Grabber Hand Warmers

Posted onAuthorJimLeave a comment

Don’t know if the weather is going to be hot or cold during Bike Week. Last week here in Sarasota the temperature was in the low 80’s but now it is in the low 70’s (daytime). Best to be prepared for the cold. I found a couple of sites online offering hand warmers for sale.

The manufacturer has a site, Grabber, where you can buy them direct. They will have the freshest product. I’ve read in some reviews that they won’t work if they are old, and some stores could have a stock sitting on a shelf for a year.

Campmor has them. And there is another camping supplier, REI.

Best Courier Bag

Posted onAuthorGeorge4 Comments

I learned something this past year from the guys at the local Honda shop about a handy and free courier bag. I was in their shop and had bought something when I realized that I had no way to take it home on my bike. They said no problem and gave me a standard helemt bag (HJC) that comes with every helmet. They demonstrated how these bags with their cords attached at two points work great for a courier bag. I have been using one ever since on both my M/C and bicycle and it works great. One of the best things is they are so compact you can stuff them in your jacket pocket or under the seat and always have a way of transporting that magazine, quart of oil, etc. when you need to. Give it a try. FYI, I think most shops have these bags lying around and are glad to give them to you or sell one at a very cheap price.
