Yep. We've been plugging in for weeks now, heated vest and grips, makes it enjoyable. It's a safety feature David, not bling so it's totally justified.

A few years ago before I had heated grips on my meanstreak I rode into work, only 25 minutes but in minus temps and by the time I got to work I couldn't pull in the clutch or use my front brake cause my fingers were frozen solid. I pulled in my clutch with my wrist and pulled to a stop with my back brake and I couldn't get my keys out of my pocket to open the d@mn door to get into work to warm up. I was almost in tears from the pain of my hands thawing. Since then the first mod on any bike is heated grips. I can stand getting cold just not my hands.
