I am a night rider and I love it.... it's the only time that I can get out and not feel like I'm shirking my duties as a father and husband...before night riding, I had to check everyone's schedule and homework and determine if I could ride that day.... now, I wait till everyone is in bed and I'm out the door... At first, I was a little freaked at all the animals and a few homeless people roaming the MUP...but now, it's my get away or time alone and I look forward to it. Picked up a magic shine, a niterider sol and multiple flashers....and now with winter coming, I snagged a pair of Lake MXZ 302s for $150 ... Night, cold, rain....love it .... oh and since I switched to night riding I've dropped 20lbs in 2 months......it's changing my life (and wardrobe).
