Title: Had to McGyver my way home tonight
Post by springman on 03/14/17 at 19:45:47

The light from my headlight seemed to be really be jiggling with every bump. Did not think much about it at first but then I thought, uh oh, the headlamp jug is breaking. It was and it did just before my exit from the HOV. As I exited my headlight was pointing to the ground. I put on my hazards and pulled over as soon as I could. I thought for a minute and said to myself, "no duct tape, gotta think of something else". Bungee cords did not work, but thank God I had my cargo net on the seat. I folded up the net to make it small and got it to hold the headlight. It was horribly aimed but at least it was light that other cars could see. I am going to try to JB weld the jug tomorrow (too tired tonight), but I will also start looking for another headlamp. >:( >:( >:(

Thanks Lancer, I'll take you up on that. I'll PM you my info.

Yeah, I prefer not to ride in the dark, but on occasion it just happens. ;)
