Headlights
Been using my 650 Burger at night this week for a 10 mile A/B road trip.Oncoming cars flash me thinking I haven’t dipped my lights ( they get a shock when I flash them back lol) anyone else encountered fuckwits in cars doing this ? Had my beams checked and they’re fine.The bright lights were one thing that I liked when considering purchase

Re: Headlights
I have had that on my TMax, but equally I find a lot of cars modern lights are too bright and look like they are set too high, some are even so bright that they mask the fact they are indicating.

Re: Headlights

Re: Headlights
Headlight aim is now part of the MOT, they claim to reset my car ones every year
only to moan about them the next year, they don't charge me so I just nod sagely
and carry on.
Never seem to get flashed though in car or on bike.
Those led cycle lamps they fit now can be eye burners though.

Re: Headlights
On a vaguely similar subject, anyone been flashed because they have their lights on in daylight? It's happened to me a couple of times, and once the driver made it quite clear what he meant by pointing at my lights as he passed. Obviously unaware of lights being on all the time on bikes.
