I did not think he got turned fast enough to have gotten any front/side shots of me. I guess he's quicker than I thought!

Also, notice my headlight is still working. When we went to leave Rudy's later than evening, my low beam was no longer working :doh: Fortunately, all the roads between there and Rusty's house were well lit.

That is good. My PIAA bulbs last about 3-4 months before the low light burns out. It is really easy to change them on the little GS! At 65 watt, they are still too anemic to be decent at night. I don't like riding at night as much as I use to.

What a fun weekend. Thanks for leading!

:tab Don't know for sure yet. I parked the bike when I got home and have not gone back in the garage to look at it. I think I have a spare bulb somewhere... I just have to find it.

:tab By the way, thanks for hosting everyone Friday night Rusty and for providing lodging for the weekend.

Felt sleepy that time, asked Scott and Camilo for a short nap at this place:

Then we headed to Rusty's house and had BBQ there. Too hungry and the food so great then forgot to take any photo.

Many thanks for Veronica and Rusty!
