    Full Beam during day. I will dip it at night following another car. Always back to full beam approaching intersections, no matter who I blind.

    on full during the day, and dipped at night. when coming up to certain intersections, i start weaving in my lane. so far, its stopped heaps of cars pulling out on me.

    even with the gn, i had the lights on full time.

    the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.

    When things get bad (around the full moon?) I give serious consideration to riding with my lights on full during the day.

    If they can't see two lights though I don't know what makes me think they'll see four...

    See and be seen, simple really...
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    Whoa! New bike comes with an "OFF" switch for the lights. A new concept for me.

    Can't turn off the light on mine. Comes on when I turn the key to on, comes off when I turn the key to off.
