I live on an Island in the Northwest and we have deer standing on the road or walking across the street all the time. I run my headlight and passing lights at ALL times. Especially in the daytime. I want people and animals to be sure they see me coming towards them. To that end, I changed out the 5 watt bulbs in my passing lights to 50 watt bulbs. Cars flash their lights at me in the daytime. It lets me know they are seeing me. That coupled with the LED's in the rear turnsignals, and I know I am seen......

- May 02, 2010, 01:13:42 AMLovin my 01/800 after a few weeks of owning it. I rode my 650 Yamaha for 35 yrs until the Drifter came along. I'm impressed with the brightness of the Drifter headlight. Last Oct. I was on the freeway, 2am, alone, slightly to the right in the slow lane, on a dark section of road, 65mph. Someone had hit a deer and I saw it when it was about 15ft in front of me. I think I had enough time to to say "f...." and I clipped it with the toe of my boot as I went by. I stopped about 300ft down the road and thought about dragging it off the road for safteys sake when a transport blasted it. I rode with my high beam on ever since and have added spotlghts to the Drifter
