Violence is the last resort of the ignorant. What size hammer should I
use?

 My headlight went off while riding a few weeks ago. Smacked the crap out
of
it going down the road and it came back on. Searched wiring for 2 hours
afterwards and could find anything wrong. Hope it don't happen again!! At
least I don't ride at night. Guess a rewiring is in the plans for this
winter.
2 guesses on this one: A loose/oxidized connection at the fuse box or
headlight plug, or the filament in your headlight fused back together
after whacking it. Strange as it sounds, it can happen.
