*** REPLACE THIS WITH YOUR ***

	Yes, indeed they are legal!!  In fact, according to the latest
AMA magazine, they are now legal throughout the country.  

	The reason for these "flashers" is to be seen better by other
vehicles.  As you have found out, the bike was MUCH more noticeable with
the headlight flashing (I wish I had one on when the driver of the car
that pulled out in front of me looked at me before turning, and obviously
didn't see me).  They, however, are NOT legal after dark.

     (Perhaps the driver of the bike needed to adjust his headlight a
bit better if, as you say, other drivers were re-adjusting their mirrors
to compensate.)  Anyway, the answer to your question is they most certainly
legal...and hooray for that (my opinion).
