slows down , cause i got my bright lights on i guess? it was dusk, i would never blast no 1 so her boy friend starts giving me the finger hey i had my bright lights on the rest of the way home & no 1 seemed 2 mind hey do you guys ride with your brights on ???????????? in the day my brights r on

[stoinkythepig]

I leave them on unless I'm following someone for more than a moment.

I always ride with my hi's on...Used to do it because my stock Ninja ZX1000R was so quiet and I wanted to make sure cages saw me...Don't have the same problem with my TLR with D&D's, but I still ride with the brights on...

I only use my brights when it is rainy or foggy (and obviously at night alone ). Other than that I try not to do things that confuse cagers.

I love it; pathetic boyfriend turns around to toss the bird and get's an eyefull of high-beam. Way to go, Beet!

yeah, I keep my highs on most the time too. I'd rather have 'em annoyed at me than be ignored...

[bemused]

hi-beams during daylight, or whenever I'm not following someone at night...

You probably don't want to use them when it's rainy or foggy. Especially in fog the high beam will bounce off the fog and hurt your vision more than it helps.

I leave my brights on all the time. Even at night unless I'm at a stoplight behind someone, or following another bike. I could care less about blasting cages that are going the opposite direction, as far as I can tell the low beams on most cars today are much more blinding than a motorcycle high beam, especially SUVs as the headlights are so damn high up off the ground.

As far as I'm concerned the low beam is only safe to like 35-40mph at night, high beam maybe to 60, so I leave it on all the time unless I'm following another motorcyclist and can hope that they will see road hazards and react, and that I can see them react before I can see the hazard.

I wore out my high beam once already too.

This is why I keep a handfull of odd nuts and bolts in my pocket and keep the plate bent up.

Simply pass them, turn around, flip them off, reach into your jacket pocket, grab a hand full, toss up in the air, accelerate away laughing to the bank.

Works like a charm.
