Spoarts bikes are winkers...

**<Rhino>** · 6th March 2009, 13:51

Sports bikes look like they have two headlights side by side, somtimes they sort of look like evil eyes or even a pair of googly ones!! Every time I pass a sports bike on the road I notice that they only have one light going usually more often than not the right side - sorta looks like their winking, yes winking - not wanking or wankers or anything else??

Why is that???

Daft question I know, but I ride a cruiser and only have one headlight! NOOB

Opps can't even speel sprts properly?? DOH!

I got one that lights only the left on dip and only the right on main - sort of wink-wink like ... but probably more to do with the prior owner had a prob with the relays and being too much of a tight ass to replace them - passed a WOF though

I've wondered this too.

its seams a very common pratice on bikes, ducatis, kawasakis are more known for having this problem.

it annoys me to i couldn't handle a bike which does it, i would wire it so both lights are on low beam

Mine is,... left on dip,both on full.

I can't see them when i'm riding,so as long as they do their job, i couldn't give a rats rectum.

Perhaps it's a safety factor,cause people notice you more when you only have one headlight on,by annoying the shit out of them.

You wanna know why?

Go ask Auntie Helen. It's her damned fault!

It sucks less juice from the battery around town. Thought it would have been obvious. Motorcycles generally have small batteries and the charging system doesn't kick till 1500-2500 rpm.

But spartsbieks ride around town at 6000rpm all the time, no problem with alternator...
