Welcome Sam, hope you get a lot out a great site.
Mines a pint of cocoa, it's a bit late.

Just wear an all in one suit, have a curry the night before and then provide your own central heating.

I think the curry might provide a certain form of "air conditioning " also :-)

ps mines a West Malle Triple, and welcome aboard

Hi Sam, and Welcome. Was that you at Cornerspeed on Saturday?

I take it if you are thinking of heated grips you are looking for a bike to use all year round?

I found that mine ran poorly in winter and suffers from carb icing when it is cold and humid. My 750 ss has been modified so may be worse than some, but I do not think it is unique. I would definately consider this to be a fair weather bike.

Many thanks for the advice will keep looking for a bike. TBH I dont ride much in winter but I do like riding in autunm so its nice to have the option of heated kit!
