Does anybody ride with the high beam on during the day? And do you think it helps other traffic see you or does it just annoy them and not make a differance?

 

I ride with the low beam on during the day. I'll use the high beam at night as needed. I find it anoying when I see others using the high beam while driving towards me. If I see someone who I think may pull out I flash teh high beam at them to get their attention though.

 

I ride with the high beam on during the day since it significantly increases visibility. Will use the low beam at night.

 

I ride with the high beam on during the day. I don't care about pissing someone off near as much as I care about being hit!
They'll get over it WAY before I heal if they "don't see" me.

 

High beam always. You can't be too seen as far as I am concerned. It's your life, you decide.

 

High beams only when some dummy in front of me won't move outta the left hand lane, where they been riding for the last 1000 miles. Gets their attention.

 

High beams with modulator when necessary.

 

Ride with the high beam on all day, and as much as possible at night. It must not be aimed in such a way where it would bother anyone, because I've forgotten I have it on at night and haven't had any oncoming cars flash me, so, I assume they don't notice.

Do I think it helps me be seen during the day. Yes. If not, nothing lost.

Do I think it might annoy people? Yes. I hope it does. If it annoys them, they are seeing me. If they are seeing me, they are less likely to be pulling out in front of me or doing something else to cause me death or injury. I don't know those people. I'll probably never see them again. I don't give a rats *** if they're annoyed.

 

+1 otherwise on low beam, dont want to make the voltage regulator work harder than it needs to. Ive replaced a few HD V/R's and they always seem to go out when Im far from home and without warning.

 

I ride with the high beam on during the day, when riding the Sportster. The Wisconsin Motorcycle handbook suggests riding with high beam during the day.
