Who likes to ride in the fog?

Okay, call me nuts, but I rode home from my folk's house tonight in the fog, and I actually enjoyed the ride. My wife took the minivan with the kids, and I took the bike. I rode it over this morning so I could take my wife for a ride while my parents watched the kids for us.
My wife was long overdue for a ride, since she used to love riding with me. She hadn't been on a bike with me since the birth of our oldest though, more than six years ago. So she got her ride, and was grinning from ear to ear.
After we ate dinner and I helped a neighbor kid finish his botched lift-kit installation on his Toyota, we decided to head back home. The temp was about 40 degrees F and as soon as we hit the highway the fog set in. My face shield was totally useless, so I rode the rest of the way (about 12 miles) home with it up. Did you know that human eyeballs can fog up?
I had to blink rapidly to see. Luckily I was following my wife in her kid-hauler, so I had the red streaks of her tailights to guide me. Funny thing is, I loved every minute of the ride.
I was cold, wet, couldn't see a thing and having the time of my life. There is no more perfect form of transportation on earth than a motorcycle.
