Damn Straight voodoochyl!

I'd rather run the risk of pissing people off than being pissed off that I got knocked off (again!).

I always ride with my high beam on. the only time i touch that switch is when I've got a low battery and it won't start with the high beam sucking the juice, so rearly ever.

I strenuously suggest only ever riding with it on!

Only during the day. At night it is annoying and dangerous to other drivers.

I was tempted to 'brake check' an R1 driver the other night because his high beam was so annoying. We all want to be seen out there, but the last thing you want to do is really **** off someone in a cage, as John Candy said to Tom Hanks in the movie splash, 'it is a question of bodyweight'.

I run them 99% of the time. Pulled up to a stoplight a few days ago and an old guy next to me yells out "Hey you got a headlight out!!"
I didnt feel like explaining it so I just replied "thanks".

So I just keep em on now.

Highbeams ALL THE TIME. (Only dark country roads with on comming traffic does the switch get touched.) The 954's low beam looks dim unless you are looking up from the fender. STUUUUPID!!

After 20 years of saddle time I have learned a motto, "If my lights annoy you?, then you see me." I kid you not, I light up sheriffs and even state troopers.






The "one eye" on one side of the bike,....The stupidest thing any manufacturer has ever done to date and yet they all followed suit. My Bandit with one eye and NO Marker lights pushed the envolope of stupidity. I was constantly saving my own life. I fabricated a dual low-beam with marker lights and I never had another issue. Before, I swear they would look me in the eyes and then move in my lane before their brain registered "holy crap that is a bike!!!"
