depends where i am, never have highbeams on during the day.
night or if im riding inm a low lit area say nasho or the valley i will have them on high but turn them down as soon as i see another car coming...

high beams shit me to tears so i try not to have mine on to annoy others...

i think the one light on at a time is so it doesn't look like a car in the distance.

when you have both on at night time at a quick glance to a stupid driver you look like a far away car and good to turn in front of?

Thats what the guy at hart said about Honda's anyway.

errm yeah the latter of the two... because it still seems like they have a km to complete there overtaking maneuver rather than 100 meters.

I dunno, but i've never confused one motorcycle even with two lights on as a car.

I mean, Two headlights look like one from far away.

High beams would make it look like a big bright one headlight.

I Use the highs only when its dark and raining. I commute and when its raining doing anything to help you be seen is a bonus. Highway use.. no stop start shtty roads.
