    Default Memo to self... and others

    When it is 94 degrees and you are sitting in downtown Philadelphia traffic, do NOT accidently (or on purpose) turn on the heated grips

    I accidently did this the other day...to high! The RTS was sitting in the sun, so I did not notice at first. Gloves or no gloves, those babies were hot! Glad I am not alone...and neither are you. Thanks for the reminder, I'll make a note.

    Hubby turned on the heated seat on a bmw k1200rt that we rented for a couple of days while in Tucson,Ar. The button configuration was opposite what his BMW was at home. Here he is in 107 degree heat with the heated seat on. He was not a happy camper when we stopped. His pants looked as if he jumped ina lake. I felt so bad. He finally figured it out when we stopped what happened. I was laughing so hard. I was following him our nephews truck since we just picked it up. We were heading to Sedona the next day so he could show me "real" mountains. It was a great trip, once he figured out how to turn off the heated seat.
    happy owner

    Do you HAVE TO admit that you did it to join or can one live in denial and still be a member?

    I would probably do it when releasing the parking break (I am still proudly in denial! ).

    Regarding the handle grip heater switch being turned on accidentally: There are those that have, those who will, and those who prevaricate. It cannot be avoided. I probably doing at least once a week!
    Replaced my Lamonster Certified RT Limited #1874 With a 2018 RTL.
