I couldn't help but chuckle... your quote about the leaves being brown and sky being grey reminded me of the song by the Mommas and the Papas, "California Dreaming", except you're in Ohio. (Sigh, I am that old...) Bike is looking great! And I can't wait to get the windshield and try it out for myself as well. I will want the auxiliary lights like you have. Riding at night on dark streets, I found that I was wanting for more light, especially off to the sides. (I wish the same in my car also.) |

Yes...I am that old as well (Michelle was a FOX back then) I packed what has become my standard late-in-day road meal 3 pc KFC dinner Can of decent beer (gasp!...he rides a MOTORCYCLE after drinking a beer!..Heaven forbid!) bag of BBQ pork rinds No insulation in the box, but that is easily solved by going to Walmart and buying a cheapo backpack/cooler. By the way, the spots I am using (a few others here have them) throw out enough light to ride with at night. If you move your switch between low and high you can turn the main headlight off. If pointed correctly these suckers DO throw a great pattern when joined. I have them nearly merged together on the road right at the lower edge of my high beams. No flashes from cars yet as they are not pointed far enough downrange. You could easily point the right side off to the side of the road to illuminate deer's eyes. |

I've yet to try Torpedo. Somebody just recommended it to me last week. Is it quite hoppy? /hijack

Got out today for a while. Left home around 11am and slabbed an hour south o I77 just to below Canton. Then zig zagged SE towards East Liverpool basically, looking for the dirt and gravel. No real route planned at all. Found plenty of great roads including some dual track through wooded areas. Knew what the weather looked like and didn't care. On way home right at dark and on cue, temps plummeted and cold rain and sleet. Stayed warm and dry with the heat cranked. Always sucks trying to see in shitty weather tho. Got home around 7:30 Stopped and took a break near Leesville Lake. Followed a trail into the woods quite a ways. Was nice and peaceful     at the Lake   Was on a dirt road called Blue Ridge a while and came across this awesome old cabin  followed another trail   War of the Worlds
