If you can access the bike's electrical system and create a spur with a plug some of these clothes are suitable to run directly from a 12 volt supply. A heated gillet, and heated warm gloves can make all the difference to your riding on a cold winters day.

Enjoy it anyway. Just think ahead, and wonder "What is the worst thing that could possibly happen in this situation?" And humans being human, it almost certainly will. I once stopped alongside a Police rider, he was stemming the blood flowing from his face. His Police bike was on it's side in the road, T-boned by a small car, in which sat the quivering wreck of a middle aged lady.

"She didn't see me" he said. Now, if she couldn't see a BMW in full livery with a big lad clad in yellow with a white helmet, what chance the rest of us?

Last point. Never ride without gloves. It may look and even be cool. However if you come off the first thing to touch the deck is your paw. Enjoy.
