Ingenious, but I agree with 2Kwacks, good socks, and boots have always worked well for me  :yes:

OMG  :sleep1:

That's the most stupid MOD I ever seen - and specially for a GTR! Funny that he is primary driving in Italy where temp. never goes under 10-15 gr.

  :mfr_lol:

A good boot will do the job......

The voltmeter showed 11.8v. By my reckoning he has about 800mv of resistive losses in wiring to the single foot peg. I wonder what happens when it gets wet  :rolleyes:

Still at least when he off the bike he's taser proof and won't suffer from a lightning strike  :smiley:

So when we ride our bikes in temperatures sometimes below zero it has to make you think how we survive in simple boots and decent socks!

Applaud your inventiveness  :clap:

Where there's a will there's a way.. not my cup of tea though... I'd rather have a dry if cold pair of boots than a warm wet pair..

Must say, like the rest, I've never had a problem with cold feet when I had decent socks on.
