It was a nice opportunity to try out my new-to-me BMW Motorrad Air Flow summer riding jacket. For the occasion I removed my windshield.
All I can say is wow! It's like not wearing a riding jacket at all. Plus it looks really nice, it's beautifully made, has all the right armor, and fits me like a proverbial glove.
I stopped to take these pictures before turning around to head back home.
I zoomed in to get a picture that allows the skyline to be seen. It's grainy because it's taken with a digital zoom, but it's good enough to let you see what I mean.

That straight bit on the West Island is a couple of exits' worth of Autoroute 20 where I got up to about 65 mph indicated on the Vespa's speedometer, or about 57 mph in real GPS verified speed.All in all, a very nice 28 km jaunt on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

The weather looks gorgeous! How is the humidity? I love zooming off on a sunny day for a scooter adventure. The weather hasn't been very cooperative here. My husband informed me the other day I have to 'earn scooter credits' before I go off on "errands", I must admit they do seem to take a few hours on a sunny summer day when I am out on the scooter and I do take rather longish routes.
You will have to post a picture of your new jacket. I have had to worry about needing a lighter coat, it's freezing here. I had the sleeves zipped down to mesh this morning and it was down right chilly.
Great pictures for a phone!
There you go, any outing on a scooter can turn around a day. It looks scorching hot out there. Yeah, and where is the picture of you in the new (to you) jacket?
Sonja, I edited to add a picture I took the other day. I'm not sure that it does the jacket justice.
