I haven't ridden in the 6 months since I moved to Seattle....decided riding the concours in the city with crazy and impatient drivers (Where I don't even like driving my car) would not be a wise choice. I'm getting a place outside of town here before too long and I will resume riding.

Before installing one, check the local laws. Some communities have a law stating no flashing/oscillating of the headlights (think wig wags in emergency vehicles). Even on a single headlamp bike, a device that continually flashes high/low beams is could be deemed illegal in some places and PD will ticket for it, especially in this part of the state

Good point; never crossed my mind.

Once I was on the carpool lane going about 40 mph.  it wasnt too bad then I noticed a light flickering on my left side mirror.  I looked at it wondering what it was.  a byke was flickering the high beams on and off when I looked at it it blinded me as it was a bit dark.  I nearly lost control of my truck and took the guy in the byke with me.

Yeah, see riding in traffic in the dark with your main beam on is a bit daft.
