Whats with the lights?
Every time i go out, i always see guys riding with one headlight instead of both on? Is there some kind of trend im not catching on to or is it just that everybody blows one headlight?

long enough to be drag racing 170 in town against mustangs ^_^
just not long enough to know bike lighting :P
hahahah, I went to pull into a gated community out here on island, and some Rent A Cop **** was like "you know , one of your head lights is out right"
I cocked my head and was like "No way for real, you sure?" then he looked up at the front of my bike and i just flicked the switch real casually and his partner was like "no dude, thats how bikes are, one side is highbeam one is lowbeam" then he just looked at me all frustrated and waved me through, it was cute....

walk to the closest mirror you can find, look yourself in the face, raise a clenched fist, slam fist with great force into your chin, repeat untill some sense has been knocked in to your head.

I had some park ranger **** with me on my 636 because of the only one headlight.
On the f4i I just rock around town with the headlight off anyways unless it's dark. Otherwise I leave it on and kill the battery :-(

one guy on another forum told a story where a cop pulled him over and threatened to give him a ticket for not having on both of his lights, so he decided to ride around with both of them on. the next night another cop pulled him over and threatened with a ticket for having on his hi beam, lol.
