    Due to my very good experience in 2022 with the textile jacket MODEKA VIPER LT I ordered it another time. Since it is somewhat small-cut, this time one size larger. Today I wore it in combination with warm underwear at -5 degrees Celsius on 60 km ride and it was sufficiently warm.

    Keis heated vest and gloves. Very impressed on first real life test today. I feel the cold (I'm a delicate flower!) but these are fantastic so far. They have extended my riding season by quite a bit I think.
    Not cheap of course but I think they're well worth it.
    Anyone else have an opinion on them or similar gear, good or bad?

    I have a cheap Chinese heated vest I got from Amazon for about £16 in 2021 just to trial heated kit - I am actually very impressed with it, although do worry I might burst into flames one day :laughing:.

    I have a heated vest, @TripleGrey, and I love it! It definitely makes a big difference in my comfort level when riding while it's cold. Yes, well worth it! I'm glad you're enjoying your new heated gear.

    I just ordered Oberon adjustable clutch and brake levers for my Street Glide Special. Nothing like a little carpal tunnel surgery to make you realize how much your clutch hand has to work to ride a motorcycle! I'm putting different bars on this bike so figured I'd do the levers at the same time. Lots of color combos available. I went with something "wild"--black levers and black adjustment knobs. ;):joy:

    Well, certainly not THAT! :eek::scream: :joy::joy::joy:

    I've ordered some fairly conservative bars from a company called Khrome Werks. They're not the currently trendy T-bars nor are they ape hangers or beach bars. They'll be narrower than my current bars by several inches and put me 2 inches up from stock with 2 inches more pullback than stock. The ones I ordered only come in chrome so I'm having them powder coated black as there's not one chrome thing on my touring Harley.

    Well let's hope not! Maybe pick up a cheap Chinese fire extinguisher just in case. :laughing:

    Today I ordered some R&G bobbins to enable me to get the Blade onto our paddock stand for chain cleaning etc. Not THE most exciting purchase, but anything bike - related is still a win I reckon......

    I have made a bargain. I bought an almost original "Adler 3-speed" from 1934 from a colleague for €250.-.
    In the following some pictures of it.
    I am really happy!!!
