See them little bubbles created when acid and soda mix? There is also HEAT generated by that reaction, which may do additional damage to the eye!

P.S. When using a soda solution to clean on/around the top of the battery, don't get too sloppy. If a little leaks INTO the battery, you're screwed. (Wonder how I know that!?)
Did not know that. Thanks! It's nice to learn from others mistakes.

As far as jumping from a car I am not sure if it is a good or bad idea. Both are 12V systems. I would assume jumping a bike is no different than jumping a car? I think it would be more difficult with the new bike. The battery on my old bike was under the seat, easy jump!
