was going to go to Mount Washington NH... left kinda late this morning so i thought if i sped a bit i'd make up some time.
wrong. got lit up. came close to getting my license suspended and bike impounded and a $2500 fine. the opp was nice enough to let me on my way. i'm such an idiot (this is why i hate the interstates and kings highway in ontario)
then going through montreal around noonish, it was bumper-to-bumper traffic. some guy pointed at the bike and said something.
my headlight had fallen out of the casing! it was banging along on the fender being held by the bulb socket wires. i pulled over when i could (stupid traffic) and took it off completely.
went to crappy tire and got some screws and duct tape. put the headlight back in.
decided to go back home taking the smaller highways... bad things happen in 3's and i didn't want to chance it.
when i got up this morning i didn't feel too well and thought i should just sleep in some more...
rule of thumb. follow your instincts
