well I put my bike up for the winter saturday =[. Before doing so I went to the gas station and "filled her up". While there I had a guy ask me "Aint you cold riding that thing right now?" I said nope it aint 25 degrees outside :D. Which of course is the temp where my fingers started freezing lol. Thus the reason I want something to warm my hands up since thats the only thing that gets cold on me.
