My radiator sprung a leak today after hitting a pothole. My right leg got sprayed everytime I was off the throttle . This was the inaugural trip with the new suit of course. WIll the coolant damage anything? I wiped it off when I got home but it was about 3 hours of riding to get back again.

My brand new A-stars GP Tech gloves got spat on by the 996 last weekend (she was unhappy that I rode her in stop and go traffic on a 90F day). No problems.

I saw today that some of the black from the puck area bled down. not horrible. Also noticed some...almost tears in the fabric on the right leg. Coincidence? Or did I catch my right peg when putting a foot down. I dunno. But I'm less than happy since the pegs are rounded on the end  [bang]
