I'll try to stick to that, but every time SVC tells me that mineral is not recommended for FZ, and I should get SS.... this time definitely they would say the same.

Yeah they recommended full synth for me at the 1st service ... all for the sake of money . you stick to mineral .

The oncoming guy gets pissed off and tries to kill someone instead of signalling back, totally understandable to you too.

Do you even know what high beam is for?

excuses you say eh!

Then answer this question

The road is dark and narrow(a two lane). There is no traffic. You have to travel 50km on the same kind of road all the way. Opposite vehicle is on the wrong side of the road. You are not sure whether it is overtaking some other vehicle because his lights are bright as well even if they are in low beam and whatever technical problem he has. He has been on the wrong side of the road for more than a few minutes. Guy not responding to your signal. What would you do.

What if the guy is pissed off. Are you suggesting that you wouldn't do the same as I did that is stop the vehicle to the side. How could you even know that guy is awake or not drunk. There should be some response from the other side as well.

You guys are blindly arguing about high beams without getting the point.

The thing is not about having high beams on or off. The post was about the guy not responding back properly to my signal.

So you guys are saying pissed off guys have the right to intimidate or put others life in danger by scaring them off the road or hitting them. You try scaring a private volvo bus who always have high beams on where you cant know what is road and what is sky with your fz or any other bike and come tell me i did wrong.

you are the guy who has been riding for 8 years and has knows your manners like counter glaring, and does things to keep yourself alive and keep others getting hurt.

There's no difference between you and the other driver. He had no high beam, so couldn't 'counter glare' and so followed his 'manners'

Guy getting pissed off-Understandable
Guys Reaction coz he is pissed-Can be anything from just swearing to a fist fight-"intimidate or put others life in danger by scaring them off the road or hitting them".-so its better not to piss them off.

and yeah i know what High beam is for.I also know that we need to switch the High Beam off when there is an oncoming vehicle.

At the risk of going even more OT than I already have... where is the xPolice ????? this discussion is going no where ....

You are not getting the point still. It is not about me using high beam. It is about the guy not responding when I dip the lights.

Do you know what counter-glare means. It only happens when you have low beam on and you are using a pass switch.

I was having my high beam on and the guy did not respond when I dip the lights for a few(more than enough) seconds. So I had to keep the high beam on to tell him he was on the wrong side of the road.

When an oncoming vehicle comes on the wrong side of the road it is a common practice to signal using high beam that there is not sufficient space to pass through. Any rider would and should know that.

And somebody was saying they know what the high beam is for and need to switch off the high beam. The instance did include an oncoming vehicle on THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD. Is it too hard to understand for you guys or are you not reading the post thoroughly.

Apologies for the OT discussion but, just trying to make a point.

would any of this have happened if you had switched off the high beam as soon as you spotted the vehicle ?

If you do this at night, you'd only make things worse for the oncoming driver.

I did mention signalling by dipping didn't I? Dont bother.

So how would you let them know that you dont have sufficient space or distance to avoid being hit by an oncoming vehicle on the wrong side be it deliberate or it being overtaking another without noticing you, the puny vehicle, on the road?

Just answer this and end of discussion.

If your answer is counter-glare, what I am saying and you are saying is the same. Just understanding is the problem.

I'd slow down :/

anyways, enough of the OT.
peace

Fair enough. I have done better ie, stop the bike
But i dont understand why you are so reluctant on signaling that you have no space and what if you cant make it even when you stop. Think about it.


Joel just messaged me after a few missed calls I gave him. He says the exhaust is almost ready but yet to return from chrome-finishing. Looking forward to it. If any of you guys got it, plz update here.

Thanks for the response ranjith, is it quite common in other bikes too?..... I mean other than FZ
