I keep mine on bright, but I generally don't try to aim it in someone's mirror unless I wanna do it on purpose

 

Good thing I'm not wrong, just sayin....

 

I always ride with low beams day and night for the simple reason that the auxiliary headlights (passing lights) on the RKC shut off when you hit the high beams. I'd rather have 3 lights for the oncoming vehicles to see than one.

 

I used the bright during the day when I ran the old H4 bulb. With my new FuelMoto LED, I don't need to.

 

I ride dim lights during the day as the spots are more visible during the day than the headlight. I have a 2014 Road King with the Dual Halogen headlight. I plan to change the spots to LED's this summer but leaving the headlight alone. The Dual Halogen seems plenty bright to me and I don't think going to LED is going to make enough difference to justify the cost.

 

OK, how about unnecessary escalation of a minor matter?

The fact is that you had a choice of how to react. You didn't say that your life was being threatened. Instead of diffusing the situation, you added fuel to the fire.

Many people see the act of diffusion as a blow to their ego, manhood, or whatever.

 

I resemble that remark

 

When the sun is at my back and the oncoming traffic is blinded by it, I have mine on bright. MAYBE it'll help them see me.

Oh...I have a Day Maker too.

 

I run a DayMaker and I mostly leave it on bright. I've seen some mirror adjusters on occasion and I'll go dim, but back to bright. F'em. I want to be seen day and night and I'll take the edge just in case it makes a difference.

 

I would love for any cop to try to ticket me for running my hi beam on a motorcycle during the day. Pretty sure every reasonable judge out there would laugh at such a ticket.

A high beam on during the day does nothing to blind or affect other drivers vision. But it does make my motorcycle more visible in the hopes that when the idiots look up from their smart phones before pulling out in front of me they will get a glimpse of it and hit their brakes.

If I had a much brighter than stock headlight, I may reconsider my hi-beams, but until then, my hi beam is on all the time until the sun goes down.
