Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Asphalt, the final frontier; these are the treks of the Kawasaki Voyager; its continuing mission to explore strange new roads, to seek out new sites, new bed & breakfasts, to boldly ride where no one has ridden before.

By "Mass Law", do you mean Massachusetts Law? Use a 30 or 40 Amp Automobile relay. Splice one end of the relay coil to the low beam bulb's 12 Volts power wire. Ground the other end of the coil. Connect one end of the relay switch to Battery +12 Volts through an in-line fuse (10 Amp, 20 Amp, i.e., size recommended by the Aux Lighting manufacturer). Connect other end of the relay switch to the Aux Lighting +12 Volts.

When low beam is switched on, electric current flows through the relay's coil, energizing it and tripping the relay's switch on. When low beam is switched off, relay de-energizes tripping the relay's switch off shutting off the Aux Lighting.
