Fog And Riding Doesn’t Mix
By 36 Special on May 21, 2007 in Motorcycle Rides, Motorcycle Safety
I try to ride to work just about every chance I get. That means that sometimes I may have to ride in some rather nasty stuff. Well this morning the fog was extremely thick. I normally leave the house sometime around 6 a.m. and this morning I managed to catch all of the fog because of leaving that early. I continually had to wipe my shield with my sleeve so that I could see and it was slow going almost all of the way in. I was almost late, I think I got there around3 minutes early (the military likes for you to be there 10 minutes early). I am going to start looking for something like rain x that you can use on plastic (you are not supposed to use that stuff on plastic for some reason). By the time I got to work I was also wet. That was some of the wettest fog that I had been stuck in for a while. Just remember a few things when you are out in stuff like that;
1. Slow down! Your life is worth more than the seconds you will save.
2. If you can’t see then stop. People may not be able to see you.
3. The roads are slick! Remember to take that into account when braking and maneuvering.
Just be careful out there, we all love to ride just do it responsibly.
