Stopping at coffee shops on the LIKE200iLX
« on: September 13, 2021, 05:47:16 PM »
Tim Hortons.....nobody brewing yet...( no umbrellas on the patio again this year...)


Somebody was moving in Winans...(need umbrellas over those outdoor tables - sitting under an umbrella is a whole different feeling than sitting in the open in the dark)


Patrons of UnMundo's have access to umbrella'ed tables across the street...


Riding scooter on the sidewalk....which one can get away with at O'dark:30!

I was out early (for me) this morning taking daughter for a PCR test and experienced my first fog this year in this season of "mists and mellow fruitfulness"!  Glad to have been in the wife's Range Rover rather than on my scooter.  Just hate it when mist / fog covers the outside of the visor in a film of water droplets, you end up wiping it away every other lamp post!
Regards & ride safe,

One morning, on my LIKE200i, years ago, I set out to my place of work in a fog so so thick it was like rain. My visor fogged on the outside - no problem - just wipe it. Then it started fogging inside....leaving me no option but to raise the visor. Then my spectacles fogged over, inside and out!

I finally pulled over, removed my glasses, and rode slowly to work by watching the yellow center stripe. Fortunately I did not get rear-ended and it also was only about 3 miles in the pre-dawn dark to my work.

One other morning on my Forza for a Sat morning ride - I came upon fog so thick I returned home.
Very very thick fog is pretty rare around here....but a nice ground frog I find provides great photo opps!

Fortunately the pea-souper fogs of yesteryear as seen in the old Brit B&W films are now a thing of the past here (no more coal fires),but I do remember fog so thick in the 60’s following the taillights of a number 52 bus in Birmingham in order to get home safely!
