Good on you guys that ride at night and I hope that your aux lights help you see the critters. I gave up night riding after hitting a deer one night in November 1992. It ran out into the road from the woods to my left and there was no way for me to stop in the distance between me and where he came onto the road. At 60 mph you are travelling 88 feet per second, so if it runs out 100 feet ahead of you, you don't have much of a chance. I braked vigorously, but tee boned the deer and as the bike went down I went airborne, leaving boot polish on my gas tank as I flew off, landing face first on the asphalt. I decided that in a case like that any lights may light up the road very well, but they won't light up the forest and cornfields on the side of the road where they may be running from. I can see where it would be a big help if one were standing way down the road, or even at the side of the road, way down the road, but that isn't always the case.
So, having survived that with a broken collarbone, some road rash and a totalled Concours, I decided that I really don't need to ride at night. If I can't get to my destination by nightfall, I will be stopping overnight. I tell my friends that if you see me riding at night, you have made a mistake, 'cause it ain't me. ;D
