The tank is kind of sticky......
As a matter of fact, on the way home yesterday, I noticed that the tank was sticky when I got off the Kanetsu Expressway...... It felt like I had been sprayed with a sweet soft drink.......orz
In the light of day, I would have noticed it when I got in the car, so I wonder if he did something to me when I parked at the Yorii PA on my way home.......
I have to wash the car because I can't help being angry. I can wash it with water in my apartment parking lot with this.
I want to shampoo my car because I don't know what they put on it..... I'm not sure what to do, but I'm not sure I want to be covering my apartment parking lot in foam........
Car Wash Day
So I made a reservation by phone for the self-service car wash corner at Mizonokuchi 2Rinkan and set off. Today's forecast is for a high of 29 degrees Celsius. I won't repeat my mistake of yesterday (driving in a leather jacket in Gunma in 29 degrees Celsius). I wore a mesh jacket over a long t-shirt and headed out. I washed the car with the seat bag in the car and sprayed it with water.
It's designed to run in the rain, so it's okay to shower from the top and front like rain...... So, I poured a lot of water on the car body, and without hesitation, the car body was covered with foam and cleaned up.
So I usually bring Plexus with me and apply it when I wipe up, but today I bought this at 2Rinkan. I've been wanting to compare this to WAKO'S Barrier coat for a while.
The price is a little bit higher than Plexus, but according to the reviews on the web, it is said to last longer than Plexus, so I guess it is practically the same price.
However, Plexus is often sold at Donki or home centers for less than 2,000 yen.
And I saw this on the web, too."First, while the car body is wet, apply BarrierScort to a clean sponge and spread it over the entire car body."I applied it in the same way. I heard that this method prevents uneven application.
Finish......
In contrast to the shiny finish of the Plexus, the finish was slippery and glossy. The paint film is thicker and softer than Plexus. That's my impression. I think I prefer this one because it's more sexy.
After washing the car, I checked the air pressure in the cold tires. It was a little high because the temperature had risen, but I like it that way, so I left it at that.
After that, I went back to my parking lot to work on the lubrication system.
Lubricate the chain, polish the inner tube of the front fork with silicone spray, and lubricate the moving parts around the steps and levers.
This completes the car wash mission for today. Chain cleaning is omitted.
3rd generation action cam
Now, as I reported before, the Chinese action cam, theSJCAM SJ6 Legend stopped running on battery after 3 months of purchase.....I bought it from Amazon Marketplace, but the support contact is in China. The support is very good and they say they will repair it for free, but I have to send it by international EMS (the shipping cost will be returned to me with an Amazon coupon), so I'm not sure if it will be back before GW...... So, I actually received this at home a few days ago.
- first generation:RICOH WG-M1
I bought it as an entry-level camera because it was cheap (for the time) on Amazon. It's a very good camera, but it's too big to be placed in the right position & it doesn't support an external microphone.
- second generation:SJCAM SJ6 Legend
I borrowed a GoPro from a friend and it was very good, but it was a bit expensive, so I installed a Chinese clone. I was pretty happy with it except for the fact that I couldn't use the external mic while charging/feeding it..... It failed after 3 months. I'll use it as a sub-unit when it comes back from repair.
- third generation:GoPro Session 5
I had been looking for a low-priced GoPro Hero, but the price difference between it and the Hero 5 Black on Amazon was only 2~3,000 yen. I was thinking of getting the Hero 5 Black, but when I mounted the SJ6 on my chin, the weight was bothering me, and I heard a friend of mine who is a Session 4 user say "I've never been bothered by the weight", so I decided to get the Session 5 this time.
You can buy the best action cam for the total price: .... I don't want to hear about it......So...
Snow Corridor Touring YesterdaySo, I was out with this thing on.
I certainly don't mind the weight at all. Also, when I was chin-mounting the SJ6, the ventilation at the mouth was blocked by the camera, so there was almost no wind coming in, but with the Session 5, the small size helped to provide some ventilation. I bought a separate power supply and external microphone adapter at the same time because I needed to deal with wind noise, but it seemed to be out of stock and I couldn't get it in time for this touring.
I think a more upward angle would be better...... I'm going to wear this camera for GW as well.
There are more new products to be introduced.....
I also have a box like this sitting in the hallway of my house.
This is another touring goodie, but I can't install it until the other box arrives, so I'll show it off next time.
