    Nice one Kev, glad it went well, CH ive bought some phillips ultra vision bulbs, fitted them and tbh dont notice too much difference, dont love riding at night, but not fazed by it either, just have to roll off the berries a bit to stay in the comfort zone.

    This is so true. The first ride I had on my CBR about a month ago was after I got home from work one evening and went out with my boyfriend following me. I'd never ridden in anything other than daylight before so to ride an unfamiliar bike, in twilight, was pretty hairy. Something about your perception seems to alter - full light or full dark doesn't seem to cause problems, but dusk is a worry and I'm not happy riding in it.

    ive read some of the posts but not all, sorry in advance if I say the same things ???

    I love reaing at night.....'strange am I'. I used to hate it but hving kids has forced me to have to ride at night. less on the roads.....mostly.....better idea of the oncoming traffic......and a better sense of bike handling...
    I can pick up issues on the bike earlier... worm bearings loose stuff and tyre issues as I rely more on feel than eye sight....

    and occassionaly I get to go out in the day and the ride feels so much more ...........fun lol
