When it's foggy out, ride above the fog

While it's never wise to ride your motorcycle when you're emotional, sometimes a good, focused, even quick motorcycle ride can help clear a mind.  After starting the motorcycle, you instantly begin to focus on all the subtleties: the slight chatter of valves asking to be tuned, the initial sponginess of the brakes followed by precise, surgical grip, and the tightness around the knees and lack of blood flow due to the jeans under leathers.

Wait, wasn't I worried about making one of the million deadlines, meeting with one of a hundred people, concerned about where I was going to eat dinner?

The motorcycle calls for your unfettered attention and with that focus, a rider can truly enjoy a fun, safe, and exciting motorcycle ride.  Becoming aware of the road, it's variables, and everything else is priority one on the bike.  Determining why you're mad at your girlfriend, or how you're going to get the deliverables have little room on the motorcycle.

Thus, the motorcycle allows you to ride above the fog:

This little ride also served as the prep run for this weeks TrackDay at Infineon Raceway.
