It's starting to heat up here in the SFV, with temps topping 100F. I've been slathering on sunblock and taking the Vespa out to work the entire week. There are summers that feel like you're going through a blow dryer when you ride, but thankfully it hasn't been as brutal. Yet.
Starting to break in a new helmet, Shoei J-Wing in Anthracite. It's night and day compared to the old piece of junk on my head. Huge difference a well fitted helmet makes, not only with wind noise but also with buffeting.
A weird thing happened yesterday. I noticed a small droplet on my left shoe, and thought nothing of it until this morning when I saw that it burned a hole right through my sneakers. Only then that I realized it's battery acid! I replaced the scooter battery a few months ago, which comes 'dry', and a bottle of sulphuric acid that you mix in with some distilled water. It was over the fill line when we installed it, so it must've leaked out from the vent hose, and ate through my shoe. Nice.
