Default Auxiliary Lamps On or Off While Riding
I usually leave my aux lamps in the off position during the day, but a friend always has his on. Just brought up the subject of how many ride which way. I know there is no right or wrong way, but just curious.

I don't have any on my softail, but I do on my Ultra and I always have them on. The single light that you keep on is so others can see you right? So why not make yourself even more visable by using additional lights if you have them.

So ON for me!

Brights and passing lamps always. I'd rather be seen than dead any day. If I blind someone so be it. I have been run over enough times to know that visibility is key.

On for me. I added yellow lens covers for even more visibility.

(Just in case the M1 Garand doesn't get their attention, lol)
