How many carry spare headlight bulbs?

[hogmemberisold]

We traveled out to Arizona and back, taking a couple weeks to get there and back and man, some of the roads along the way were really rough!

Before we made it completely across lower Texas, one day one headlight bulb went out and then the next day, the other went out... early in the day....

Ended up buying a couple H7 bulbs along the way and felt much lighter afterwards. (> $60.00)

I'm getting a couple H7 bulbs (< $11.00) and will stash them on the bike for any future need.

Needing something at the remote edge of earth can cost ya....

I carried spare bulbs in all my Goldwings. They are easy to change (once you have educated hands that know how) and are inexpensive..... Jim

the next day, the other went out... early in the day..

Did ya know it's best not to touch the bulb with bare hands? It leaves a hot spot.

Been riding since 1970 - never needed to change a light bulb. I do have a shield over my headlight to help prevent a rock hit.

Hope this isn't a start of something new.

Yes, hopefully everyone knows about that..... still good to remember!

Thinking I should throw a pair of latex gloves in with those spare bulbs now....

I always carry a couple pairs of latex gloves in my bike as well as my car..It's smart to do so, for 100 different reasons!!
