Q: Do motorcycles have to keep the headlight on all the time?

A: Ahh, music to my ears, the rumble of the pipes of a Harley bike. It tis the season for bikers to share the roadway and Upstate has a huge motorcycle community, so your question is timely.

The answer is YES! In New York State a biker's headlamps must be on whenever the bike is being driven on a public highway. This law varies from state to state. Miles of Smiles!!!
