Bob,
Well, yes, of course, I give the Corvair 'pits of hell' heater it's due.
The Bavaria gets pretty toasty though - I used to grill eggs on the dash...
I know the Lucas vest was a joke - and a good one at that, wrapping yourself
in Lucas wiring - but I'm telling you, anyone that wants to extend their
top down driving season should consider one...
They used to be pretty frail units - as you suggest with the fighter pilots
- but now they will last for years and years...My current Widder vest dates
from the 1999 IBR and I have ridden close to 100K since then - almost all
those miles were either wearing that vest - or with it securly in my tankbag.
Take care,
dj
