I found a 2"x 5" oil heating pad on Google .
Less then $25 , plug in 120v.
That might be something to consider.
You are hardcore riding at 0 F.

I'm not hardcore, I car poor.

Which is something that will be resolved late next year when I buy one of these:

My motorcycle mechanic buddy just can't wait for those to come out!

At that price, I might be able to convince both of my daughter's grandfathers to split the cost.

Do you insert that reptile heater from the mouth, or up the rear of the snake? 

Inquiring minds want to know.

Thank you Arizoni, I really needed a good laugh this morning

I sure hope they start delivery before they go bankrupt.....

Me too.
 Those things look like FUN and using common off the shelf parts makes them maintainable by the DIY-er.

It is kind of like an enclosed "Can-Am" 3 wheeler.  I like it.

[Ducati Scotty]

Exactly!  A friend of mine went to a Can-Am focus group on those and the consensus among those invited was, "Who exactly are you building this for?"  Car guys don't want it, it's not a car.  Moto guys don't want it, it doesn't lean.  Seems they're doing ok with it regardless.  I think they had one of the biggest areas at the International Moto Show.

Still, making something like that but more car oriented should do well.  Supposed to be about $7k US and seat two with some cargo space, heat and all the comforts inside.  Unless gas prices keep dropping and America just starts buying record numbers of trucks and SUVs again.

It's somewhere between my C5 and my Dodge Neon.

I'd buy one tomorrow, if they ever came to the UK that is!

You could always frighten yourself with one of these British built Berkley's. Enfield propelled one is best for that all round fear factor.

This kind of C5? 

[johno]

I do like the Berkley or how about a Bond with a Villiers engine that had to be kick started from under the hood.
I already have the three wheel bug though, with these 3......

To stay on topic...... If wanting to ride in 'Artic' conditions you can get good benefit from wrapping the battery in cooking foil (shiny side in) and tying cardboard around the sump with a foil lining (remove after engine is running and oil starts to warm), Or bank snow around the sump to prevent wind chill freezing any moisture in the engine. This tip came from a friend who toured Siberia in mid winter.......

God, now i got almost a stroke. Not because of the Vehicle but because of the guy who looks like the EU nutcase Martin Schulz.

That's the inventor of the contraption, Sir Clive Sinclair. I kid you not.
