Well I did it. I have finally scummed to the siren call of heated clothing. I just ordered a heated vest from www.helmetcity.com. I couldn't pass on the rave reviews from www.webbikeworld.com and free shipping.
Tourmaster SYNERGY heated vestWhat next? Heated grips, gloves, socks? Maybe a heated seat? I remember when I thought a windshield was the only concession I would ever make to comfort. Could this be the slippery slope toward a full blown cruiser? Perhaps a Gold Wing is in my future or a BMW multi-letter road bike. If I get any fatter maybe a H-D FLQYRSX Fat Job Road Queen.
On a serious note, what sold me was a comment about safety and how with the vest one isn't bundled up like the Michelin Tire Man during cold weather. After my sub-freezing ride yesterday I decided to make the plunge. I'll keep you posed.
It might be cheaper to move to Arkansas. Does the REB have enough juice to power something like that? Inquiring minds want to know! I bought some heated grips for the Voyager, but I haven't put them on yet. I guess I'm letting them age. You need to make a field trip to Arkansas soon so we can do some riding. Take care.
