I finally tried out the new Sylvania SilverStar Ultra lights on the VFR. Here in town I can't tell that they're a lot brighter than the old bulbs, but they're surely whiter than standard bulbs. Headlights on other vehicles now look very yellow. I think I may raise the beams just a little. They have a sharper cutoff and less scatter around the edges than the old bulbs so I'm actually not getting quite as much light farther down the road.
It seems everything recreational these days is related to motorcycles. I took all the fairings off of Melanie's motorcycle this week to troubleshoot a problem with her driving lights. It turned out to be a pretty simple fix with some wires plugged into the wrong spots that were blowing the horn/accessory fuse. The Honda dealer plugged them in wrong the last time the bike was there, but shame on me for not labeling them properly. I'll fix that ASAP. Now with that fixed I just need to put the body back on tomorrow so she'll be ready to go.
If it's not raining in the morning I'll be hopping on the VFR to ride over to the monthly flying club meeting to take minutes for the meeting as the Secretary is out of town. Then jet over to Foundry church to catch Cale's basketball game. After that I THINK the day is free. I need to take pictures of our old jet-ski/motorcycle trailer so we can sell it and get a newer folding trailer that holds 2 bikes and folds up against the wall when not in use.
Finally, on Sunday it's a late lunch motorcycle ride with some friends up to Snook just outside of College Station. We're headed to Sodolak's restaurant for some good steaks and maybe a few slices of chicken fried bacon. Ummmm cholesterol!
