High-beams all the time in the daylight, low-beams when appropriate at night. Plus, a side-effect of this is whem a bulb blows, it will more than likely be the high-beam as it runs more often using this system. This allows you to get home at night without getting "blinked" by hundreds of pissed-off car drivers.

RE: SAFETY STANDOWN
Wether you ride with the high beams on all the time is not the point I suppose. To each his own.....BUT...at least were looking at safety here. AND THAT"S the whole point of this thread !

I am NOT trying to bring up a heated debate and I know this has been discussed before, the only item I am curious about is having high beams on all the time - I know both sides of the argument (being seen vs. being blinding) - I was just wondering if anybody has found any hard data that says having high beams on all the time is truly safer. Currently I am a one eyed rider but I'll open that other eye if it can be proven that it is safer. I know when I'm in my cager I HATE bike high beams and it's pretty distracting, so when I ride I don't want people in front of me to be distracted since they are somewhat of a buffer between me and whatever lies ahead...
great post though, being raised under a jet engine mechanic / mechanical engineer I learned to treat all of my machinery with the utmost respect, including cleaning and maintaining.
