My headlight sucks big time, so unless the OM is leading with the ZX-10, I stay inside at night. I did work afternoons, but the roads are dead at that time, so whizzing down the interstate at 1am was OK.

I try to avoid riding at night because of all the deer around here but other than that it doesn't bother me. My night vision definitely is not what it used to be either but still not too bad yet.

Have not done it since...

I still never got that fixed. :whistle:

So yeah, I guess you could say I avoid it. :lol:

I avoid it if at all possible....between having bad vision and the extra hazards on the road (animals mainly) I just don't bother to ride at night. Anywhere I go is a morning hill country ride or the track anymore.

I tend to ride on the highway at night.

Right now the deer are in rut. They're only thinking about one thing and it's not vehicles michael jackson

Night riding now is "old man sunday drive" speed.

I don't mind riding at night, I actually like it, less cars out and its cooler here. i don't ride the twisties though at night since I dont' want to hit a donkey or a burro, so its mostly commuting.

And yes my night vision is getting worse too. I can't see street signs until i coming right up on them. But I also have astigamatism. (sp?). It took me forever to find my friends house yesterday since I kept having to pull U turns.

I end up riding more aggressively at night. Otherwise love moonlit rides on nice summer night.
