Its that stupid simple, if they are not looking your high beam and doing dick but pissing people off.

this sounds like the old hd argument about synthetic oil being too slippery so it causes bearing skate.

how is the high beam going to **** them off, if they aren't looking?????

If you are driving at them on the road, where do you expect them to be looking?

Gee..it the 99 and 99/100 % that are looking and driving like they should that you are pissing off.
And most bikes when the high beam is on is higher up then most cars. Its like a distraction till the biker gets by. Of course I guess it's how ADD you are.

I don't use any lights during the day. I rely on my reflectors for people to see me.

Mine stays on most of the time even at night. Never been flashed by oncoming traffic. Don't know why, maybe because I usually use the right hand side of the lane at night? My spot lights are on always as well.

High beam all day. Off at night if I see someone coming. Dual day makers are ignorant in daylight. They're just dangerous to other drivers at night.

Part of your job for you to drive defensive..not offence.

My one question...How do you know it pisses other drivers off? Or are you really just giving us how YOU feel?
