Aluminum Grips

The only metal your body touches on your bike is (on some bikes) your gas tank, so I'm not sure what point you're making there.

Direct sunlight with your hands on them? Let me get this straight, you believe that silver colored alum grips will get hotter than black rubber grips... well, I've never noticed anything but you'd know better, I'm sure.

btw my frame is black aluminum and I've never burnt my leg on it...

Not to mention that my bar ends are metal...that's a trip to the burn unit just WAITING to happen!

Didn't realize you kept your hands on the clip-ons the whole time your bike was parked. Clearly my bad.

Tell you what, the next sunny, hot day you lay your hand on the roof of a silver car and I'll put mine on the tire. We'll see who pulls away first.

And then there's the whole density thing that makes metal retain heat longer than rubber, but I can see how you missed that in my original post. Next time I post in a thread you're in, I'll be sure to use pictures for you.

Well, I'd appreciate it!!! I certainly recognize your point but you fail to understand that I already have these grips and they haven't burnt me yet. And I posted pics...

Btw we should get together and ride this Summer! You're not doing Murtle Beach are you?

You sure did, about 5 posts after my post that asked more of question than declared anything. Then you brought up ambient temperature and lost any credibility.

I'm ready for some warmer weather already! I didn't make any street trips last year, just track days and rode to work a few times. Hope to get at least one mountain trip in this year. Definitely down for catching up though, just not Deal's Gap. That has to be the least fun place to ride anymore.

Depends on when you go... Me and the GF went and honestly were about the only people there. If you can go during the week, score! The thing about the Gap is that it's a great starting point and an easy/cheap place to stay.

Wait did you say "credibility"? On this site? Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

This! Heck, I enjoyed going the other way towards Wheelers personally.
