Heavy rains due just after sun-up....
But - one "possible" day, after 5 weeks of impossible weather, so I geared up and jumped on the the 7yr old LIKE200iLX at 0'Dark:30 ....and headed off into what might have been Pea Soup - except it was too dark to see it.
My wife standing at the door, shaking her head sadly, as her nut-job husband disappeared quickly into the heaviest fog and dark.
The Liberty has that wonderful 55W fog boring headlight - but the LIKE has the lighted top case, the winking rear fog&rain light and trusted wet weather Michelins!
My winter riding gear is also water proof - and a fog like this will soak you in short order. Also is great fun on & in the face shield. (
some day I'll install the PinLock !) 1 mile down the road I gave up and opened the face shield for the remainder.
Cruised at about 26MPH in the black fog....coming home in the grey fog averaged @ 31mph. I know my route to my coffee village - so this was safe.
Just beat the heavy rain coming home.
Knocked on my daughter's bedroom door, "Your Hells Angel father is home!"
"Dad, you ride a
scooter - quit exaggerating!"
