Most of the United States reverts to standard time on the first Sunday in November. Clocks change at 2:00 a.m. local time. It means clocks fall back from 1:59 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.
Daylight Saving Time is NOT observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, and Arizona.
Why 2:00 a.m? It was originally chosen as the changeover time because it was practical and minimized disruption. Most people were at home and this was the time when the fewest trains were running. It is late enough to minimally affect bars and restaurants, and it prevents the day from switching to yesterday, which would be confusing. It is early enough that the entire continental U.S. switches by daybreak, and the changeover occurs before most early shift workers and early churchgoers are affected.
1 more hour of sleep. Yippie!
…minimally affect bars? Adds another hour before closing time. 😉
Hours fall back, dark comes quicker, rides get shorter and colder.
And so goes another riding season here in the Midwest
A TOTAL WASTE we don’t need this antiquated hated practice. GET RID OF DST !!
Should change clock so it is light till 8-9 pm Hate winter but on the good side spring is coming……..
sooner or later
Change your clocks back one hour tonight and change your president on Tuesday!!!!

I guess Cyril’s readers are divided : 50% Obama, 50% Romney. But let’s talk motorcycles, not politics.
OMG = OBAMA MUST GO!
OMGBTTWH = Obama Must Go Back To The White House.
