Riding at night time, is just an added risk. Dont add any extra risks. Lately,the times I've ridden at night, I worried about those ''rubber slabs, called alegators'' as well. At night, one only has about 75 yards of visibility, the rest is a guess. This time of year, riding at night is a lot more pleasant, but there is that added risk, of hitting a deer, or other varments, and a chug hole, and even a dern 2X4. I saw a 6 foot 2X4, a couple of days ago,atleast I did see it, it was daytime. 'Ya'll take care'' --BJAY-- |
