It's not ice I worry about so much as the idiots in the cages that can't drive on dry asphalt much less snow or ice. This is a breading ground for stupid people. :blush:

If I waited for all the stupid people on Iphones to get off the roads I would never ride !!!!! Luckly I dont live in the city and have nice open roads north of me . I avoid st louis completely If I can those people are stupid and dont watch what they are doin no matter time of day or how loud your bike is they will run you down and keep texting at 70 mph...

Anybody add heated grips to an old KZ? If so, where'd you put the switch?
