Rode my 250 in heavy fog

Will that hurt the bike?

I had no choice but to take my bike to work (cold, but nice sunny day), then on the way home tonight... it was SUPER foggy. Riding in the fog sucks..

Anyways it did seem'd like my bike was slower. Would the fog affect this?

Oh no, this is very bad, you should never ride your motorcycle in fog as it will cause extreme damage to your bike. I'm afraid your bike is completely ruined but I am willing to take the now very large paper weight off your hands. Simply ship your bike to me and I'll be sure she is properly recycled

No problem to run in fog(unless you crash from not seeing) and it runs different due to all the moisture in air w/ fog (think it does about same in rain too).

Much better than smoke.... I ran through some from a grass fire, exiting a freeway. Wish I would have known that only one breath would start the count-down to smoke inhalation (Almost rode between and against traffic to get air). That was a dumb move, and next time I'll take the next exit.

I'll take fog over smoke any day (I secretly like fog).

Strap some flashlights to the bottom of the fork.
