    My bikes so ugly - I could ride naked and people still wouldn't see past the horrid lines of the mighty V-Strom.

    Still - great bike - function over form.

    too true.
    a lot of modern sportsbikes aren't very pretty either,IE:2008 fireblade,but it's still an awesome package.

    Quite frankly, if you were following behind my bright lights - there would be no safer place for you.

    Rode through Edgecumbe the other day and three cars had their lights on highbeam!

    Must be something in the water over there.

    Ooooh, can we have airhorns (like on biiiiiiiig trucks) that would frighten the crap out of any car driver we think is going to suddenly invade our space? (A little preemptive strike).
    Unfortunately we'd probably still be held responsible for scaring them rather than alerting them to our presence.

    I've heard your airhorn.

    Certainly scared me.

    But with the looming effect etc others discussed i believe it would really help most times...

    I had every person from every side street pull out when i had the zxr on low beams (set to correct warrent height etc.)

    I ran it on high beams on stock bulbs and the problem went away and maybe 1 in 40 cars pulled out...

    So yes hi beams during the day.
