Night riding

nighttime riding. It seems like riding at night would not be very exciting
but there must be something to it. Someone must have some pros to report.
Somebody tell us your night riding story or else I will have to spend

Night time is the best time to be out. Fewer cars, fewer cops, it's
cool in the summer. I learned to ride in the dark. For the first month I
had a motorcycle, I only rode it at night. When I finally rode in
daylight, it was an entirely different experience. Talk about culture
shock.
I've had people tell me that they don't like to ride when it looks like
rain. I've had people tell me that they don't like to ride when it's
going to get dark. Well, when are you going to ride then? On perfectly
clear weekends, during the middle of summer, in the middle of the day,
when it is just the right temperature? I guess that might be fine for
people who are happy to only ride a dozen times a year, but not for me.
Night time is fun time. So what if it's a little colder, wear a damn
jacket.

Gee. I live somewhere where that describes about
80% of days. Leaves a lot to choose from.
Maybe you should move.

Hmmm. My headlights shine at the speed of light. My bike will only do
about 130 mph. Should be no problem then.

When you think about it, riding at night is good for a couple of reason's.
At night cagers are expecting to see head lights, so they are more likely to
see you.
They don't pull out in front of you because they look for the light in the
darkness.
They also judge distance a little better at night, if that fast headlight is
coming towards me, maybe I should wait. On the downside if you ride on
friday nights, or saturday their might be more cops out. I got pulled over
and had my license checked, I didn't get a ticket, but the cop said 90% of
the guys riding my kind of cycle"sport bike" doesn't have valid license or
documention. Luckly I was only doing 5 over the limit so he didn't have a
real good reason to ticket me.

If you don't want to risk riding in the dark, you'd better get an early
start. For those of us who work during the week, Monday-Friday would be
right out.

Dunno where you live, but it must be Southern California. Around here,
summer only lasts 3 months. Four weekends a month, say one out of each is
unfit for whatever reason. Thus, only 9 good weekends during the riding
season. If you were the hypothetical person who only rides under such
conditions.

Dude, the length of summer is defined to be three months, no matter where
you are. Pretty basic stuff here.

Mass generalization. Night especially on weekends also includes more
drunks and reckless fools.
And there are those that are so stupid that they still smack into you

Don't ride through Wyoming at night, really bad mojo there! It's like
the entire state was made on top of a cursed native american burial
ground. Bigass bugs, screwy muddy roads, hallucinations at dawn and
dusk, strange towns where everyone has the same furry birthmark on their
neck, too many jacked up trucks. Pure terror man.

Hard twisties are much faster and safer in teh dark, cos you can straighten
teh road out much more in the knowledge of the absence of oncoming traffic
(headlight glare gives them away at much greater distance) But NEVER do this
till its completely dark or you'll meet some idiot farmer who reckons he only
needs sidewlights cos he can seee where he's going.......And only do it such
as to still ride to your sightlines to stationary objects - it only allows you
to discount oncoming traffic

I do close to 50% of my riding at night. For 1999, that would come
out to about 5,000 miles of night riding. What do you want to know
about it?

The percieved speed is far greater so the buzz is too. On very twisty roads,
the actual speed can be as well.

combined 110 watts of light really boosts my vision and appearance to others.
Aimed at an slight angle outwards, I even get more shoulder visibility. I call
them my "Night Vision". Have been stopped by cages and bikes telling me they
how great they are. Mounted that low they don't hit other drivers in the eyes
(like YUVs), and give me the most light on the road. Hope this helps.

I like watching my headlight beam on the tree branches overhead
while riding wheelies at night. I keep the speed down, though 'cause
the deer are out looking for food and sex.

I do about half my riding in the dark, as it is generally dark before I
want to go home from wherever I have been.
Serious twisties can be an odd experience, your entire world contracts
to the bike and the bit of road in the headlamp beam.
Very windy strange roads can be annoying as if you have to brake hard
your headlight throw contracts massively. If you see something
unexpected in the road and slow down as a precaution you have to slow
down more than you otherwise would as it dissappears from view until you
get close (if you see what I mean)
You need a good headlight to do much more than 100mph.

Yeah, AND there's evidence of accidents involving cages and bikes at

I tend to do a lot of my long-distance riding at night -- maybe even most
of it. In early October I rode 900 km from Wellington to Whangarei at
night on 2-lane roads to go to my mother's 60th birthday, travelling
between about 4 pm and midnight. I returned the next night, leaving after
dinner at 8 pm and getting home at 4 am. Both ways I explored some roads
that I hadn't previously been on and I generally tried to avoid major
roads as much as possible.
This last weekend, I rode 700 km each way from Wellington to Auckland to
attend my cousin's 21st in Auckland. (On a brand new MEZ4 front tyre -- I
didn't fall off!) This time I left home at 6 am, getting there at lunch
time, and returned at 11 am the next morning (after getting to bed at 5
am) and getting home just before 6 pm (I stopped a few times on the way --
37 year old body is more of a wuss about lack of sleep than it used to
be).
I think I enjoyed the night rides more, on balance, although I did take
even narrower, wigglier roads in daylight.
Pros:
- no traffic
- less sweating
- no traffic
- sensible cops are home in bed
- no traffic
- when you *do* have to overtake, you can tell if there is anyone
coming around the corner
- no traffic
- construction crews are home in bed
- no traffic
- tyres get grippy but don't overheat and go off
- did I mention: no traffic?
- if you leave after work and arive in the wee hours you can get
some good sleep and get up at a relatively normal time and enjoy
the daylight at your destination rather than wasting it on
travelling the same route yet again
Cons:
- night *AND* rain together is a pain, especially overtaking big rigs
in the twisties
- exploring strange minor roads that turn out to not have reflector
posts is better done in daylight.
- fuel stops need to be planned for major towns (fortunately I only
need one on a 900 km ride, if it's almost exactly in the middle)
- flying insects in the northern parts of the island (I always ride
with my visor up when I can)
- you miss the scenery
My equipment:
- R1100RT
- 100W halogen headlight
- *waterproof* gear

Now this is wrong. I have done extensive research and I can prove that
the universe revolves around my back yard.
During the daytime the sun travels over my yard and at night the same occurs
with the stars and galaxies. If you doubt this I suggest that you come here

Other two words: Earle's forks. Plus with those you
can't drive too fast no matter *how* hard you try.
Best all-around nighttime riding gear: the largest, highest
wattage headlamp you can find. Run the high beam all the time
and shine it right in the cager's eyes. The H4 130/80 halogen
lamp in a 7 inch housing works just great.
Stuns 'em so much they don't know *what* to do. Make's 'em
freeze, just like the deer in the headlights.

Just felt like saying that Mr. B [1] and Dunkelzahn [2]
have very, very bright headlights. They're extremely
good at night.

What'd you say?
While it may be true the sun revolves around Texas, the whole universe
revolves around me, wherever I happen to be at the time.

Damn! I knew something was amiss!
I put in one of those new Philips Halogena bulbs.
That's gotta be it.

vehicles in there, and not one of them legally able
