PD Simplified : Riding In The Night

Riding in the night can be a big no-no for many motorcyclists due to several factors. However, dealing with them properly can help you ride as efficiently as when the sun is out. In this Simplified, Shumi gives us 5 tips to ride better in the night! And no, it doesn’t include putting on big white blinding lights on your motorcycle.

Hey #PDArmy, we hope this helps you ride better at night! Comment below if you have any queries or if you want to suggest a topic to be Simplified.

Was having breakfast but this seemed more important.

You are the most logical tip provider on the Internet. Even after riding and driving for 20 years now, I keep learning new things from your videos. Keep up the great work 👍

Shumi so fast that the subtitles are from last podcast, but he's already talking about a new topic !!

Among all the notifications.. I clicked on this.. Because this is something life saving and important.. Others can wait.. But the matter comes to Schumi Podcast.. It becomes much more precious.

Night ride + empty road + no street light + heavy rain = perfect test for experienced riders 😤

[aniruddhapisharody]

Thanks PD for an awesome video. I had a few questions
1) do you recommend the yellow shaded glasses
2) it may be illegal (not sure) but everyone on a touring bike have some kind of auxiliary lights, we did not speak about it
3) the ideal speed for traveling at night (I know lot would depend on the skill of the rider) but some safe riding speed

I had an unfortunate crash around 6 pm, 2 weeks ago for the first time after riding for 8 years, due to an opposite motorist using high LED beam at a curve while i was riding down a hill. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Even though I stared away from the high beam and slowed down, but the temporary blindness due to the sudden flash affected my foot landing judgement. With Zero street lamps, what I though was leveled road turned out to be a depression and i crashed, injuring my ribcage. Ive always use clear visors with anti fog insert.
So, yes, I completely agree with what you have suggested, Shumi Sir 🙏🏾👍🏼
I've also ordered for a pair of yellow shade blue light filter glasses. Let's see how that works out 👍🏼

A video or post about auxiliary lighting please! During my last road trip in the Himalayas, the roads were completely dark and the headlight on the CBR was far from adequate.
The different types (spot/flood/combo), where to install, how/when to use. A video on this please.

He told everything that I were screaming inside me and after listening to this i have tears in my eye 😭....Thank you sumi and that's why I love simplified videos...

Shumi brother one thing to remember, if you start early as 4 am for the ride that time is more risky, because the truck driver usually get tired and ask the helper to drive, else both are in sleepy eyes, or in a hurry to reach destination in time, so better to start a hour later,

[RiderXp]

This covers everything i’ve done in all my motorcycle touring life in India. Finally i’ve pretty much stopped riding at night coz believe it or not, riding at night here in the US is far more dangerous than it was in India because of higher speeds.

[chiranjeebpandit]

Amazing content as usual team PD.
I have a request to kindly put up the simplified on podcast platforms so that they may be enjoyed without engaging more than one sense.
Cheers

[revyaanshu]

Amazing and informative as always! Thank you Shumi and PD.

Video suggestion :: Overtaking on a bike. How and when to overtake and what things to keep in mind.

[saneetbhaidkar]

I do carry Colin, to clean Helmet visor, Mirror, Headlight + Extra Auxiliary light, whenever I Ride to Goa at night
But the problem on Old Mum-Goa highway is the 10-12 headlights installed on intercity buses

[AneeshKorrde]

I am the most at peace, more comfortable and more focused on the road at night rather than the day. Primarily because there are no new drivers/riders on the road and 90% are all experienced folks. Secondly, I have a lot of thoughts clouding my mind in the day compared to the old days when life had less responsibilities and life was all about riding fun. So while I don’t dazzle others I ride as much as I can in the night. Just a did a ride in 10 hours. Covered 528 kms in peace and happiness. 😎✌🏽

[barnyrocks]

Fantastic video, totally logical and making us realize the most obvious answers are always the simple ones!

[zainulabideen]

That was a lovely video. Could you do one on riding in fog? I really struggle with it. Especially when people coming from the other side think using high beam is a good idea to deal with fog.

[rajatsahu]

Great video! Do throw some light on how to change lanes confidently without having to slow down or getting distracted.

[NagarajSK]

Hi shumi, good to see covering topics like this. Can a topic on car suspension be covered. Checking existing suspension, when to change any aftermarket options
