    early morning fog might be the most dangerous time to ride, if you can't see you better stop
    last week i started out with a paper towel in my pocket to stop and wipe dry with, if i put the shied up my glasses just fog up.... no better
    after one stop i left the shield half way down so the horizon was at the edge of the shield and surprise no fog on the shield or glasses...?
    i don't know why it worked but three more times last week it worked fine
    this was cut with a knife fog going 55 to 65
    just thought i'd pass this along, might help

    me too, do it all the time. So foggy one morning last week I needed my rainpants to keep from arriving at work soaked.

    ya, there's a fine line to get either the shield or glasses to not fog up. i usually open it just enough to let some air in and that works for me. still a pain though.

    Sure do feel for all you working stiffs. Us old retired farts just stay home till the weather clears.
