early morning is best, all the cagers are in bed…
At night you can’t see road surface changes, water, debris, furnature ahead in the distance to predict road…
+1 on all them points, plus theres alot of wildlife about at night, especially country roads…rabbits, foxes, deer…even badgers!
soon as the sun is up…its game on!

going round london at 4am ish is quite fun
i would like riding at night, if my headlights weren’t so cr*p
I felt the same until I fitted HID. Best 50 quid I ever spent on my bike.
I love night riding - apart from the time the police had a speed trap waiting round the corner for me one warm night, but that’s another story
I love night riding. i haven’t ridden for days now - just nights.
The summer nights are just beautiful for night riding. I feel like I’m riding with the angels, floating and curling around the flow of the roads, twisting contortion along roads and carving up the competition.
When I’m done on the playstation, I love getting out to ride on the bike at night too

rode home at 4.30am last week… beats 4.30pm any day
KTMmartin (13/07/2010) Hmmm depends. Full moon, no bugs, absolutely brilliant.
I rode into Prague taking a scenic route in such conditions, the signs to Praha taking a twisty road through massive soviet derelict industrial factories. Floodlights inside some, with heavy machinery moving around, casting silhouettes against men welding. It was like riding through some post apocalyptic computer game. Superb.
However some of my worst rides have been at night. Collisions with unlit vehicles, unseen rocks and potholes in the road, corrupt officials and robbers out for the start of their shifts… Unless I’m in a first world country I now will not ride at night - it’s when everything goes wrong .
Not with your “NEW” headlight now, do you? ;)
