In reply to Paul Smith. I've always been impressed with the high beam headlight of my GTS. Seems more powerful than my cars. Really reaches out into the night.

In reply to RichardM. Good thing you have the sidecar. Makes winter riding in the dark slightly more reasonable.

In reply to Jordan. Things do look different after dark. Riding is a great way to experience them.

Night riding is invigorating. Part of it is the danger. For myself, I add extra lighting to my scoots. It helps with visibility. It doesn’t fix the problem entirely, but it helps.

Riding in the moonlight or when the aurora is out is wonderful and I look forward to it. But those conditions only exist around here when there is also snow on the ground.

Lovely pictures! Riding at night can be a fun adventure – there’s lots of things that look so different after dark. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Ride in the non-light periods of the current 24 hours, and you soon realize you are not in the landscape, rather part of the existence that is the landscape. Geographic features tend to not exist at a distance rather they appear only in the swath of illumination of the front headlamp. And then you don’t always “see” the world around you passing. Your mind reminds you of what is around you in daylight, however not so, in darkness.
