    Actually when I got up this morning I was going to delete my rather rash statement, but since you quoted it, oops.

    I'll try to figure out something....

      Looks great so far guys. I thought I'd picked a flop of a theme at first. Can't wait to see what else you guys come up with.

      Sometimes with a busy week, night time is my only opportunity ride. I don't mind since traffic is lighter and we don't have deer issues like other places. Well, on the mountains we do, but I was super careful going up the Sandias the other night. Oddly enough I didn't see any deer that night.

        Just had a small buck walk though our yard this morning. Didn't have a phone or camera on me at the time....LOL.

          I had similar thought that I dont ride much at night.
          I will share my next thought, "well, some night, how far do I have to go to find a light....? Downtown? Well, lets see, oh, there are lights on front of garage, there is street light near end of driveway."
          Then next thought after that was "Dorkburger does a lot of night shots, anything I do will pale to that."
          But I will do something.

            One of my damp commutes home last year, as the date stamp shows. Can't wait to be back on the 850 next year!

            Also, this is my computer background at work, and the customers I was helping the other day told me it was their truck. They were a little weirded out but whatever hahaha

              As I've noted many times life is busy with (as of a few weeks) two teenagers, an older house, a big dog, etc. I'm sure many can commisreate or recall.
              The night ride is often my only time to get out. It serves sometimes as therapy, sometimes a joyous nightcap, always fun. The mental benefits outweigh the added peril, plus for me there's just something about trolling around quiet, less travelled streets at that time - especially on Sunday nights which are extra quiet. Ever since I was a kid riding a BMX bike, the night ride has a always had an allure.

              As far as a topic, I've avoided it here and in The Riding Game, knowing that it's not a popular time to ride for many. I'm hoping for cool shots. It's a good time to play with lighting as Trevor did with strategic garage lighting.... I still have difficulty capturing my night world as I see it with the camera, but when it goes right, it's wonderful.

                    Well, ah, guess I need to find something else.
                    But, weather forecast is for 30s and low 40s all week, rain a couple days and they used the S-word for later in the week.

                      When I went out on Thursday I was toying with the idea of bringing my battery powered work floodlight along for fill light. I still may experiment at some point.

                          Spent the last 1.5 hours searching all devices for a picture. Only to realize, I done have a single picture of my bike at night... And dammit if it isn't too freaking cold out to get one...

                                Hey, a real camera. Long exposure, must be tripod. Hey, that is getting serious. Good results.
