SuzukiSavage.com - Riding in the Fog

Paladin. Serious Thumper Offline Hamster Posts: 4929 Sunny Southern California Gender:	Riding in the Fog 01/13/06 at 11:28:43 I love it. One of the few times I ride without eye protection as blinking is better than trying to wipe the mist off goggles or screen. I love the muffled sounds, the cool dampness, the way the cagers (most of them anyhow) finally obey speed limits.

That looked like my ride this morn....Wish I was so confident in the cagers being more aware....but I was nearly taken out by one that decided that riding in the fog and yackin' on the cell phone was a priority for them Angry

Hey I just looked at your webpage and your in Gardena...Heck I'm a block away from Alondra Park/El Camino College over in North Torrance....were practically neighbors Grin

Kaishaku, Yep. That's my $10 fishtail as recorded by a $90 Polaroid PDC 4055 mounted on the handlebar.

SeeAPierce, Yep. 8) About 7am.

HDI_IA, didn't say they were more aware; just that they mostly slow down to the speed limit. Grin

They are LESS aware as they are driving around in a fog, literally as well as figuratively. Which doesn't bother me as I know I'm invisible anyhow.

I'm a bit more than a block away from El C. -- about a 15 minute walk. I walk to the Gardena Cinema for their matinees. ~~We'll~~ Your dad and I will have to do Ricky and Ronnie's sometime -- just so I'm not the only Thumper there.

Wow you mean Ricky and Ronnie's is not only Harley's?

I have been down by it before, but never stopped in cause I thought it was basically a Harley night there. Guess I was WAY off the mark on that one Undecided

Yeah I'll see about getting him down there once I get his bike finished. I rebuilt the carb and got the problem with all the fuel in the air cleaner and case resolved, but I am still have issues with it and might have to pull the carb once again Sad

About half V-twin cruisers, half sport bikes, a couple of V-8's. And exactly one single. Very lonely.

Steve530 -- that 'amber' was a fog-shrouded streetlamp.
