Apres Noir Motorcycling.

[Tym]

Seems i can get away after dark without worry, so off i set, went to see my old cab driving haunts. Most places are shut tight, some struggle to stay open. Its a nice time to ride, not much traffic...What seems missing is life, nothing is going on, everyone is racing to get home, if they ever left. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gets Dark early in December, and quick too...reminds me of a poem....

 

Do not go gentle into that good night

Dylan Thomas - 1914-1953

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Good thing i headed out tonight for after dark pics:

 

 

, found Antman™ crossing the Niantic River bridge going 13mph on his scooter towing a 3 wheel bike on its back two wheels.

 

 

If he went over 14mph it induced death wobbles for the trike in tow, i pulled behind and hit my flasher to warn on coming traffic, got him safe to a side street...headed into the big city to see whats up....

 

Came home.

I like the shawdows from the street light effect in this, that looked cool.  This place was my playground everytime we visited CT, i know it like the back of my hand.  The Sub on the left in the begining is the Nuke sub the Nautilus.
