Great to see all the friendly faces, and Scott too.  ;D  (I keed, I keed)

Hopefully Stan, Dax & Ron made it home without too many frozen appendages. And yes Dax, it takes me about an hour to get bundled up and plugged in. It's well worth the wait.  [thumbsup]  When I crank the rheostat all the way up to 11, it's pretty damn hot.  8)

Made it back, but definitely envious of the 'plug in pleasures'.  Great to catch up with everyone.

I can sh.....t, shower and shave faster than that  :P

I'm still looking for those gloves, if only the battery life would improve.  after tonight though I may say who gives a shit.

As for the battery life, it's not a matter of longevity but how hot the gloves get. If running it through the bikes electrical is a "10" on the heat intensity scale, using the rechargeable battery is about a 5 or a 6. Let me know if you want to try them out and I'll bring 'em along to the next g-together.

deal.  I'd love to try them for a couple of minutes.  Although the cheap Olympia gloves I have kept me reasonably warm on the way home tonight.  BUT the problem is on colder days.  I get cabin fever and must ride even in the teens.....what can I say, I'm an idiot sometimes.

It was comfy going home for me, especially compared to this morning. Didn't need to turn on the electric vest. This morning my fingers were cold but sweating inside the gloves. I'll try with the silk liners in the morning and see if that improves.

Oh yeah, hi Scott!  Good seeng you, enjoyed the restaurant selection. Good seeing the rest of the group too.
