Lol ca200. All kidding aside, I do have respect for riders that get out in bad weather to get miles in. As for me and my crew, too many sunny days to mess with bad weather.

What an enviable position to be in.
On the other hand, where I live in SW Ohio, very little traffic, great riding roads, no earthquakes, tornados, tsunamis, very few biting insects, no poisonous snakes, small population density, four distinct seasons, low cost of living. There is a lot of good about living here, and you can ride about 300 days if you consider between 32 and 90 acceptable and are willing to ride in the rain on some of those days lol

My BMW of 24 years had heated grips from day one. Love them always. The new CB1100 will get them installed at the 600 mile service. I live in Texas now and won't need them much here but those mountains are calling in the future.
SO I VOTE FOR GRIPS!

Installed heated grips on the Griso last year. Left hand side needs works as it tends to heat the handle bar more than me.
Went with heated glove liners (still a work in progress, plan is to visit Aerostich next month with the liners and score on some proper sized leather gloves) a few weeks ago and I have to fall on the side of gloves/liners. The heat is all around the hand, no cold spots. Simply wonderful. Getting all plugged in is no picnic and a bit of a hassle though and that part may sway some folks back to grips. I'll sort the left grip some day so that I'll have a choice. I have no plans to add heated grips to the CB.

I have my First Gear/Warm-n-safe heated jacket liner and glove liners set up on a dual controller so that they can be worn together or separately. I keep the controller in the right side of my tank bag which will go from bike to bike. I wear the glove liners inside leather mittens, keeping all my fingers together. The heat controller is set up to plug into the battery tender plug I have on all my bikes, although when it gets cold enough to necessitate the glove liners and jacket liner, which for me is under 32 degrees, I'm more than likely on the Honda ST 1300 due to the superior wind protection.
