5000 posts since 2003 glad to be of service to all the MZ RIDERS world wide
and just love to dump a spam poster - in the middle of him posting trash

not riding very much.. traffic here is nuts most cars doing 60 mph in a 40 mph zone
just not safe to go out on a bike here any more

Following a biased and flawed moderator choice (someone posting aggressive personal attacks is rewarded, while my technical posts are removed - behind my back & without any justification!), I have withdrawn from this forum.

never liked high beam in the day time i do not find it helpful

always seems it make it hard to judge speed and distance to a bike running high beam

some of the newer bikes have nasty bright high beams and blind you so you can not judge distance to them

Hi Dave,
So well done with the 5000, great job. As far as the lights go I must agree with Puffs as I always use my dipped main beam and as he also
mentioned new bikes have their main headlight on and you can't turn it off, my Hoodlum has that. Anyway it's everybody's choice.
Great milestone Dave, keep at it, wish you well Alan.
