Just got back from a 70 mile round trip to visit George Whites in Swindon to return the Frank Thomas Xti gloves I bought at the show as all the finger ends of the right hand glove had come unstitched.
A very helpful young woman is sending them back to FT for me to see if they will replace them even though I can't find the receipt.

Its been fairly cold out and according to Metcheck it should have been 0 deg C with a wind chill making it feel a degree or two colder and I can believe that as the back road into George Whites was like a skating rink, that is to say it was white and slippery
Thankfully the cafe was open so I could have a warming cup of char and a Bacon Bap.

Dispite the near freezing conditions the handguards did what I hoped they would and deflected the cold air away from my hands so for once my fingers DON'T feel as they have frost bite

They're very effective aren't they.
Had hand guards on my kmx, but never had the courage to put some on the 996!
