To Anonymous- There has been a Federal law that prohibits Motorcycle Manufacturers from selling motorcycles without a continuous lighting system since the 70s. This means that headlights on bikes cannot be turned off, just so you know what you're talking about.

Let me say that Mikes family has my sympathy. There are a lot of car verses bike crashes, mainly because people in cars just don't take the time to look for motorcycles. I have 5 Lights On The FRONT of my Harley, that are lit at all times,yet cars still pull out in front of me. It's like this, You have to Look, in order to see a Motorcycle. NO ONE is in so much of a Hurry, that they can't take time to LOOK.
