Same thing with the train, when we are taught to drive it is engrained in our brain to look out for other cars, not train or motorcycles. Most people will see the trains and motorcycles but then here comes the guy who has lost focus on driving and is now only "seeing" cars.

In Texas it is legal to ride with your bright lights on to make you more visible on a bike. Since I have an ultra with the spot lamps on each side of the headlight, I always run with the low beam headlight on and the spot lamps on all the time. I figure 3 lights are better than one.
I believe that George Carlin said "Think of how stupid the average person is. Then remember that half the people are stupider."
The same applies to drivers.

More wise statements. You think sun in the sky, is same, as light pointed at your face?

That has to be the stupidest thing I have ever read on this forum. Trains have lights and horns way brighter and louder than any Harley, somehow they still mage to hit idiots.
Maybe try a drum set, might help with those pesky blind drivers.
Seriously if idiots are not looking at you they wont see that blinding light you are shining at everyone.
And "sorry you don't matter" attitude is what will get you run over by a pissed of driver. I for one can't stand it when people think just because they chose to ride on two wheels, everybody else must suffer their shitty attitude.

After I installed my Custom Dynamics Dynamic Ringz, I immediately noticed that cagers at intersections didn't try pulling out in front of me like before the install. BTW, I run low beams during the day.

I dont need 2 million miles to know that high beams are annoying as hell any time of day. If a dumb *** cant see a 1000 pound bike with head light on, having your high beams on wont do a bit of good. Only thing it does is pisses people off.
AGAIN....attitude like that will get you run over by a pissed of driver.

as I said "some states" I don't pretend to know every law in every state but again show proof of a single state statute that specifically allows motorcycle to run brights on all the time or even during daylight hours.

Helmet has no effect on oncoming traffic, high beam does. That's just a silly comparison.
