me buy stuff that is right there on the shelf...The fella did apologise but as far as I'm concerned what a waste if all that was gonna be scrapped...
Having been homeless and knowing what it's like to be cold and hungry it just boiled my piss a bit..
