Hi bonjo, I get that numb with cold feeling too...it's not great for your throttle /clutch co ordination either!. For the past 4yrs I have been using Keis heated gloves, running from a neat little rechargeable power pack I keep in my pocket. Brilliant! .A charge lasts about 8hrs. , and you can hard wire them to a connector from your bike battery. My XR650R didn't have such mod cons as a battery! . The Tenere is the height of luxury to me! Steve
