Mmmm night rides... I haven't done that in ages. Used to take the roadie out for a blast at night a lot when I was much younger. The mate and I would sometimes get home after a Satdee night out and jump on the 750s and go for a blast to the local beach. Damn I miss that stuff.

Good for you Sue, hope you keep having fun like that!

OK Graeme - what sort of 750S are we talking about?

Night rides are cool - first time I did it I was 15 on a little 250 Ducati with no rego plates so it had a hi risk factor that made it even better.

Riding an SS Duke through a cold rainy night to get to some far away pub with the noise only a Ducati can make - miserable but GOLD.

Taking a BMW R90S from Sydney to Bathurst via Mittagong on a winter arvo for something to do and ending up in front of fire at a mates place getting spoiled by his missus serving a late dinner - another good memory - only coz the headlight flew out on the dirt section (think it was Taralga road?) Now THAT made me shit myself. It was still taped into the shell when I sold the bike so no more dirt roads would shake it out.

Many many more followed with hopefully many more to come for all of us I hope !!!
