    i seem to do alot of that in the winter.. due to it getting darker sooner, it does slow you down on the speed.. Ive had some of the most scary times on a trike at night. you really have to pay attention!

    Night riding is so fun. Especially in the winter on full moons, because it seems to be almost as light as day. The light reflects off the snow.
    I came in a little earlier than usual tonight though:


    Usually I am out alot later. Yea, whoever says 2 stroke 250s aren't any good in the mud must suck at riding!

    Same here Raffa....... The snow does give you better visibility on the trails though because it refects the light

    My best times riding have been at night during the winter. Something about the snow and the headlights and the snow filled trees. Also, you don't need as much ice in your coolers in the winter. Me and my riding gang do the majority of our riding at night; summer or winter.

    Yeah I love riding at night in winter time. Expecially when the state declares a state of emergency and you can ride on the roads legally. Some of the best times I ever had in my life.

    Yup, 99% of my riding is at night. One of the first orders of business when I get a "new" trike is to make sure those lights work! Riding when the moon is full with the lights off is great too... reduced speed of course but the woods/mountains are awesome during a bright full moon in the winter.

    How 'bout those wheelies at night!? Can't see the trail / road with the light shining in the trees! Good stuff!!
