Default Lights or No lights

So i've just been out a little ride, and as i pull in to the garage my dad starts complaining about my lights not being on, my argument is that look how bright it is out! you don't really need your lights on, his reply was go on any of the forums they all ride with lights on all the time...

so thats what i did, so do you lot ride with lights on all the time? or off when its bright out?

Always on. Anything that increases the slim chance of a cager actually noticing me is a bonus.

On my curvy S I have the little light on all the time. People seem to pull out on me less rather than being fully lit up.

I can't turn mine off (I have the better pointy version you see!), and that's the way I like it.

Listen to your old man, he's been around a damn site longer than you, so probably has some useful advice!

Absolutely..... always on.

Can't turn 'em off on most modern bikes, and there's a good reason for that

Been riding with lights on permanently since 1981 and not had anywhere nea as many people pull out on me in the years since then as I did in the three years I rode with them off.
