Gear Oil and some booties.


The heel on my right driving shoe finally decided to remove itself from the shoe during the last 2 circuit days in Fukushima. Must have been from all the toe'n'heeling I've been doing of late. This flappy heel made driving a bit more difficult as it kept flapping about. So I decided it was time to invest in some booties. I remembered that Super Autobacs had a big selection so decided to head down there and see if they had something that should fit me.

I finally bought the Alpinestar Tech 1-R bootie. It fits really well and feels very comfortable. They didn't have all colors in my size so I had to go for red/black. I wanted yellow/black but they didn't stock that in any size... It must be the most popular color... yeah that's why :-)

While I was making up my mind about the color etc, I decided to change my Gear Oil again since it had been about 4 months and the 8 runs really hot so I guess is quite hard on the oil. I bought Speed Master Pro Super Gear Oil SAE:75W-90.

Now I'm all ready to go to Fukushima tonight. The only missing piece is a hotel reservation. I can't find any place right now as they all seem to be full due to some festival. Looks like the lights of the love hotels are calling... Hope they allow you in by yourself :-)
