And my early attempts to pre-heat a scooter.

I give myself props for trying to brave through frigid Nov. & Dec. sunrises without heated gloves. (I could go about 20 mins....between tearing up)

There's always the exhaust for heating hands. A method to be approached with caution.

Yes, see my gloves cooking in top photo. Left too long, the stitching lets go and a finger or two falls off.
Also, hugging the muffler with numb hands leaves one prone to injury before you realize what you've done😊
Purchasing a set of battery heated gloves permitted me to ride to the same areas I visit in the other 2/3rds of the year.

I know about that, first and last time I did it by the time I was feeling some warmth my palm skin was shrunk.

Ski gloves have worked for me as long as I get the blood flowing before riding.
