Why I like 0'Dark:30 rides

[Stig / Major Tom]

And, there's not a lot of traffic.

I can relate. I like riding the back roads due to the lack of traffic and early weekend morning for the same.

Besides little traffic, it's a great time to take pics.

Superb!
(especially after reading 2 recent scooter posts of 3 wrecked scooters in traffic (one in the U.K., 2 off in Atlanta)

I recently did another 0 dark 30 ride:

In another 2-3 hours this parking lot would be full:

Nice time to be at the Gap, Klav. Great pics, Stieg. Thanks!

Superb, Klaviator!
Is that a Majesty? (yr. , miles, impressions? Does the Majesty have full-time double head lights, or only two when the brights are on?)
Very handsome scooter!
Spotted this huge setting moon...but had to wait for this highway overpass to get a shot of it (I-70 down there)
Really big moon, just before the blood moon last night.


Lousy pictures of this monster moon....when I first glimpsed it through some trees I thought it was a massive barn fire!


Then on to my coffee village. Parked below the Toxic Beauty music store.

It's a 2012 Majesty that I bought new this May for a great price.  I'm enjoying it so far and so is my wife.  We bought it because it's comfortable for her as a passenger.  My only complaint is that the riding position puts a strain on my back.  As for the head lights, I haven't been paying attention to them other than they work fine.  I'll have to check on them on my next ride.

Thanks for the reply.

I got up early again this past weekend to get some of those shots you just can't get later in the day.  It wasn't still dark but the cold weather and low angle of the sun made for some great pictures.

And of course the lack of traffic made for a fun ride

Wow!
Well done!
Maybe we can get more folks out of bed and onto their scooters at this time of day!.....
You will see some nice stuff at that hour and Frankly - it is safer, too, on any size scooter. Very little traffic. Be watchful for deer. Crusie along .....and just try not to smile at the fact that you and your scooter practically own the roads and all of your county.
Cause everyone else is still in the sack.
And you get your pick of the parking spots when you're ready for coffee.














Ride safe.
