Do you have some lights not working, or are you riding with highbeams on all the time? Those would be the most common causes

is your gear black? They might be using their brights in an attempt to see you better at night?

Haven't experienced the flashing before... Are you running HIDs?

Speaking of road rage I was at a stoplight yesterday sitting behind this guy in a jeep. He turned around and started yelling obscenities at me and then gave me the middle finger. I thought he was going to get out of his jeep and walk up to me. Totally weird.

I just stared right back at him straight on and kept my dark face shield down (makes me look a little more intimidating). Not sure if he hates all bikers or if he maybe thought I was someone else.

I only get flashed by slutty co-eds and during the daytime

But really the only time other cars flash their lights at me are to signal me to go ahead of them at a stop

I get the middle finger shot at me a lot as people in cars get mad because they fail to pay attention and see me, like its my fault they almost hit me

Never got flashed though.

You sure they're flashing you then? Maybe they're hitting bumps in the road or something that makes it look like they are
