How do you "some" to a ride?

I put yes, but probably a maybe, given I have already ridden at night, and continue to do so.

How do farmer's fields at 0300 sound? Te Kuiti at 0400?

I was hoping you could be the light we would follow wif your JATPS (Just About There Positioning System) - maps and dark dont combine well without a torch...

Not keen on group rides but I used to love going for the occasional late night blast through downtown Perth. Unlike most cities the city centre is not much of a hub for dining/entertainment so it's almost deserted later on. 916SP + 50mm Termi exhaust amongst the buildings was fuggin' awesome.

Some of the best riding is in the dark.
Not to hot, less fuckwits around.

Easier for the "fuzz" to identify though.

i use love riding at night, but the light on the 600 is total shit,

**GSXR Trace** · 8th January 2009, 08:01

bahahaha... do you really have to ask?

Night riding is awesome because you can see if cars are coming around the corner.

**discotex** · 8th January 2009, 08:59

I don't do that much open road night riding and I find it really hard to get used to not being able to see because your light doesn't point around the corners. Also hate not being able to see the road condition as well.

Would probably come along to get used to it depending on times etc.

I'm a "No"

I enjoy riding at night, especially with the moon as bright as it is now.

But I dont do group rides

quite like night riding, but as others said, not really in groups.
one prob is that the front of me bike gets plastered with bugs- the lights attract the fekkers from miles around!
