Flashing Headlight! WTF
Is it just me or do other people who ride feel the same way about riders (cruisers especially) who have their freakin headlight flashing CONSTANTLY! I thought it was against the law to have that going on, someone said once that it was impersonating a police vehicle. Same with having blue or different color blinkers and lights on your car or bike....
I just wanted to put it out there and see if anyone felt the same way I did about the situation. If your going to be on a motorcycle then yes.... you have the chance that your not going to be seen by some stupid, head up their ass driver but there is still no reason for having your headlight flashing constantly.

yes I hate it..
and yes I think a sport bike would get pulled over for it.
but harleys can ride drunk and cops look the other way, so no cop will pull one over for the flashing headlight.

They don't bother me to much. I've only seen them during the day though. If they flash at night also then that would probably piss me off.

I agree, they are a distraction and not necessary if you ask me, but I actually watch where I am going when I drive. I understand the idea, but just find people that have the modulated head light and those that ride with their brights on all the time annoying and even dangerous in my opinion for the distraction and/or blinding affect, especially at night.
Now brake lights that flash patterns I feel differently about as they do not blind oncoming traffic or distract you when you catch a glimpse of a flashing light in your mirrors. Those I think may actually help prevent rear end accidents by catching the attention of drivers stopping behind you. I actually manually flash my brake lights until someone is stopped behind me now (I got rear ended on BayShore once upon a time).
