Summary: Further confirmation of high beam

Just a note to follow up the discussion on what the authorities (of
Motorcycle saftey) suggest on the subject of High beams.

The October issue of Motorcyclist magazine has a section on the 
various issues of saftey, including the recommendation to use
High Beam in the daytime.

I personally only engage high beam as I approach intersections,
distant rural crossings and the like...at stop lights I have
occasionally noticed the car driver in front of me discomfited
by my high beam.  This occurs mainly at upward slopes.  So many
sources are recommending in favor of high beam use, I think I may
try it.  I don't see a whole lot of riders in the Bay Area with 
very noticeably high beams on...
