I've only ridden at night a couple of times but love it. Hardly any cars around so the roads are virtually your own. The headlights on SV's are pretty good too so that helps an awful lot. I used to have a Fazer and a tealight candle would have illuminated the road ahead much better than the lights on that thing - riding in the dark when it was raining was not the most fun I've ever had.

So, who's going to volunteer to organise the first midnight org rideout then?

I believe they call it "dogging"?

Riding around London past mid night on a nice, dry night is great fun.

Can be a bit naughty though....

In town I always have one eye on mirrors, once made mistake of blatting past some 'stani on a quad in the town center, hit limiter in 2nd on main street and everyone in the queue for the nightclub ducked for cover

So now I'm a bit more wary of going through town.

Out on open roads though it's excellent, I have been known to turn lights off on a moonlit night, you can see any cars coming from miles away and go nearly as quick as in daylight. Just watch out for rabbits and sheep.

i don't like night rides.....very wary...do em a lot. Have to go to work in the dark and home in the dark in winter. However i do like the ride home from work in Autumn as the suns just coming up, and if its a nice day ...i go the long way round, no matter how tired I am

Once went down saddleworth moor with YC in the dark......I papped me pants
