I came home really late from work tonight (8:30pm), and decided to take common way home over a hill rise.

I quickly came into fog that was PEA SOUP. Gray pea soup, in fact. I had difficulty in seeing even the edges of the road. It totally weirded me out, but I kept my cool, rode slow, an sensed the rode since I have taken it home countless times. Even then, I migrated into a left turn lane I didn't even know. I let a car pass me, and then it was easy to follow.

I'm wondering if my low beams are set too high for fog. I have a GT. Has anyone run into this problem?

Had the same yesterday morning. Driving to work trough really dense fog. I wore a reflective vest for the first time. Thing is that a lot of cars don't really slow down.

The biggest problem was that my visor was really dirty. The air quality in Belgium has been really bad lately because of weather conditions. My visor not only was wet, but it was just dirty. I had to open my visor which caused my eyes to tear all the way. When I looked into a mirror at work, where my visor goes, my skin was red from the freezing cold.

Not my best ride Laughing emoticon

Yep, sure have. I don't think there's a solution there (with regards to the low beams). I suspect it would be the same on pretty much any two-wheel type vehicle, but I'm just guessing.

Scary, for sure.
