- Thread starter frugalman
- Start date

Wow, I do this too. I'm up at 4:30 most mornings for work and my exhaust is just screaming loud.. Not to mention its carbureted, so it takes a bit to warm up and the choke makes it all that much more louder..
I also ride anytime of day or night. Don't see what the big deal is whether its 10 PM or 3 AM, it's dark regardless.

Own a 250 with a Two Brothers slip-on (no silencer), I fire my bike up at 6:30 ish Mon-Friday and let it idle for a few minutes. If I go for a joy ride really late in the night, I'll push my bike to the street and start it up and keep my RPM's very low. Never had a problem..yet.
Not relevant, I just like this video[video=youtube;xGyKBFCd_u4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGyKBFCd_u4[/video]
Years ago in the old neighbourhood I did the same. My CBR and VTR were both loud. Mostly older people in the neighbourhood or young couple with babies/ young kids, so I tried to be respectable. Kept warm up time/running noise to a minimum. On the way in i'd cut the engine a few doors away and coast into the driveway and tuck in between the houses silently.
Never once a complaint, a few compliments/thanks for being quiet and such. *wipes nose* lol

I'll ride at any time. I just won't ride as aggressively when it's too dark out.

I'm a snowmobiler, and when we do weekend group rides, we sometimes have to go in to the early morning hours to get to our next stops. Kind of cool when it's the middle of nowhere, not even the glow from towns in the distant sky and just you and a few buddies lighting up the little bits of trail in front of you blasting through the snow dust.油井緋色;2003415 said:
Get a similar feeling up here in the summer. Lots of distance between some towns, and later at night you need to be smart about gas so you can make it. All alone, black highway, no other traffic, just clicking off the KMs.
That's the main reason I don't go too fast here at night. Lots of wildlife. Moose are a scary sight when you crest a hill and they are standing in the middle of the road.
Go even further add in Caribou.
Startled the **** out of me seeing a caribou galloping along beside the highway up The James Bay Road
I like the solitude at night as well and sometimes ride roads I know reasonably aggressively as I can see the lights of any cars - something hard to do on those roads in the daytime - but mostly just enjoying the night and I do love a full moon. Some of the best rides on a bright moonlit late night.
Burgman has very good high beams and I know the model can take a deer hit at speed and protect the rider. ( lots of tupperware )
How I got my Russel Daylong
Guy hit a doe at 60 mph and rode it home.
Moose.....well.....I'm not riding that area much. I'd still like a pair of long spots down on the forks for daytime viz and night time lighting along the road edge. Couple of the guys on the Burgman site have some good set ups.
some of the night time pictures with the spots on and off are pretty impressive for extra reach.
But daytime deer is pretty common these days.
