But, butt,,, butt-t-t... I thought the headlights were there so the cagers could see me...There are these things called "headlights" on your bike. There really isn't any issue with riding at night. And if you get up early enough, you can be done by dark on a SS1K pretty easy.
Sure makes it hard to watch the sun come up in the desert if you do it all in the daylight....Sorry, just don't see the point in trying to do it all daylight.
