I personally ride with High Beams on during the day, and switch to low
beams as soon as the SUN hits the horizon.   My bike leaves me no choice
about turning them off, but I would still run with them on.  I have a 
VERY bright light ('78 CBX with H-4 Halogen, stock 55/60Watt although I
will probably put in one of the 55/80 or 80/100 units next burnout)

I've had cases in the past of people turning in front of me on my older bike
when I didn't always run with the lights on.  If it's a choice of not seeing
me or be slightly annoyed, I'll let them be annoyed.  Besides, in bright 
sunlight, even a potent high beam like mine isn't that annoying.  As soon as
the ambiant light levels drop at dusk, or even overcast, I switch to low beam,
because there it is VERY annoying and low beam is just as effective.
