The that should interest all, and I don't know if he is 
listening, are people like Bill F. who live in ClearWater FL, 
where the avarage low temperature is somewhere near 90 deg. 
still swear by them.

I guess if you never ride below 60 deg. F, then you don't need 
them. But if you are a RIDER, and not just a poser, they allow 
you to wear thinner gloves in the cold and wet, and simply make 
you a safer rider in the non-optimum weather conditions.

I am a RIDER, and I could not have a primary ride that does not 
have heated grips. Think of a heated jacket and grip as the 
heater in your car. You might not use it every day, but when you 
do, its oh so nice.
