I'd certainly like to see the statute they'd write that under.

I have a RG and put lights on my crash bars and ride with them on at all times, just trying to be seen.

I'm still waiting for somebody to fill me in on proof that it's NOT legal.

No reason to have them OFF, unless you are using HIGH beam (and there are ways around that to keep the spots on)....or if your charging system has crapped out and you want to conserve power.
