Night riding/driving

[Dont_die_wondering]

anyone here like driving/riding at night rather then day? , i mean on a fine night, i find driving quite relaxing,and theres less people on the road,plus its quiet, it can be a refreshing change

Yeah i love riding at night......

Dunno why?

[ZorsT]

No cagers to get in my way...

Its GREAT!

I enjoy it more if i know the road though. Visibility is the only bad thing

[Dont_die_wondering]

i think this calls for a poll

If the weather is fine and I know the road then definately night. If it's a quiet, still night and not too cold then I will sometimes go for a quick blat. It's refreshing!

On a fine night I don't mind. Visibility at speed is the only problem and glare off your visor from oncomings. Prefer daytime as you can see any threats from all around. Black cows, on blind conrers at night aren't a good mix with bikes.

I much prefer to ride my bike during daylight hours. For some reason however I prefer to drive long distance in the car (traffic, less distraction etc).

Daytime for me, reason is cos i have two new lens implants and headlights give me a sparkly laser light thing, would suit some i know but its a bit annoying, at least during the day i have my tinted viser and or sunny's...

my eyes are a bit sus at nite so prefer day

[oldguy]

don't mind riding at nite, ride abit slower, alright if you know the road helps heaps still have to be careful have a tendency (hope I spelt that right)to out ride the headlights if you go too fast

Daytime, can see better whether its wet or gravel on the road or someone dunkin donuts and wondering if there quota will be kept with such little traffic.

I love to ride at night if it's not raining....like last night and only in warmer months too. Had some incredible night rides with a group of 4-5 other mates The Old Te Aroha rd is a great one. Anywhere there's big whoop-de-do's you can see if there's anything coming so can give it a bit I like to go last with this particular group of mates and we space ourselves out so can see further ahead.

On the downside you do have to be very weary of wandering stock and possums, rabbits, hares and even hedgehogs When you see them, try to NOT keep looking at them, or you will hit them, which makes a mess.

The best part of the Grand Challenge is the night stage. It's indescribable being out riding when the world wakes up.

I enjoy riding and driving at night,it's nice to have good lights....but I've done it without.

Yes it is a refreshing change, but there's no way i'll ever like it over day riding! Night riding is far more dangerous, and because of reduced vision you can't ride as fast and open the bike up as much as you might in the daylight...i guess if you're a Nana rider you'll probably prefer the nite!
