I am not much of a night driver as it is so I don't know if I would want to make it a regular habit...plus this was at 5:30 when everyone is going home.

Ebay is your friend.
When I first got the bike I tried to read the thing...but realized quickly that that could turn into a dangerous situation FAST. I do for the most part know how fast I am going...the only thing that makes me nervous is not knowing exactly how fast I am going in the area I have gotten a speeding ticket at in the past (in my car.)
