Steve, having plenty of cargo room is not the issue….having the presence of mind to bring along the right equipment….that’s the challenge.

Peter: Your cross country adventure and blog are great! I need to spend some time going through it. Thanks for stopping in here and leaving your comments about night riding!

irondad: It's curious to observe how our paths crossed in the blog world and my riding experience progresses as your photography experience does. Seems like the universe is in balance.

Early morning rides are nice but I have more and more trouble getting myself out of bed early. What's up with that?

Orin: Bambi is a definite party killer here. She is my biggest fear at night. Slow really is the only management technique that works. In my opinion anyways.

I'll be sure to carry extra food and water for stranded riders!

Ronman: thanks for the kind words.

Conchscooter: you're right--some riders have some odd ideas about what you can and can't do as a rider.

Charlie6: With a sidecar you could easily load up a lot of stuff. Do you haul stuff that way?

Mr. Riepe: I always pegged you for a romantic with a poet's heart. I bet there is a copy of Shelley's Ozymandias laying on your desk next to the whiskey.

Keep working in the night.

cpa3485: Holy shit, I forgot to respond to all the comments here. Sorry!

Thanks for the kind words about the pictures. I still find some fascination making pictures of the Vespa. I have no idea why.

Night is a great time and if I weren't working and had no responsibilities I could easily see myself up all night and sleeping during the day.

Great pictures and night ride writing.
Night riding brings a sense of adrenaline for fear of the unknown. Maybe a rabbit or chipmunk, maybe a deer or raccoon. Almost made it cross-country on a 150 scooter, mostly night riding.

I love riding at night, but the other end. From 3:30 or 4 AM until sunrise.

Your photos are sometimes technically correct and sometimes inspiring. Often times, both. Photos are really about vision, not scientific formulas if you think about it. I think it's vision that I'm searching for these days, now that I've figured out what the camera does mechanically.

You've clearly found yours, I believe.
