Using highbeam through corners (this may get me some flak)

[joebloggs]

The nights are pulling in and the clocks are about to change so most of our riding apart from weekends is going to be done in the dark

I don't know if you've tried this (it really does work) but does anyone else use their pass switch mid corner?

On an empty road switch to low as you approach the turn and flick your pass switch on giving both low and high together and watch the outside edge of the light beam (please also make sure you make the turn) you'll see the beam go almost vertical, assuming your actually leaning over, but all of the light on the inside of the turn illuminates the road where you need it most.

Now provided your commited to the corner and your actually leaning the bike over you can use the same technique with on coming traffic without affecting them (I've looked into the cars around me during the corner and have seen no extra light on the driver, target fixation my ass) and you have maximum illumination when you need it most.

I've never  had a another vehicle flash their lights or signal in anyway to say my highbeam has affected them.
