A beautiful day turns to snow. I take the Royal Enfield Himalayan off road in the snow. A perfect opportunity to show the Oxford Hot Grips installation. In this video review I install the Oxford Heated Grips (Adventure) and talk about the benefits of riding in cold weather with these fantastic grips. A must have modification for cold weather motorcycle adventure riders.
On my channel I do all things moto vlog on my Royal Enfield Himalayan. I do installs and modifications on my adventure motorcycle, tips and tricks for adventure riders, motorcycle tours and camping, motorcycle maintenance and more.

Hi Martin, having had hot grips on my bikes I now get heated gloves which means they are portable between my 2 bikes and I really rate them but they cost a lot but wouldn’t be without them now. Plus if sell a bike got them

Riding in Devon in winter is nowhere near as cold as you experience in Scotland so my grips are seldom set higher than 50% even though I ride right through the winter. It's a shame that we don't get anywhere near the amount of snow that we used to get down here. In the 1980's I had great fun in the snow on my Honda 185XL which I wish I still had. Ride safe.

@@WeeJaunt No worries at all Martin. Actually, it sounds like a joke because everyone thinks Spain's a hot country - which it is in the summer - but the centre of the country gets seriously cold in the winter. I've been biking to work recently and in January, fine, by mid afternoon it heats up to about 15 degrees which is glorious, but with clear skies at night, the heat just zaps up into the atmosphere and I've had the odd scare with frost and black ice on the motorway junctions on my way to work in the mornings. I really like your videos, showing the real-world reality of living with an Enfield Himalayan. I'm toying with the idea of getting one as a second bike. I ride a Guzzi V7 but it's a bit limited as it has no luggage capacity or even a grab-rail for the poor passenger, but I'm not interested in a pocket-rocket, and I like the versatility of the Enfield. I'll stay tuned and who knows what this year will bring. You might sway me...

Thanks Troy. It's the Sand 4 mate. I looked at the sand 3 though.. Also a great jacket. When I bought this the 3 and 4 were pretty much the same price so I just bought the 4. If you can find the sand 3 your size now it's likely to be a good bit cheaper.

There's an infinity shop nr me. Didnt realise was a chain! Nice vid (tough conditions). Not been out for ages due to weather but hopefully soon! Just passed theory so gonna see re tests. Still not decided on a bike but no real rush. Will catch up on your vids👍👍👍 P.s Yeah am looking at summer jackets haha but yeah am down South and as a learner am still pretty much fair weather. Although my fingers did get cold over winter but its so muddy where I am n takes me hrs to clean bike. Spring is close here I think. Plus as am gonna sell the 125 want to keep it pristeen...
@WeeJaunt
@WeeJaunt 2 года назад
Infinity often has good deals so definitely worth checking up on. Like most high Street shops they are competing online. A good summer jacket will last for years and save you money. I have a summer jacket that is tough 3d mesh with protection on the shoulders and elbows obv had it for years. It's a German brand (Bos) shop around though there's alot of choice 👍

@@MauriceTarantulas they are all great mate. The good thing about a summer jacket is you can always make it warmer for cold weather or waterproof by adding layers. You can throw a normal large jacket over it. Iv got an ex royal navy gortex that I can throw over anything I'm wearing its even got reflective strips Think it cost me maybe 30 quid army-navy surplus you won't get a gortex cheaper than that. On the other hand it's hard to make a winter jacket cooler lol.

Fair weather Tom here. Did have a ride onto Dava Moor last Saturday. Fierce wind saw me go home. Sunday, lovely day, went to Granton-on Spey. I do find the grips a bit small. Any ideas on thickening them up? Go well.

Howdy Tom nothing worse than strong wind mate. Aye there's lots of solutions online. Iv seen all sorts of stuff like bicycle handle bar tape like you used to see on auld racing bikes. Probably ur best bet would be an anti slip foam cover something like this 👇 amzn.to/35LkmZh Shop around there's loads of different types.
