rural riding in the dark and fog
« on: November 21, 2024, 06:43:11 PM »
I would not likely have ridden out in the dark in a fog this thick - and it was quite thick in areas! - except that I know these roads like the back of my hand. Still, I missed one turn and had to double back.

Fog thick enough to require rain gear - and needed my battery heated gloves for the 42°F temperature.
BTW - other than providing a lot of nighttime glare-back, my Piaggio flyscreen does zip to keep me dry or warm :)
but it's low enough to not bother my vision of the road when soaked.

parking brake on.....





brakes off....



oem 55/60W Halogen headlight gives me a nice flat cone of light.


It was a very wet ride - and required 10>15 sec. wipes to clear the visor.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.
