Default Fascinating Dynas at night
Anyone here find that their Dynas are fascinating, beautiful creatures when viewed at night? I fall in love with my Fat Bob at night, the streetlights or road lights playing against the paint and chrome, the warm amber of the speedometer light. . . . A whole different "look" than that created by the sunlight!

I like riding at night but don't do anymore on te weekends since people are our drinking. And lately all these stories about crashing into deer are not helping.

next time you're out riding at night, pull into a gas station and snap a pic of your bike under the station lights.

i dono what it is about super-bright fluorescents in the dark, but the bike looks awesome and the pictures come out equally awesome.

try riding your Dyna through a tunnel.
My WG starts to get that 'liquid metal' look going on.

Funny you should mention that. I just washed my wide glide today and me and the wife went for a ride tonight. We were sitting outside drinking our coffee and I was looking at my bike in the street lights and was thinking to myself, Damn it sure looks pretty at night all shined up.

Yeah, I agree. I don't always ride at night, but when I want to, I just remind myself to be extra careful. . . I'm always careful. And it's paid off.
