Thought that over quite a bit. Hopefully it would've gone well. Just ask him calmly about the head light and tell him what almost happened & let it develop from there. Maybe the light was out & he didn't know or (if an older bike) he forgot to turn it on. I don't know how (or even if) I would have addressed the kid issue - though they both had helmets on. In fact the kid looked pretty cute in his miniature captain America stars & stripes open-face & sun glasses, but really not enough protection. My personal feeling is there's 'old enough' to go for a ride and then there's 'too young'. This kid was too young in my opinion - but that's a whole other subject that's been argued in the forums before.

[quote=hamburger;9191508] If you're in Texas that's required. Don't know about other states. His problem could have been a burned out high beam without his knowledge. Had that happen to me as well. When you find out you're like, "holy ****, how long have I been ridin around like this?!". I always check before I go now - day and night.

When a woman almost backed out of a driveway into my path (missed me), I arrived at work and discovered my low beam headlight had burned out. Rode home that afternoon with the bright on (daylight anyway), and fixed it right away.
Those older bikes, you have to turn the switch once for ignition, then again to turn on the headlight.
