1) look up the motorcycle guides for licensure in Michigan, Tennessee, South Dakota, the list goes on. High beams during the day is strongly recommended. North Carolina goes a little more emphatic - "Use Your High Beam — Get all
the light you can. Use your high beam whenever you are not following or meeting a car. Be visible."

So...according to North Carolina: use high beams UNLESS a vehicle is approaching or you are following a vehicle.

Recently our local school bus's have had uber bright flashing white lights put on the roof. Distracting as hell.
I a big yellow school bus needs this, what hope does a tiny HID have?
I have been running HID's on my bike for four or five years. Have to replace the ballast as my main beam turns on and off at random.

It depends on the conditions. READ before you reply. If I rode like ToNERD, I'd be an asshat if I kept my high beam on at night...to the one grandma I was following. But I don't, so MY LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS DIFFER.

That'd almost be funny if you weren't so damn pathetic.

Who said that drivers were paying any attention???? <snip>... I've ridden aprox a half million miles on the streets,and alot of dirt riding, that's what keeps me alive.... It's by almost reading their minds where experience pays off,and if someone happens to see my light,it makes it a little easier.
