I wasn't aware of Grip Puppies. After looking those up, I might have to get a pair.

my gosh fellas I wish I could turn the clock back. I am listening to Billy Joel right now, stuff from when I was a child and I heard my mom listening too. Something about Zanzibar. Man I wish I could go back guys. This modern era has me down.

Installed Grip Puppies today. If you search on YouTube you can find multiple ways to to install them. I used hand sanitizer and it worked perfectly. For both the new protapers onto the bar and the puppies onto the grips. Worked great

My 1st cassette was Credence Clearwater Revival. It was my mom's (one of her faves) and it's some my favorite music to listen to now, but it's Chicago that reminds me of both my parents and my childhood. My Mom is still around, but my dad passed almost 25 years ago. My dad was in a Chicago cover band when he was in college.

Despite the chilly weather, I took the Hawk 250 out. The Grip Puppies are a nice addition, and the gel stuff—I'm liking it. The downside is the cost of it, but another layer or two could build up the seat to be even with the hump. Probably won't bother, but something like that could work. The stuff is good at absorbing the vibes.
Or as Hunter S. Thompson would put it: "In the face of the biting cold, I dared to unleash the mighty Hawk 250. The Grip Puppies, a peculiar addition indeed, but the gel stuff—oh, how it sings to my senses! The drawback, however, lies in its price tag, yet perhaps another layer or two could elevate the seat to meet the hump's challenge. Unlikely that I shall indulge, but the prospect lingers like a specter in the night. This substance, it possesses a knack for absorbing the vibrations of the road, a trait not to be taken lightly." Yes, I've been playing with AI again, but I promise to keep it to myself. other than that text. because well, it was groovy.

I have the cheaper one on several bikes. I can't tell any difference.
