Default night ride alone

Have you ever had the urge to go out riding at night alone?
At 23:10 i decided to go a ride, Ive had a bit of a shi# day today and feel like life's on top of me, i needed time to be alone and think about things, well Ive just got back 01:30 and i must say i really enjoyed it!!
its like having your very own roads with no traffic! I'll certainly be doing that again sometime you chill time dont you agree?

Its ok if the roads are well lit. If they are dark it can kinda be a bit intense.

When there are road lights though its good to help relax I agree

Glad you enjoyed it.

I used to have to do it 5 times a week when I worked night shift. I found that I could scare myself witless on roads that I found quite sedate in the daylight.

I've been thinking about this a lot over the last few nights. I'm yet to act on it though!

My neighbours would lynch me if I fired up the Viper can at this ungodly hour!

I find it one of the best times to ride. I like to get lost the other side of London, have a breather, take some snaps and then try and find my way home.

I've been out for a blast for the same reason, but with my eye sight, my depth perception works a different way to other peoples, and its also slower, so riding accordingly.. I can only go out at bimble pace, but to have observations good enough for that pace i'm working harder than I might normally during daylight hours and pressing on

Can't wait to fit my HIDs

Used to love doing this when I finished work at 3-5 in the morning. No people, no traffic but best of all, no plod. Could hoon around without much fear of hurting others or loosing my license!
