I purchased white mats specifically for this purpose now that I'm an apartment condo. But as @Relax mentioned, I'll measure and reconfirm a few times before I unwittingly make this a multi hour job 🙂 If it's just a blowout bulb, then it is simply 12 screws. If it's incorrect wiring then it's...

I checked the service manual. The bulbs are definitely cross-wired (or something weirder). Either way, it'll be clear once I open it--three poles bulb = low + high; two poles bulb = high

Well well.. it looks like it's the high beam light that went kaput. I'm guessing one of the previous owners connected wrong sockets and installed this light upside down. Godam!t. Need to dismantle the entire headlight assembly. Good times.

Yamaha Tmax -- it's the low beam + high beam bulb and the low beam is basically on all the time. I guess you can call it Automatic Headlight On (AHO) light.

That's the plan. Non-Yamaha, but from reputable brands. I can wait till April to let it get warm. The question is, is it legal in Ontario to ride without a DRL? I learned this the hard way.

So my bike has a H4 and a H7 lamp, and the H4 went bust last night. I thought it could be a fuse of a loose cable but they checked out. Questions are: Should I get a replacement OEM bulb and call it a day? Should I get an aftermarket one? There are sooooo many options and being a noob I'm...

I heard someone going hard on in the East Mall area. Finally some company on the roads--it's been lonely the last couple of weeks. 😁

I'm out on the streets this week. It's warm!

Honestly, this isn't a big problem for me so I don't think about it that much. The only time it becomes a hazard is when I get caught in seriously heavy rain. This time though there's an obscene salting happening in Mississauga. I can feel the salt in my mouth even when I'm just walking. I do...

So... I rode to work today and was caught behind an accident on the 401 and was sitting in the traffic for 30 minutes or so. Thankfully, there was no wind today and someone in a car handed me a warm coffee 😁

Might probably work. I saw a few videos of helmets that are designed to have anti-fog ventilation.

Just watch this yourself and discuss https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/?v=3

Fun fact-- apparently, the headlights on Cyber Truck are useless when it snows. The snow seems to stack on the bumper and block the lights completely. The light strip that you see is basically a daylight running light.

Ha! That'll then fog up my glasses. I tried everything.

For real. I had to politely ask my Uber/Lyft drivers "you don't need high beams in the city, do you?" and a few actually responded with how do you know high beams are on.

One of the worst aspects was when I flipped up my visor to clear the fogging and I could feel the road salt vapours in my throat--yuck! I almost puked when I felt it the first time.

It's no longer fun commuting to work now and the next two weeks forecast has a few double digit negative days. I guess I'm done for the season. See y'all in March 🫡

Happy New Year people. First snow of the year.

How many have you been affected by those in your eyes headlights on cars and trucks when driving in the night? What precautions do you take? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/headlights-led-driving-safety-night-1.7409099

Rode out on Bloor Street today morning to apply for a passport renewal. Every driver and pedestrian was looking at me like I’m hit in the head.. 🥹 The heated grips are really helping. But unable to ride continuously more than 30/35 minutes. Next 10 days seem to be warmer.
