It got pretty nice here, but there's still way too much snow and ice on the roads for my taste.

It was 45 and sunny Tuesday. I rode my Multi and wound up getting home several hours after dark. It got pretty damned chilly after the sun went in. The heated grips on my bike go from mild to wild. I was surprised the grips didn't stick to my gloves. Does everyone's get that hot or are mine messed up? My BMW gets warm and toasty, but don't blister your palms.

Problem with riding in the winter when you catch some warm weather is: sand!

Where I live the roads are now a "beach" when dry.

Willie

Yup....they really do get that hot! They are not "messed up".

Same here, burning blisters if not carefull. So you're in the right shape.
