Actually, he is only partially correct. The condensation (dew) will form when the surface temp falls below the dew point...not when the dew point falls below ambient temp.
Show me where I said that. I said that not
and I wasn't writing a thesis. I only made a mostly general comment on the fact that there are many variable that go into getting a flash of minute water droplets (like a "fog") on bikes in an unheated enclosure when the variables change.
All I can say is I have 55 years of empirical evidence in a high humidity state (RI), 30 years in this particular house, and I know it happens. My garage is well insulated, unheated and always colder than the air outside. On very damp days, the fog will form on both bikes (dependent on the variables) when I open the door OR when I get near a certain part of the bike and warm the surface with body heat or if I DARE to breathe on the damn thing
This never ever was any huge problem for me although it will leave a haze behind on both chrome and paint (another reason why I don't like chrome). You just have to grin and bear it in a state like RI ("...if I only knew then what I know NOW on MUCHO subjects).
I think this a rare problem in very low humidity states like where I grew up (Wyo, Colo).
