Night Riding

[redhot3368]

I've been reading a number of posts on other forums about night riding. I've never done it before, but it sounds fun. This is the first year for Daylight Savings Time in Indiana and we're all just getting used to it. It gets dark by 5:30 in the winter and there isn't much in the way of daylight in the morning come summer. Being able to (safely) ride at night would help make that less of an issue. I know of a group of women who are starting to do a weeknight ride on country roads. I'd consider joining them but don't have the gear yet. Does anybody have any specific recommendations for lighting systems?

I have been night riding for 3 years now. I have been going twice a week this winter. It is SOO MUCH FUN!! with the right lights.
I would NOT go cheap when it comes to lights.
I have a HID nite rider and it is GREAT!!
Niterider is a good brand as well as light n motion

Check e-bay, but you are looking at least $400.
Just my opinion!

We have Nite Rider halogen lights, one for the helmet, one for the bars..between the two they are great. DH got them on ebay...way cheap.

If you go halogen, get two...
