Toad Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 OK, I don't know who or where to ask this so Ill just throw it out here. I have seen many sport bikes that appear to have one of two headlamps not on. I guess I thought one was broken or one was burned out. But it just seems I saw too many of these to believe it was true. I received Sport Rider mag today and on page nine there is a Triumph ad. Lo and behold one of the two headlamps appears to be non functioning. What is this all about? Link to comment

Jus' sayin' =8^) Actually we were talking about this yesterday and decided that it started with Ducati. Only, it was a workmanship thing that everyone else thought was stylish so they copied it. The Ducati had to learn how to do it INTENTIONALLLY. Link to comment
russell_bynum Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 high and lo beam..... Yup. It also serves as a personality indicator: If you see that they're not riding with their high-beam on, that's also a good indication that they're not an a-hole. Link to comment
pbharvey Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 My son rides a Yamaha FZ6 with a one headlight low beam, two headlight high beam configuration. About every third or forth time we stop for gas some good-natured person lets us know one of his headlights is out. Link to comment
Toad Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 My son rides a Yamaha FZ6 with a one headlight low beam, two headlight high beam configuration. About every third or forth time we stop for gas some good-natured person lets us know one of his headlights is out. That is finally the answer! One lamp for low and both for high. Thanks pbharvey!
