I dont think it is wrong adjusted light, you must remember that our bikes is
very tall. and therefore the light will fall just into the inside mirror of the
car in front of you. My AT has both light on at all time, and that gives me a
lot of light in front of me, so all the four-weeled thincans on the road can
see me and become aware of me earlier.Sometimes in daytime, i also have full
light on, just to make shure they can see me. I few times conserned cardrivers
try to tell me that i have "forgotten" to turn of the highbeam.
Most of the time i use my headlight on lowbeam, but that is because i have
connected a LaserBlinder to the lowbeam wire.
