We're all aware by know that I'm not a spring chicken anymore. Megs and Giv' won't let me forget it despite them both being way older than me. I noticed the other night that my poor old arthritic hands might be more comfortable if the grips had a bit more beef on them. Not as much as to make my grip loose but just enough so that my, admittedly long fingers didn't feel like they were overlapping themselves. Anybody know of such a thing?
Kill 2 birds with one stone and get some Datatool heated grips, they are more comfy than the standard one's IMO
Exactly what I just thought, these beefed up the grips on my VFR nicely, with the added bonus of toasty digits!!
Heated grips!!!???? Pah, ya might as well pack it in. They're for doddering bee ems wi fat old bastids wobbling about complete with top boxes. Get some sponge grips. Lol.
The datatool ones are chunky, are they. I had Oxford ones on my Ducati and they were about the same girth as the factory ones. Oh, and Blags, thanks for your encouragement mate. I am a fat old wobbly bastid though.
If he had done a few years graft in his younger days he wouldn't be walking about with Beadle hands .
I know this may be a little off-thread but... talking about 'girth' etc,one of the current wife's assistants got a new passat estate, the wife said ooh its a big car and the assistant replied 'oh you soon get used to the length'... I couldn't help but smile! Anyway back to these grips? £62 brand new off ebay, bargain and the heating will help with the stiff digits....
R+G do me. Seriously warm and sold by a South West company who are comfortable discussing silage and crop rotation.
Oxford sport heated grips are thicker than standard. I like them!! Let me get a picture up I like how grippy they are as well.
It's such a wonderful word to use. I try and sneak it in whenever it can be considered germane. It's automatically saucy and I especially like the feeling it makes when you roll your tongue around it. I do sometimes wonder whether this place is the best way to ask advice such as this. Being a telemarketer's dream schmuck. I read h's solution and thought "there's the answer, right there." Then Si said the rude word 'Rizoma', swine that he is and I changed my mind. Now Alex and Matrixxx have given me valuable options as well. Although it might be good to talk to R&G to see what they'd recommend about a piece of hay I can still chew while wearing my helmet... This thread could go on another dozen pages and I'd probably end up choosing the last post. So all those with an opinion on the subject, invest in some sniping software.
'Germane'! Another great word. My ideal couple of sentences would go something like this... 'My heated grips worked well in the rain. Great warmth and GIRTH. However my textiles leaked and I got a MOIST GUSSET.' Perfection.
Very good. Although I can't help but feel that using 'MOIST' as a modifier renders 'GUSSET' superfluous. You just can't trump 'MOIST' I always feel that engineers get the best 'woody' words... Flange Sprocket Woodruff Grommet Gland The list goes on...
We gas types used to get to talk about 'long screws' come assessment time. They've dropped that part now. We still get plenty of 'male to female' action. A serious amount of snigger time needs to be factored in when making a decent order at a trade counter. I like the word 'foetid'.
