Moto Beemer Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I had no idea....I posted this and had a comment about huge fines and such in Europe. Guess I'm just a shitbag American. This was an early morning where I had to meet @Earache to work a bicycle race. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 That looks a good light you have on there. My 3 TDM900s were appalling at night so rarely rode them at night Traded in 2012 for an S10 and what a difference, enjoyed night riding them, if warm enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 In Portugal you can ride with them on all you want but only with no oncoming traffic, with oncoming traffic or other vehicles 100m in front of you, you are obliged to switch to the medium brightness ones. It makes sense to me, I don't like being blinded either. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motobiker Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Even without the threat of fines its very inconsiderate to ride or drive any vehicle at night with high beams on in the face of oncoming traffic. its hardly a great loss to very temporarily switch to dip if a vehicle is coming towards you. and then turn them back on once that vehicle has passed you by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I found it surprising on the motorways in Spain at night they have unbelievably bright retina burning signs flashing at you. Its like they installed them without a night mode. The Enfield Continental has a ridiculously bright headlight on it, I think he said he changed it to LED. I thought Mr Slowly had it on full beam. Gonna have to get that sorted before the off, hoping its just angled badly but what do I know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yen_powell Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 In Germany special highway snipers are employed who will take a pot shot at anyone with their high beam on when approaching other panzers, I mean vehicles. They are sticklers for the rules you know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
