How early man kept hands warm....on a scooter.
« on: April 13, 2020, 05:55:15 PM »


And my early attempts to pre-heat a scooter.


I give myself props for trying to brave through frigid Nov. & Dec. sunrises without heated gloves. (I could go about 20 mins....between tearing up)

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

There's always the exhaust for heating hands. A method to be approached with caution.
Become the best you can with what you have.

Yes, see my gloves cooking in top photo. Left too long, the stitching lets go and a finger or two falls off.
Also, hugging the muffler with numb hands leaves one prone to injury before you realize what you've done😊
Purchasing a set of battery heated gloves permitted me to ride to the same areas I visit in the other 2/3rds of the year.

I know about that, first and last time I did it by the time I was feeling some warmth my palm skin was shrunk.

Ski gloves have worked for me as long as I get the blood flowing before riding.
