I need to add that this was in the dark - So this guy goes dark, shuts the lights off and is hauling ass up the highway. Son said they clocked him at 172mph - in the dark with the lights off! He said they couldn't see him coming but the radar gun was screaming. There was no way they were going to catch up so they didn't even flip on the lights.........not a very long life expectancy.


BS meter going off on this one. There is no light switch on a modern Bike. They are on with the engine.






Pretty easy to jump a fuse with a toggle switch, just two fuses on my R1 kill the headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals and license plate light.
