Looks a great day out and some great bikes, not used my bikes much in about a month however the Superdream as been put into work run commuter mode this week due to the mild weather and I’m going to fit some heated grips this weekend for fair weather winter pleasure riding

I put heated grips on my 250NB for fair weather riding last winter, should've swapped the 'bars over with one of my 400s before I sold it  |

I got some Oxford grips to fit on Gill's Ninja 250 a few years back, but I found the wiring a bit heavy & got in the way. May have been more about that particular bike's 'bar & lever ergonomics than the grips though. I replaced them with R&G grips which were fine, so I fitted another set of R&Gs to her Z400 last winter. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191750605027I've fitted these cheap Chinese grips to 7 or 8 of my bikes over the years. A couple of them haven't worked out of the box, but I haven't had any fail in use so at the price, I can't complain. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334207429224 |

Well that's a couple of good reviews for Oxford. Next time I go for heated grips I'll give them a try, mind you, it's the never ending rain that's keeping me off my SD, not the cold.

Been reasonably mild last few weeks and I’ve fortunately dodged the rain showers pretty much , going to do a spring tidy on my bike so not worrying too much however any sign of salt the bikes staying tucked up in my shed |
