My only problem with the crotchrockets is that their riders don't exactly go out of their way to improve their visibility to automobile drivers. I can't remember the last time I saw a motorcycle with its headlight on. I wasn't aware that the you could turn the headlights off...

I should have thrown in a couple caveats - my apologies.
No problems at night at all. Most are responsible drivers, particularly the cruising-types that ride in groups.
Just speaking of the adrenaline junkies. The low-slung nature of the vehicles inhibits visibility. Where I live, bicyclists are an even bigger nuisance than motorcycle drivers.
Makes me jealous at times, but the thought of having to have nearly-permanent vigilance while not being able to get a sip of water is foreign. Happy with my convertible Mustang. Stay safe out there.
