Argh! After reading Tigerblade's post, I got a little steamed. He brought up an excellent point that hadn't even occured to me prior. Once everyone (bikes & cages) has lights on during the day, everyone will become accustomed to seeing them, and no one will pay any attention anymore. This is a very sad fact. I can remember waaaaaay back in 1985 or so when I first started riding, most bikes had an ON/OFF switch for the headlight. The "cutting edge" motorcycle safety literature back then all said stuff like "for increased visibility during the day, turn on your headlight". Great advice both then and now. Having headlight(s) on during the day is a good idea. It does promote increased visibility. It used to be that motorcyclists had this little trick to themselves. It's goona be interesting to see how the accident stats go up in the next 5 years or so when every car manufacturer equips their cages with DRL's. Again, I say ARRRGH!
