RE: ..."hey, you got a headlight out"
Use it to embarrass people. Like when the come up and say "Dude, your lights out.", just flip on the high beam, look up and shake your head like they're a retarded retard. I loved doing that when I went to the mall.
"Hey buddy your lights out." he shouts.
"You mean this one?" I reply, flipping on the highbeam
"........."
"Thanks anyway though."
And I would ride off laughing to myself, knowing I just made that dude that "just had to speak up" feel like a retard. LOL.

i don't think i've ever heard of anyone getting pulled over and ticketed for such a ridiculous charge. i also have my highbeams on 100% of the time (i don't like riding at night, so i don't) and have passed hundreds of cops and county sheriffs and they leave me alone every time. I'm not sure if that's just a Wisconsin thing or what, but i've got no problems with the police anywhere i've ever been.

Yes... failure to dim or something like that. Justify it though safety and it shouldn't be a problem. I don't know if anyone has been pulled over for it on bikes. I think cops, for the most part, understand the need for a high beam all the time. I wouldn't turn it off even if I got a ticket. It's just not safe to operate without it. That low beam is weak and could easily be mistaken for a street light or something else. You can't mistake the high beam... especially when it moves around as you change lane position.

isnt there a possibility of getting pulled over with the bright on though? absurd as it sounds

Highbeam always on. I want all the visibility I can get. Cops even tell me to leave it on highbeam. I think their sick of scraping riders off the pavement. I've never been bothered by the police for doing this and if cagers don't like it tough poo poo.

Haha yeah I've had the same exact thing. Two guys standing by my bike and when I started it they say something like "oooh man, you got a light out" then you pull out the "Oh this one??"
Seems like it really puts the know it all/guy who wants to put you down, in their place.
