Alligator Alley At Night ???
I am planning on riding Alligator Alley (Rte 75) at night about 11p all the way from the west Florida to east Florida. Am riding an '09 Ultra Classic. Going solo. I am an accomplished rider.
Question: Is it unsafe to ride THIS road at night by myself?
Thank you in advance,

People do it, but as a FL native, it scares the chit out of me when on 2 wheels.
Only if don't mind being attacked by a giant alligator and being dragged off into the swamp never to be hear again !!

Actually that is a part of why I am asking for other ppl's thoughts. And those concerns IS what I was thinking abt. I figure, if I do not over ride my lights (go much slower than normal) I should be ok and have time to use evasive action if needed. A sudden 4X4 on the road would be nasty.
As far as the animals are concerned, I am pretty sure most (if not all) of the way is fencing in the side of the road to keep them critters off the road. ??
THANK YOU for ur input.

If your night vision is excellent, and the bikes lights up to the task, go for it.
