It isn't bad. I do it from time to time.

Thinking about HID's though.

During the summer I do it, but now it is getting too cold.

32F and sunny is alot different from 32F at night.

I don't mind night riding now that I have a bike with good headlights. The rebel Sucked! I hated being out after dark cause I had to have drewpy behind me or I couldn't see.


But don't mind it now I've done it a few times since that's pretty much the only time I can ride anymore.

I do it sometimes, but gotta be careful of deer and pigs. Generally do it alone.

That sucks and would be terrible for me. I have trouble seeing in the dark or the rain, putting the two together wouldn't be good. I would be SLLLLLOOOOWWWW but would take my time and get to where I needed....just would need a massage afterward from being tensed up.

Well and we ended being longer than I anticipated so I had my tinted visor on as well

That is my problem too. I leave my tinted visor on all the time since I avoid night time riding so when I do get caught it makes it worse... although this Suomy visor isn't as dark as the one on my HJC.

I try to avoid. I always have the dark shield on too. But the HID does make it easier.
