No picture to this post - Ok it finally happened on Sunday April 22nd about 3:30 in front of our Hotel. We checked in earlier but our room wasn't ready so we rode over to Luckenbach. When we got back all we had to do was pick up our keys. We pulled up under the canopy at the hotel and Lisa was going to go in and get the keys. As she started to get off I got off balance and down we went. YES! I dropped the motorcycle. Right on it's side in broad daylight. Luckily nobody saw, and nobody was hurt. The most damage was to the big flower pot Lisa fell into when she came off, and maybe a little bruised pride. I reached down and picked it right up just like they taught us in the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course I took. Never knew it could be so easy to pick up a 900lb motorcycle.

One of the challenges randonneurs face is night riding. While it is theoretically possible to complete the various brevets entirely in daylight, virtually all randonneurs spend some brevet time in darkness and the subject of bicycle lights is a frequently debated subject of conversation in many randonneuring clubs. While there are probably as many solutions to the lighting problem as there are randonneurs, I'm not going to discuss all the options here. Interested readers are encouraged to explore the many options available in systems using halogen bulbs, linear voltage regulators, various battery packs and/or generators. A wide range of systems have been successfully used in events like PBP and BMB and quick web search should reveal a wealth of information. I posted more information on my personal blog site, you can check it on http://bikerkiss.com/blog/harleyback
