Even with HID's I'm not a fan of riding in anything but cities at night... when I did my Indy ride in 08 I rode back from Smilieman's place to the camp ground in Eureka Springs... pitch black... couldn't see through corners so my HID's did fuck all to help. I caught up to a car and rode 1/2 a corner behind so I could see through to see what was going on.

that being said... I only had the two headlight on my ZZR... not the 15 Gas has on his bike alone...

I dont mind cities, and major highways, usually with the wide open spaces and generally long sweeping curves I can easily deal with night riding.

What realy sucked was when I left the gap from the raly 2 yrs ago, running rt 28 in total darkness, that was rather interesting to say the least.

Not on my bike. Fuck that. But I'll certainly be in or around Philly. This week actually...I'll be in the burbs. Going somewhere in Bucks County Thursday.

No prob...I probly won't be going into the city. This is a bullshit evening event I have to cover...I'll be quick to get the fuck home afterwords. Though, I do enjoy a delicious cheesesteak.
