The mule deer where I live like to jump at headlights. Night time is a bad time to ride around here.

I'm another country roads by day and city at night rider, here in the wilds of hillary clinton's state we have far too many dear, bears, yote's, and other assorted creatures running around....

I go to work at 4:00am on the bike. In the city I love the early morning. Out on the country it makes my butt pucker. Omaha Ne.

I enjoy night riding but I prefer daytime. Easier to see what else is around instead of just headlights.

No way, here in the NorthEast just because of the roaming animals,and the people who refuse to dim their lights on our bad roads.During the day at least the feild of view is so much greater the reaction time is much improved.

Deer, drunks, and unseen road hazards. Naa I'd much rather take my chances in the day. And my night vision is not that good anyway. I'll ride at night. Just not a big fan of doing it.

Won't ride at night here where I live. I was coming home last night (in the cage) from having dinner with my Mom and had to stop 3 times for deer on the road or on the side of the road and it's only a 6 mile trip. It's bad enough riding during the day, I had to stop in the middle of the road yesterday for a flock of about 40 wild turkeys, motorcycle noises didn't seem to make them want to move very fast, stupid LARGE birds they are!
