Night Ride:Love it or Hate it
Ask any rider however they feel concerning riding in the dark, and you’ll hear 2 utterly differing
kinds of answers.
Riding
a motorcycle at night is a completely different experience than riding in the
light of day, and some riders love it, while others will avoid it at all costs.
For some, riding at night is an awesome experience. In less populated areas, it’s usually just you out on the road, which lets you avoid all the madness of daytime traffic and just focus on the ride.

Night riding is
peaceful; with no one around,
you can appreciate things like the night sky, city lights, and empty streets.
And if
you’re one who likes to push the boundaries of the law on your bike, well…it’s
a little easier to get away with that too!
But for several, riding at night takes all the
fun out of motorcycling.
Visibility is reduced
dramatically in the dark,
and on a motorcycle, having the ability to check well is critical;
it’s however you establish your speed, decide corners, and sight all types
of road hazards. The weather changes at
night also; temperatures drop, which increases wind chill and affects how your
tires grip the pavement, and night time fog can make a ride especially
hazardous. If you live in the country, you also have to deal with animals that
become more active at night and dart across roads, which can put even the best
rider on the ground in an instant.
But whether you like it or not, if you ride, odds are that you’ll find yourself on your bike in the dark at some point, so it’s important to be prepared for what you’ll encounter. While there is less traffic and the chances you’ll be hit by another vehicle are lower, night riding brings its own set of hazards that can make a single-vehicle collision more likely than during the day.
So in this article, we’ll go over what you need to consider if you’ll be riding at night and what the most common hazards are, along with giving you tips and advice to be prepared for them. Armed with this info, you can make night riding an exhilarating experience…instead of an intimidating one!
