Re: Landing Light SOP

I agree! I set the mirror to night and have a hard time seeing anything in
the rear.

The lights on in the day thing is good, but I question the high beams. I
also wonder about the legality of having them on all the time. I know the
cops will ticket the Good Samaritans who flash their lights to warn others
of speed traps, based upon some motor vehicle law about failing to dim
lights for oncoming traffic. How would that not apply to motorcycles?
