I have a set of Yamaha Driving Lites and would like to replace the sealed beam bulbs with Halogen or better sealed beam bulbs. I would like to keep the wattage down to 35/36 watts. I have looked at some sites and they have them but they show flood, wide flood, spot, narrow spot, etc. Which kind is the best for the driving lights. Can you please advise what type you think I should be looking for. I am basically looking for the best light possible with a straight replacement lamp and still using the Yamaha lite bar holders. I have searched the sites and have sent a private message to one of our members but I know technology changes daily and possibly someone has tried something lately that works well. Thanks Dana

How has it been? Is everyone ok?. I heard about the flooding there. They compare it to Noah's flood.

I worked for 2 hours this evening rerouting the stream behind the house. The culvert is completely plugged and covered. The last flood I had a foot of water under my house from the hillside run off.Recently water has been flowing into the back yard and pooling where my septic field is.I took the FEL and cut a 4 ft wide channel across the dirt road and back into the original stream path. Were anticipating 2 inches of rain over the next day or so and the ground is saturated now.That private drive behind my house is no longer maintained by anyone and the road is a real mess. A two foot deep channel has been bringing the run off my way for almost a year. My neighbor stopped by after I was done and said you know your loosing your foot bridge tonight. It seems the neighborhood A$$#%#@^ pushed a 7ft wooden school bus shed over the hill into the creek just above my bridge last night.So tonight when the flood comes we may loose the foot bridge. Last time it was taken out a upstream chicken house done it. Guess we will see what happens in the morning. This much I know NO RIDING ANYTIME SOON.

Not sure on whether this is a good deal..... I have found a 2001 Yamaha Silverado for $450. It looks great from the pics. The down side is that it has flood damage (salt water) from Hurricane Ike. Is it worth the time and effort to buy a salt water flooded scoot?

Lowes just put there wood stoves on sale 50% off. I just bought a 1800 sq ft model for the camp. Now I can camp all year round.A man has to have a get a way dog house.Some day it will end up in a log cabin or a big first gen garage.We got 7 inches of snow yesterday,Ice last night, and a flood today. My yard is a mess,vehicles on the other side of the creek and were walking out of here.Now if I can get up that icy bank on the other side of my foot bridge. I got to get MamaMo at midnight from work.

New here, haven't got the picture thing worked out how I want but I am not good with computers..they hate me. We work our way down from northwest Cincinnati to RT52 that follows the Ohio River,since RT32 in OH and the AA highway in KY have opened this road is now a great road with very little traffic other than locals. Very scenic.Well we make our first "p" stop at Point Pleasant at the rest area and home of Grant's birth place...nice little stop [ATTACH]21645[/ATTACH] We are on a XS 1100 Yamaha and 750 Honda.A little museum is across the street to see Grant's early years,we were a bit early so it wasn't open. As we travel east on 52 we stop at Meldahl Dam,no barges going thru at this time,we were fenced off from getting any closer than the parking lot,maybe 9/11 had something to do with this,had a little obervation tower we used to go up in. Back on 52 we ride along some nice road till we drop of to pick up Boudes Ferry to take us to KY... [ATTACH]21646[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]21647[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]21648[/ATTACH] To cross over it was $2 a bike,it must be run by KY cause if OH ran it there would be a tweleve foot high fence on it to keep you from falling off. What is really cool about this ferry is the engine house,he is facing forward as he pulls up and when ready to go back the whole engine house turns around so the actual ferry never turns...neat as shti. So we are now in Augusta KY,ya gotta visit this old river town,sit by the river or just walk around,put it on your list. We find RT8 and it is empty of traffic,follows the river,smooth,scenic....it don't get any better.As we travel RT8 we miss the Rankin House in Ripley OH,it sits high above the river and has a great view of the Ohio River on a bend. We hit Maysville KY and stop to see the flood wall and walk around on the river side,neat town..it is growing and why did we want to see the flood wall? Size perspective.....[ATTACH]21649[/ATTACH] Well we cross back into Ohio and on RT 52 again,as we keep travelling east we pass one of my favorite state parks,Shawnee State Park,the lodge is great and the area is beautiful,the trails I am told are used to get in shape for those who plan on hiking the Appalichian trail. We finally make it to Portsmouth to see the flood walls,1/4 mile long and depicts the history of the area and on the river side is a park and you can just enjoy the river.[ATTACH]21650[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]21651[/ATTACH] From there our final goal was Hocking Hills State Park to meet up with a few Harley riders,some great roads getting there,ya can't go wrong in OHIO.We spent the next day riding around the area,fantastic place to visit,easy walking trails..but would stay away from the weekends [ATTACH]21652[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]21653[/ATTACH] First report,click on the pics for a bigger picture..I hate computers...This trip was last October and will try to make it again this year as I had a great time. Bill XS1100 Yamaha..It's Evil, Wicked,Mean And Nasty.....
