Default 2nd 42-degree commute, this time with heated grips

My Symtec grip heaters came yesterday, so I spent the evening installing them. It was a breeze, but I took a long time to plan the wiring, relay, and button positioning.

High was roasting. Low was even too much for my Alpinestars leather gauntlets. I had to cycle the heat off twice in 35 minutes. I guess I'll have to get some winter gloves to spread the heat a bit.

My goal is to ride through November. So far, so good. Next purchase: Gerbings electric jacket.
