No squid why would you keep your high beams on in your car??
Riding a motorcycle and driving a car is completely different as you know, not too sure why you asked that question....

I keep my highs on in my bike during the day, at night, turn em off...
Squid since you asked.. low beams in the car lol

Many other motorcyclist (sportbikes/harleys) keep there highs on during the day too, at least from what Ive experienced

why would you keep your high beams on with your bike??

I asked the question because people on here are stating its ok to leave their high beams on at night, and they don't care if other drivers are affected by their highbeams. I was just wondering if they are inconsiderate to others only while they are on their bike, or all the time. To the driver coming at you the other direction, a high beam on a bike is just as bad as a high beam from a car.

You may have skipped over some of the discussion going on since your in agreement with most here about turning the highs off at night. The question was directed at those keeping the highs on at night.

Was driving home after dinner with a friend and came to a light. A guy on a GSXr stopped at the light coming towards us with his HIDs + highbeam on. I flashed my lights, which he ignored. A thought that flashed thru my mind at the time:

Jump the light, turn left in front of him and swear I was blinded rendering me unable to judge the distance.

Obviously I didn't. But I'm a rider and that's what went through my mind for a millisecond. Imagine what someone who doesn't give a damn might do.
