Default "Your headlights out..."

Anyone get tired of people telling your headlights out for those with lowbeams coming out of only 1 side of there headlights? The older R6's have lights coming out of both headlights while the 03+ only come out of one. I have to admit they are like 2x brighter than the older ones but don't you think it'd look better being symmetrically lighted

OK enough ranting just got told that at a light earlier today.

When people say that to me on my F4i, I tap my highbeam headlight and flip the highbeam switch at the same time, it turns on and I go "Oh thanks alot!"

I got the same comments on my RR. It really sucks when it's Mr. Policeman and you need to explain what's going on to him. I just ride with my highbeams on now. I'd rather get flashed on occasion than deal with explaining it to everyone.

That's funny

"It really sucks when it's Mr. Policeman and you need to explain what's going on to him."

That's sad

Same here. I would rather have them see me than worry about blinding them. High beams aren't really that bright during the day anyway.

I like the driving with the high beam on idea. On my F4i I get that a lot all the time as well. Do you think there would actualy be a noticeable battery drainage with the high beam on constantly?
