Heated clothing for the Pikeys?

Heated Waistcoast for £29.99

Wonder if it's any good as a waistcoat and I also wonder if it can be
bodged to be bike powered as carrying around loads of AA's is a bit
counter intuitive.

 

Autocom do a 12v to 9v adaptor for the basic intercom system so I guess
one of those could be bodged to fit.

Alternatively, connecting to the HT leads may work

You might need some sort of trembler and transformer, or inline
resistor, depending on the working voltage.

If you try it, don't forget to have a concentric in-line plug and socket
in the supply because you *WILL* forget it is connected, one day...

 

My GPS is 9V too, so that aspect is easy to do I think (not for me
obviously, I will blow myself up).

I'm just wondering if the coat itself is actually any good as it's
about ?100 cheaper than any other one I've seen.

 

I think they missed out "every 15 minutes" after it says "Requires 6x
AA batteries"

I'm waiting for a set of 'leccy gloves from GLF, shall report back on
the effectiveness of said item. I don't see the point of heated grips on
an unfaired Bandit and have terrible circulation to the paws.

 

Those will be fine as they're decent expensive kit.

In this case I'm interested because it's cheap

Chris. Fucking sort this abortion out, eh?

You always add "Chris D" (which surely ought to be part of the .sig)
*above* the *upper* separator: the upper separator doesn't work (in
Agent, at least) because there's another one below it.

FFS slip your name beneath a separator and bin the extra one, then it
wil all work nicely.

 

The reason for the double separator is that I have a 'standard' set of
bookmarks which I refer to with a variety of programs. This one (ie
Gravity) also adds its own sep (none of the others do). Until your
post I hadn't realised there was a problem with the double sep. Is
this the real version of Agent we are talking about - or the Free
Pikey Agent BTW? Any one else affected by any other prog?

I sometimes add other comments post 'Chris D' so I will hang onto it
for now...
