I'm sitting here think'n that very rarely, have I ridden my trike/bike during the evening (night time) So I'm wondering if I'm the only (or one of the few)that NEVER ride at night..............(no actual reason why I never ride it nightly)

We don't purposely avoid riding at night, especially when riding in the local area. If we are out to dinner and it it is getting late it is no big deal. Last year we made a long, solo night run into the middle of Michigan after we got off the SS Badger car ferry. For those of you who are not aware, the middle of Michigan is pretty close to the dark side of the moon. It was threatening rain, street lights were few and far between and we pushed as hard as I felt comfortable with, much of the way 2 lane country roads. In the end, we missed the rain and arrived at our hotel with no problems of any kind. It wasn't fun, but if had to to do it again I would.
Like most, we don't make a habit of riding at night. Still, here in Michigan, during the summertime, it is still light until 9:30 or so. So, the weather is pretty nice during those hours - and we ride.
PFWIZ - haven't seen you here is some time. If you went to the Bagger - my bet is you passed right by me on the way home. Next time, let me know - we will have your "hotel" room and dinner ready.
For some reason I cannot send you a personal message...
If I remember correctly you told me you were planning on doing the Gettysburg thing in Aug? Is this correct? I also have that planned, depending on our travel dates maybe we can ride out together...
We don't ride much at night because of the roads and all the elk here in the Packwood, WA area. We just purchased a 2008 Gold Wing Roadsmith and look forward to increase our riding. Plan on touring a lot this summer.
