I had a baseball double header this weekend and it was so nice out I couldn't resist taking the bike. The only problem was finding a way to haul my trusty bat (I don't like to leave it with the team equipment to get messed up). The game was about 40 miles away so I had to make sure it was secure and safe. After finding a suitable location I had to take some pics. I had many double takes when sitting at the traffic lights. I doubt it was legal but it was worth the risk. It was a beautiful ride. |

Tucked in nicely behind the oil cooler. |

After removing the passenger foot pegs, I use the remaining holes to mount my bat. How hot was that aluminum bat after 40 miles? |

It's a wood bat...not aluminum. Wasn't barely warm when I got there. |

Off topic here, sorry...how did you make both headlights stay on for the picture? |

Is it not possible to halfway the switch to get them both on? Anyway some creative soldering can get them both on. |

Yep, mine seems to do just fine setting the switch to halfway...doesn't seem to move while riding at all. |

Yep, I always have it halfway. It stays there until I move it. Only been flashed once so far. Rather be seen as a glare then not be seen at all. |

Just a heads up that a seemingly reliable anon posting indicated that leaving both on runs the risk of eventually melting the headlight housing... |

There used to be a guy around here who kept a sword strapped to his M2. Some sort of Wakisaki, as I recall. Bob |

A new meaning to a hot bat. You should have the Pegasus engraved on the sweet spot and brand every ball that you hit. |

Wouldn't be very many balls to advertise the brand the way I am swinging it these days. |
