Long time no blog

Howdy! Its been a while but I'm back. With the time change, mechanical problems and a busy holiday season I'm ready to start riding again. I've rode a few times some with problems some without. One of my biggest problems since the time change was by the time I get home and get my bike out it's pretty dark when Tyler and I get home. Thanks to this website http://www.geocities.com/jimburnetto/bike_light.html I was able to construct two lights for around $20. I'm using two MR11 35watt spot bulbs for illumination. I painted the housings with black bumper paint to make them blend in. Once connected I found that with the two 35watt bulbs it's quite bright. I may have to put a flood bulb in one and the spot in the other. This will mean two switches for the lights but thats not a problem. I may have to drop back to a 20watt spot if I can find one. Compared to my VW backup lights these are really bright. This could be what I have been looking for. The coming days will determine how well this will work. I didn't get pictures with the lights on but I'll try when I go riding again.
