But this I can clarify for you should you need it: 7443 bulbs are meant for the rear end of car...they are a dual-filament bulb that does 'double-duty' as both the turnsignal as well as the brake light. So as you are gunning for replacement bulbs for your front end, stick with the 7440.

All had their tops up. LAME.
You could tell we were in Vermont last weekend... the temperature was only mid 40s and I saw at least 5 convertibles with their tops down
Never see that here in NY except for us crazy people

Today was the first day I was able to drive the S on consecutive days since pulling it out of storage.

Picked up a growler of this yesterday:



Now, I don't normally go for fruit beers (it was more for Sarah), but as soon as I poured a glass, I was taken with the distinct aroma of blueberry. However, the taste is subtle, and it is a nice light refreshing beer for the warmer summer days.

YUM, EBC!
Not so sure about the blueberry though, I would have to try it, and buying a whole 6-pack scares me
I tried a blueberry from a brewery in the Mass area, and it was too blueberry for me

Congrats!!!
I'm in Rex today, I have some errands to run and did not want to deal with parking the S at some of the places I have to go

And bike wise for me, I'm happy to say, battery is in, oil and filter have been changed
Starting this thing up after a winter sleep was amazing, I love fuel injection, key on, in neutral, push start button, VFR is running, now that was simple, and awesome
Both side fairing are off and tonight out comes the garden hose
I'm going to try and leave a bit early to get a jump on traffic, I need to pickup a refill container of S100
I was thinking of running out to Spencerport after work, but I should at least call CycleStop, if they have it, and it's within a couple bucks f the Hollink price I just might get it in Henrietta instead and save myself the daylight time driving to and fro Spencerport


I cannot figure out where I put the spare headlight bulb
It should be in the bike bag but it's not there
The hi-beam is out on one of the headlights so I need to change the bulb
Looks like I'll have to buy another

I have the S for the next few days as my daily driver Tom got a flat tire Sunday morning while delivering tires

He's got my Fit for the next couple days until we decide if we are buying two or four new tires (he has about 15k on this set).

I think he just likes my Fit better I'm going to have to trade cars with him tomorrow for awhile, I love my chiropractor but the location is somewhere I do not like to park the S
