There is something about cool night air that turns my bike into a growling, barking animal. Unsafe as it may be- it is now my favorite time to ride.
My dad said his Ariels and BSAs were the best in damp, cool, spring evenings. Now I see why.

I can't believe what a difference it makes in the performance of the bike. A five minute ride home can make my whole day.

What is unsafe about night riding???
Some of my best trips have been under the glare of the moon.

Hell, the obnly time i've ever hit the TransCanada coming into Vancouver without any traffic on it was at night 2 years ago. What a ride!!!

GOing to the Nelson Rat Raid last year we left here around suppertime and go into Nelson around 10 pm. Great friggen ride!!! I'll never forget coming into New Denver at dusk, blasting through the Slocan Valley in the dark or coming into Nelson at stupid speeds to hit the pub before closing.
