This is the best explanation & sounds logical.
....how about others bikes like Kawasaki , Yamaha & Gixxers??

I read somewhere that the reason they designed it this way is because in the middle of the night someone in another vehicle could perceive your dual beams as a car much further away and pull out in front of you.

I have also heard this is the reason behind it, however like many of us know it doesn't stop moronic drivers from pulling out in front of bikers.

Just because

I don't know about where your from, but around here, smoking a bat means you had some reefer. Perhaps that would explain the night vision plan...probably not.

Maybe that was the one bat that was testing your night vision theory. You blinded him with your Midlighter headlight and he didn't know whether to zig or zag.

You had to. Out in the wilderness where you live, headlights attract Bigfoot!
Exactly. I'm gonna sneak up on that sombich and kick his ***.... hence the headlightlessness.

Must mean the same thing in the states because that's exactly what I though he meant.
