First camping trip of the year

#1 PostAuthor: Gavin » Thu Jan 25, 2018 6:42 pm

I went to the Rallymans Rally just outside Keithley last weekend to Seay it was chilly is an understatement.
It was 0 degrees on the ride to the event,

I always thought heated grips where a gimmic until I fitted them last winter,
What a difference they make on a cold day,, the fairing helps as well

Crazy man! :ups

I have heated grips on my 950 Adventure, plus I also have a heated vest. They're both great!

It was at the Keithley Rugby Club with approximately 60 other bikers, run by Dean Valley MCC, who also run the Dalesman Rally in July
