Here is an Excerpt:
13. How to Ride a Motorcycle at Night
Riding a motorcycle after dark takes additional skills. Here are some things to think about before you enter the darkness on two wheels.
- Wait until you become a proficient motorcycle rider during the day before you attempt to ride after dark.
- Motorists can barely see a motorcycle during the day. Expect to be nearly invisible at night unless you are riding a white bike loaded with extra lights.
- Plan your motorcycle trips to minimize night riding. As you get older, you'll find that your vision may become another reason not to ride at night.
- Ride with your low beam on at night but be ready to use the high beam to see farther down the road.
- Wear reflectors on your helmet and jacket.
- If you have loud pipes, be more sensitive of the noise level as the evening wears on.
- Be sure to wear clothing that will keep you warm as the temperature drops.
- Be sure to carry a cellphone and small flashlight on the bike.
- Be wary of animals darting out in front of you, especially deer. Be prepared to stop completely if necessary to avoid being struck by a deer.
- Drunk drivers will be on the road with you. Try to be ready to avoid them. Also, don't ever drink and ride.
- Be careful rounding unfamiliar curves where loose gravel or sand may await you.
- Avoid bad areas where residents may attempt to steal your bike or do you harm under the cover of darkness.
