P.S.
Just a thought Andy, I reckon this means that you have made 11.3% of all the posts on this site since you joined!
We need to create a special award to cover this.

Anybody got any ideas?

OK, I'll start, with a nice one.

The Nestor Award (re-read Iliad & Odyssey) - for being a source of wisdom and knowledge

(tho' he was said to be 110. And probably very grey)

This is despite the fact he spends much time out of the country.
Me, I also joined in Jan 2007, (when we moved over from the old site), and have 3382 posts.

Haha - more posts but probably only the same number of words

..... though if only I could learn to substitute quality for quantity ...........

I really don't think so!
You can't get around it that way, u r still Mr. 11%.
Then again we would never want to lose you, there is nobody who comes back with answers to techie problems quicker or more accurately than you.

Just a quick test ...............

Which fuse do I go for if I want to connect some heated grips up to an ignition circuit?

I am sure you covered it before and have done a few searches, but can't find it in the Tech. Section.

Try a search with the following parameters .....

.... and the first result you get is this (It's a STICKY in the Aprilia Technical Section)

Hope it helps

I just knew it would involve the search function

And I am just an amateur post whore ;)

Very many thanks Andy, I did try to search, but was trying heated grips and others likes fuse box, not just grips on their own.
I always search first, but it is usually with the wrong key word.

As I said before, what would we do without you?

Cheers!

Sorry I nearly forgot ....................

You passed the test with flying colours.

Just for laughs, try the following search and see which is the top result

... and BTW glad the info did actually help

Yes it was a good laugh, not sure what I did.

I'm just old and stupid with not much patience, which is why I reallly appreciate the help people like you provide.
You'll understand better in a few years, (not too many now).
The even sadder part is that I am getting somebody to fit them for me and just wanted to tell them how I wanted them wiring!
Having suffered with Osteoarthritis for 30 years I can still grip things with my hands but it bloody hurts, so when I popped in to SMC in Sheffield yesterday and the Oxford Sports grips were on offer for £42, I was intested. The wife jumped in and said can you fit them, (Xmas present time), I argued briefly, but the fitting prices were also reduced, so the overall price was less than the "buy" price on internet.
As you get older this sort of option sounds a good bargain, although in the past I would priobably have gone for 1/2 price and fitted myself.
Working in a cold garage on the bike for a few hours leaves me in serious pain doing most jobs these days. I get a lot less pain riding so I spend more time riding than fettling now.[/i]

Thanks again.

Lol - don't worry about it Howard - you know I'm only winding you up and am happy to help.

..... and as for heated grips .... wouldn't be without them (have also been contemplating a nice pair of muffs for the colder months)

These muffs will be for my own comfort. They shall not be soiled by either Pete or John.
