No, no, no! Winter air has too much moisture. I use synthetic air T6 in the 18 L pail. But I have trouble keeping it from going stale once its opened.

High beam all the time?

My sling psychrometer says otherwise.
Good to know, thank you. Where is the best shop to buy it? Oooohhhhh, one question I forgot to ask. If it has too much moisture, can I use that in my fish tank? I need to get rid of it.

its not just the aim, the highbeam bulb although the same outputs a noticabley higher brightness of light...at least on my bike. If I had my highbeams on all the time other than blinding people that bulb would probably burn out twice as fast.
That's a good idea since winter air is much dryer and I beleive contains a bit less oxygen.

I think somebody said, earlier, that high beams are just low beam aimed higher.....know what mean?
Or know watt i mean when talking high and low beams.

I say we start cracking headlights in protest
Far too many. I'd say that at least 2 commuting days out of five I end up flipping my rear view mirror.
Unfortunately, I bought a new car, and the rear view doesn't flip. Not only that, but it doesn't auto dim, and when I took it into the dealer, they told me to adjust it to be more sensitive, when it was already on the highest setting. Why do some innovations have to be a step backwards?
In the old days most bikes, like my 1969 Norton Commando, had very weak headlights. High beams then didn't seem to be anywhere near As bright a today's low beams. High beams in the daytime was not a bad idea
to help being seen.
I think a lot of the motorcycle training courses starts suffering that riders use highs in the daytime and I believe some still suggest that outdated and unsafe action to this day.

The day I picked up my 2nd bike from Kahuna Powersports, I overheard one of the sales guy telling a noob in his early 20s that just got his first bike, a zx6r, to always ride with his highbeams on to be seen... This was 3 years ago.
I never knew about what you explained about old bikes, though most, if not all, of the high beamers are driving/riding vehicles that were made latest 15 years ago.
Given that stats from the poll, 24% of riders/drivers use their high beams unnecessarily.
