Night Rider ;-)

Motorcycling

Had my first ride at night today, 75 odd miles from the south coast back home to Sudbury. A few observations:

  • It’s great fun riding at night, especially on unlit roads. Less traffic, less distractions, more focus on riding.
  • The normal lights on a Honda S-Wing are useless night, on an unlit road you have to use the long beam
  • Fog is somehow much more real on a bike! It’s very there and very in your face, kinda scary at first
  • The A32 going up the Meon Valley is an awesome road to ride, great place to practise turning at speed

I enjoyed that!

Some things don’t change much.

I had the same feelings and observation on my first decent ride (Portsmouth to SE London pre motorways) on my Vespa Sportique back in …er…1964!

Good that you enjoyed.

I enjoy riding through the night and watching the sun rise. :slight_smile:

Oldguy I had a Sportique years ago 8’’ wheels great in the wet. :smiley:
