Re: [St] How effective are heated grips?

["David Bardell" <bardelld@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks all for the replies.  I've been looking at the First Gear gloves at
the Triumph shop.  Seem like a nice set of gloves and may go that way as
well.  It only has to stop raining long enough to get my new Tiger home.
 The ST is getting lonely in the garage..
Yeah,  I know it's British and should be used to the rain, but it is also
clean and should really stay that way for the first ride at least....:>)
