Go on purpose when nobody else is outdoors. Ride around for a look. If you get wet you won't drown. Ride at night. If you don't have to get up for work the next morning there is nothing like enjoying a two am stop at a lonely all-night coffee shop, after a hundred miles of scary back roads.
Full moons are best.
Watch for deer and small animals. Always have a way to haul stuff. Wear a Courier bag or backpack. Carry a bungee net, bungee buddy, an empty tank bag or some bungee cords. As a last resort, leave saddlebags on all the time.
