My Kawasaki Concours headlight has been giving me fits. Earlier this week it flat out stopped working, and has intermittent getting home last night. Not the safest operation, but due to the trailer I own with some friends being on another task this week I had to get it home somehow.
Well, today on the ride in to work it wouldn't come back on. When I got stopped, one connector was way loose. I shut the bike down, took the gloves off and tried to adjust it. "tink tink tink thud" but very faint. Looking down into the headlight housing/main fairing area I notice a bare wire sticking up. I kneel next to the bike and there on the ground is an old, beat-up blade connector that wasn't there earlier. GREAT.
Going to scavenge a pair of needle nose pliers from the restaurant row/Starbucks here if I can and at least try to get it back on. If not, will have to go to plan B.

2nd Annual EXTORTION ONE SEVEN Memorial Poker Run Ride Route
This Saturday we will hold the 2nd Annual EXTORTION ONE SEVEN Memorial Poker Run here in San Diego. Last year we had 202 participants and raised $7,000 for the Navy SEAL Foundation and the EOD Warrior Foundation. This year we are hoping for a much larger turn-out and raising even more money for these great charities in honor of the heroes who perished on August 6th, 2011 during the EXTORTION ONE SEVEN mission.
The ride begins at Sweetwater Harley-Davidson in National City CA, with registration at 8:30AM (0830 for the military guys!). Kick stands up (KSU) is 10:00 (again, 1000 hours, there Devil Dog!). The ride ends at the "new" San Diego Harley-Davidson on Morena BLVD, with a short memorial service at 3PM/1500 then the raffle prizes and a band. There will be a high-hand and low-hand prize, raffles including one complete AR-15 and one build kit, knives, gear, range time and a 50/50 drawing.
Looking forward to it but also have a lot to do as a ride committee member!
