The fog has some weird effect on me. I love to ride through it but lately have been apprehensive to ride foggy days and nights alone.

Great post!

Charlie6: Not only do you have the advantage of a bright orange subject, but you have the added bonus of the majestic Colorado landscape. You can't take a bad picture there.

I want to see more antelope, bear, elk and wolves in your pictures though. And throw in a few cowboys for good measure...

Steve:

sometimes I wished that we had closer access to forest service roads, but then again a Vespa is easier to handle on dirt than a V-strom.

As we get older the more we think about past memories and things and places we used to frequent.

I used to have a VW Bug. I think that makes us related . . .

Great shots Steve. Have you ever mentioned what equipment you use to get these great shots? I’d love to know what you use.
And, yes fog is something special. Here in Maine it can come in “Pow!” just like that, entangling us in it’s wispy coolness. Then – gone! and the sun once again holds sway.
Come on up out way, Tom Keene and I would love to experience our form of quiet wilderness.
Ciao.
Mike.

Steve, about a Tangerine Tango-colored Ural being unfair advantage....I need any edge I can get when my photos get compared to your stuff.

Circle Blue: I wonder if there is a Fog Riders Association. Maybe we should start one...

Ride safe in the mist.

I, too, love the fog. It is indeed strong medicine. It makes for the finding of those thin places where the realms of what is, what was, and what might be are not so well defined. Fog brings mystery and mystery brings the possibility of adventure.

Yes, I, too, love the fog.

Vasco: Thank you for the kind words about the pictures and post. It’s nice to know someone connects. I think there are more than a few riders who have similar feelings about riding in fog. Maybe they will chime in.

Poppawheelie: Someday things might change and something different might make sense but for today the Vespa is champ.

Charlie6: The orange URAL provides an unfair photographic advantage. It's like having a photogenic dog along...

TinyPuppetmaster: Same here — even as a kid I liked fog. Also had me running in the mist behind mosquito trucks spraying malathion. Ugh.
