If you are parking your bike outdoors in sub zero temperatures, unless you " box in" the motor, any external heat from a low wattage heater will be quickly dissipated. In days of old I used to put a fireproof blanket around the engine of my bike with one of these paraffin sump heaters under the engine. It worked fine as long as the blanket was in place.

Now I'm liking that enfield twin propelled fun-mobile!  Does it steer and stop too?

The Berkley 3 wheeler came with a 2 stroke twin as standard. The four wheeler had the Enfield super meteor motor in it. Uk licence regulations at one time allowed you to drive a three wheeled car on a motorcycle license. At one time you could pick up these cars for nothing so some enterprising individuals would put the meteor engine in the three wheeler, I sat as a passenger in one once and it was terrifying. Check out youtube "Berkley 3 wheeler" some nuts put an even bigger engine in one.

A big thankyou to krimp, because I looked at one of the links posted in this thread the retailer sent me an e mail with their product list which includes a circulating water heating pump which I can use in my domestic system, without having to rip out half my kitchen. Great where these things lead. :)
