Thanks for the ideas everyone.
I ended up getting one about half way across the country and I'm glad I did. I ran into quite a bit of rain and cold weather near the end.
The last day I rode about 12 hours in total and the first five hours were torrential rain. The rest of the day was light to heavy rain so I was very very wet. But that heated vest made it nice. It was really good to have that heat generated inside my jacket. My pants leaked after a few hours so my butt and legs were drenched but my Jacket held out. I rode non stop except for fuel. I was going to stop once for a coffee but the idea of having a coffee in what amounted to a wet diaper wasn't appealing so I rode on. I was fine with the non-stop riding, I like that, but would rather have had a dry butt.
I bought a Venture heated vest that comes with a controller. Wired It up to the battery behind a shopping centre not far from the bike shop I bought it at and away I went. Money well spent. I don't regret it at all.
Good ride. Lots of fun. Of course, every ride is a good one eve if I get wet.
