Oh, sure, the government "always" makes reasoned and prudent decisions!!
So, just because "you've" never seen such reactions, it's not possible that Lowcountry Joe or anyone else has either?? You're not showing any "proof" of your point of view either. You're just stating your opinion based on personal experience as was Joe. It is what it is and that's Ok!
For me personally, and this us just MY opinion too, I'm not a fan of headlight modulators. I imagine that, like loud pipes, there are times when they make a difference but there are way more times when they just aggravate people beyond what's necessary. I admit that the headlight modulators help the bike stand out in a crowd when they're coming at you but as many have testified to in this thread, when they're behind you in traffic, they get "very" obnoxious in a hurry. It's not something I'd consider putting on my bike.

I doubt a flashing taillight would prevent getting rear-ended by a drunk; may be worth a try, 'tho. I didn't know the flashing headlight thing was so effective, will i be an ******* if i try it?... anything to stay alive!! (hate those in the opposite direction turning left into me: instant death). Loud pipes into an open car window can startle the **** out of someone (we split lanes in California), just sayin'! Probably more annoying than a headlight, imho.

Is there a way, as mentioned by someone else, to turn it on and off? I would like to connect it to my red and blue lights and siren, and rig up an ejection seat with parachute, for last ditch emergencies, of course. Oh, and the machine gun in the Nightrider fairing, i want that, too. (just TRY turning left in front of me)

I would invite someone to put a baseball bat to my headlight, that would be the last swing he ever thought about. It's great to see 23 pages of dialogue over a modulator, it's annoying then I guess it did it's job. What's more annoying? a flashing headlight, or a 17 year old girl texting and driving behind you?

the difference is my post is merely stating my opinion, and therefor i don't need any proof. his post was his opinion disguised as 'facts'......
