Dusk is my favorite time to ride. The bike just seems to look great at sunset.

Nice time to ride in the city. Worst time to ride in deer country. Not enough light to see them. Not dark enough to see their eyes glowing.
This picture is a little before dusk.

Texters never take any time off around here!

Like Ron said worst time of the day to ride out here. I step it way back until after dark and then pick it back up a little. However Hogs at night so one must be careful in the country for sure.

I love to ride at dusk but I always watch out for the deer.

As long as the sun is at my back, I'm fine!

Beautiful bike!

Always try to catch pictures just after dawn and just before sunset. The light is always best around them. Professional photographers refer to that time as "magic hour".

I'd love to go for a ride too, but with a temp of -2* and a WC of -24 with about a foot of snow on the ground, I just don't want to take her out...

All you that can still ride, enjoy it.
