Most of my night riding is done going to and from a street race nowadays...lol...
2:30 to 3am turning up at pre-arranged location, set up the start and finish line, then race, then collect the money, then disperse before the cops arrive...lol...
As you guys call it racing for pinks... (we call it a logbook)... or just for cash, I never lost a vehicle yet...and have always taken the cash home with me......
Dont Ya Just Love A Good Sleeper?
Yep , sometimes work and family and lots of other stuff do limit when yo can ride, so we take advantage of any time we can get to go ride. Laura and I love taking night rides in the summer time. Usually head out after dinner and ride through the canyons or down at the coast for a couple hours.
When I work at the ER, I get off at 11pm. The ride home is the most peaceful way I know to clear my head of all I've seen that shift. The best is when the moon is full. Just have to watch out for the furry road hazards....

Hehehehehehehee.....
Yeah Brother, Always leave 1 saddle bag empty.Ya stop quick gettem home and skinem to save the meat! That's Some Good Eatn Ya"LL..... LMAO!
Though I wish I had more time to ride, I do love the night rides. Out here, riding through the mountains is a blast and even better at night. The roads are clear of all the tourist so its just me and the occasional animal out.
There you go brother, it's all about balance. I ride to work as much as possable. That way I don't have to take my meds.... lol
Hi all. I do a lot of night riding and love it. Mostly because I am riding home from work. I work with medically frail, mentally challenged individuals who often pass away. Night riding through the rural roads helps me to find peace and spirituality.

I love it when the moon is so bright you can turn off your head lights and still see that road ahead. Makes you feel like your just flying through the darkness with no sense of movement.

I've never ridden at night, would love to, but I live in the country (Illinois) and I really don't want to meet any deer up close while riding my bike. If I lived in the city, it would be different. Those of you who ride at night PLEASE be careful.
Absolutely. After working a full work-week, getting caught up with house-hold stuff, and everything else life throws at you, it is hard to find the time to just ride. We almost have to plan on it sometimes. Personally night riding is scary for me. We have all sorts of critters in NH, and not all of them are small. I hear all the time accidents involving Moose and just this morning...a black bear. Yikes!!!!
Ride safe out there!!!
Last year I was coming back from the Dakota's and crossed the continental divide at 3 in the morning. I saw one car in an hour and a half. Just a great ride. I love night riding.
second best would probably be cruising the Pacific Coast Hwy at 10--11 PM north of L.A.
You will have all heard by now how nutty we are with the way we ride here in England...but let me tell you...on roads with no street lighting-like out in the country etc...We Ride A Whole Lot SLOWER At Night In THOSE areas!! ...lol...
We too have lots of fuzzy road bumps here...lol...and I prefer not to get blood and guts burning on my tail pipes...lol...

Nothing better than riding out across the desert at night! Its a shame my eyes are getting so bad that im not sure how much longer I'll be able to ride at night safely.

Love riding at night. One thing I do have is a BRIGHT headlight. Cool late evening rides are the best.

Those new LED Lights seem to be a lot brighter than regular headlights but boy are they expensive. My thoughts are anytime that you can ride is the right time.
