My DR did that, but i think it's headlight was focused a little too high

I prefer driving during the days because my eyes are not that good.

fong we are asking about riding yer bike not driving your car (no you dont drive a bike you RIDE a bike).
Anywho I have now been on day shift for 3 months now and to be honest I feel much safer worrying about a deer running across the road at night than I do riding in the day. No one drives the speed limit everyone drives under the speed limit cept the rare few like me that like to do 5-10 over. Then they ALL wait till the last second to pull out in front of you. I have had to miss sssssooooo many more people during the day than I ever did in the last 3 years riding at night.

Was wondering the same thing recently - Day or Night
Pretty much all the accidents I've heard about around here this year have been daytime. Now; is that cuz there's more bikes & cars around during daylight hours - don't know but, it's like 90% daylight hour accidents for motorcycles around here - and there's been a lot of them this year. 4 riders killed in less than a week two weeks ago. Of those probably 75 - 80% are cars turning left not seeing bikes coming.

I think daytime is definitely safer. Also, wear light color clothing so you can be spotted easily.. Just my $0.02
