DDD, Ditto!

 

When I see one coming up in a lane next to mine going at a faster rate , I move into that lane just to annoy them as much as thier rude flashing annoy's me.

 

A friend with the mod H/L had a cage pull out in front of him a few months ago... Her excuse was: she wasn't sure what his intentions were with all that flashing of the lights, so she assumed he meant for her to proceed.... yeah that's a good reason to have one....befuddle them with BS

I never depend on a cage seeing me... I pretend I'm invisible to them, even if I make eye contact. By riding that way, I'm always positioned and prepared to take evasive action.

 

I really appreciate the various opinions on this subject.... appears to cover the spectrum.

 

I agree to driving like you are invisible. But I would still take advantage of the modulator to increase your chances of being seen.

As for the driver that still pulled out sometimes you can't do anything about the real stupid ones.

 

So let me get this straight - you ride, but when you see another rider who is doing something to make him/herself more visible, you purposely pull in front of them to annoy them, as their attempt to be more visible, which is working because you see them, annoys you. I'm not judging you, just trying make sense out of your logic, which makes no sense to me.

 

FWIW--the Edmond, OK police biker safety instructors recommend the use of the headlight modulator. In their safety course they say it's the best $100 you can spend on your bike.

 

The modulator is legal in all states "ON MOTORCYCLES ". And I could give a rats Hiney hole less what cagers think. If they get pissed, good. I stay pissed at the way they disrespect us. I have two sets on my Harley. My back lights so when I hit the breaks and my front light. I also put a 110/125 bulb in front. I've seen the effects of the flashing light with drivers. they start to pull out and stop when they see the light. It catches there eye.
I've used the modulator and advocate it's use. I see no liability issue other than the fact that it might make a person stop talking on that c phone for a second or two.

 

I couldn't agree more with lonewatie!

 

Exactly what i was thinking lonewaite....i wont judge him either, but if hemakes a idiot move like thatbecause of a modulator.....well..... draw your own conclusions.
