If you're going to break the law to be seen then forget high beam, the "ultimate help 4 rider safety" in regards to headlights is a headlight modulator.

And it won't blind other road users.

i recommend to all my customers that they use the highs during the day.. personal preference for me

if im blinding them... at least the bastards saw me



(can they get any more blind?)

I heard that motorcycle high beams close up (twin headlights only) can look like a car a long way off in the in the distance, giving a false impression.

Dunno how accurate this information was....

[The Pastor]

I use low beams during the day, high beams when im out of the city and alone at night, i dip them when im in/see traffic, just the same as when im in my car. I take the view that 'might has right' and aviod cars rather than hope they see me, and will stop.

safest thing to do is ride in jeans. ive never crashed in jeans.

you ride that little bit safer in jeans, fear of ripping up another set of levis and losing skin when you crash does it.

not saying you should ride naked on one wheel everywhere, but increase the risk of pain an your brain works a bit harder.

riding with full leathers giversmost people the motoGP hero brain waves, shit always goes wrong when im wearing full leathers. going to be interesting when i start racing next month.

Pfft high beam, low beam, whatever, dosent help shit when you're pulling wheelies does it?

I do not believe that its a good idea to upset any other road user with that sort of behaviour. You might get away with it, but that driver might end up taking it out on the next motorcyclist that comes along. I sometimes wonder if some motorcyclist have some sort of god complex? Some of the attitudes found on this site would support that. We need to remember that we are only part of NZ's road users. What we do can affect other motorcyclist also. I'm buggered if I want some boy ricer in a semi-high preformance car giving me attitude just because of what some other rider did to piss him/her off...

dammit.. is it impossible to get you to agree with anything? where's your sense of humor etc..

[Bend-it]

Yeah, not sure I've ever been blinded by bikes with high beam. Some trucks look like they have mini suns for headlights, but they haven't done any real damage either, just some irritation...

Just got knocked off my bike by a twit who did a u-turn without looking. Would high beam have helped? Dunno... Maybe, maybe not...

inlinefour> Take a chill pill mate!

I get farked off with any kunt who thinks they have the right to ride or drive around with their lights on full beam straight into the path of on coming traffic. Such tosspots have no right to be on a bike and should have their licience removed for doing it on purpose. I see there are 3 here that do it, wankers! More people with the latest fast growning syndrome, the fuck everyone else syndrome.

What a load of bollox you talk there, have a read about the way your eyes work by day and by night. I suggest that you visit your eye doctor if you are having trouble with bright lights during the day because the rest of us don't. I think the real problem is that you get Farked off too much over Fark all (trivia), another type of doctor required there as well.!

Rereading what I said I cant actually understand what I was saying. I think I was awake of about 10 minutes when I posted that. Na I'm not assuming on how you voted, more what you actually posted...
