In my work place they call them the five seeing habits. And when used, they do work!! I have 8 years of safe driving for the company and I pull double trailers every night

I do like riding at nght, but around here (southeast Iowa) the deer are as big as buffalo, and twice as stupid.
I ride to work every day that I can (weather permitting) at 4AM. I have to be on the look out for deer constantly, not to mention the possums, coons, foxes, coyotes, and dogs, because the most direct route to work is across back roads. This makes me very nervous, but if I can ride on more traveled roads where there is car traffic I feel more comfortable. I know I shouldn't - deer don't care who they kill - but for some reason I feel safer thinking that a car can "clear the path" for me.

I absulutely love to ride at night. I have produced more than a few flat spots on tires due to elk and moose, and then there was the time I ran over a skunk  Took more than a few days to loose that smell!!. Despite all that, the feel of the cool air, the open sky, and open roads make the night rides fantastic.

When I was a teenager, I would ride for miles,high as a kite on dirt roads on a dirt bike at night only lit by moonlight.....now 30 years later, I am very cautious about riding at night..because of deer, oil,gravel,Teenagers

love riding at night. One of the guys I ride with is big on the " I like to see the scenery" thing. Always pointing out... did you see this? Did you see that? THAT guy rearended me on the ride home from daytona. Thankfully nobody got hurt and I got new freedom duals,taillights,saddle bags (still shopping) etc... I`ll still ride w him ,but we have a new name for him......"Leader" cuz he aint riding behind me anymore.

I really like the ride to work early in the morning. It's not a long one, but sometimes I see wildlife near my property and I enjoy that. I like the stream of cool air before my shift. I also enjoy a good nite ride. Our deer are really small in Florida, but they will still kill you in a crash. I just bring it down a notch or two. Even though my Midnight Silverado has great lights, I don't outride them
