I’ve been thinking about this as I trundle back and forth to my new job.
When I underestimated the depth of the puddle I wondered whether the answer was Waterproof Boots. But they don’t exist. And fording dangerous water features makes me feel a bit like a real motorcycle explorer, though with the advantage of being able to dry my boots out on the office radiator.
Then I thought maybe the answer was heated grips. When I got heated grips on my Triumph I was able to extend my riding season massively. Until some scrote ripped the controller off the bike . If anyone has an old-style Oxford heated grips switch please let me know!
And then I decided that my favourite motorcycle gizmo is my coffee maker. When you can make your own coffee by the roadside you are truly free 🙂

Please explain what on ‘old style’ controller is. I may have a recent spare one. Grips are grips. Why wouldn’t a more recent one work just as well?

I will have to send you a photo, it doesn’t look like I can put one here! A more recent one might work but I am not gifted with wiring. I could do a like-for-like replacement but wouldn’t feel confident adapting.
