Turned around due to fog.....

Only the 2nd time I can remember aborting a morning scooter ride due to fog.
Here at the reservoir it was fine....but when heading though town out to my coffee village it was maybe 3 car lengths* of visibility. Not good in city traffic if you don't have a Buick wrapped around you. Turned around in the city and headed home.
I thought, "no, summer is just starting - I like riding in the fog - but this stuff is too much ....and there will be many other days."
Fish
* the Mrs was surprised to see me. Barely foggy at our house.
A note on this photo: 'Parking brake' applied here-- the US market gets turn pods and three brake lights across the rear of the LIBERTY. Euro models have clear lenses either side of the center brake light with amber bulbs in them for turning - and no turn pods. I much prefer the American version with more brake lights!
