Jesus Christ bike people are worse than car people. A buddy of mine told me yesterday that if I ever seriously rode a Honda Ruckus around he'd stop talking to me.

I told him to go gently caress himself, I'll ride/drive whatever I drat well please. I don't give a poo poo how it makes me look, I'm having fun. Ruckus' are dope :colbert:

Hopefully he means because they're overpriced as gently caress and you can pick up a comparable chinese scoot for like $700 shipped and just take the fairings off yourself.

Yeah, my wife is in cosmetology school so she'll actually get credit for dealing with it. Counts as a pedicure for her :v:

And I'm in the military, so unless my toe is actively falling off they give no fucks. I probably am cutting them too short, I generally cut all around and make sure there's no white and there's toe sticking out well past the nail. Same with fingers.

So I imagine it's some combination of cutting too much, and being in boots + socks for 10+ hours almost every day for the past seven years.

Here's my input: I had a gnarly ingrown once, it got super infected and swollen to the point where I couldn't wear my shoes anymore, too much pain. So I started treating the toe with salts and whatnot, and bought some sandals. I wore those until the ingrown toe went away. Yes, with socks, to work and out in public and everything. A month went by, and I went to put on my shoes and realized THEY WERE REALLY loving TIGHT. I'd been wearing a size too small for years, but I was used to the way they fit and liked them tight. I went up a size and haven't had an ingrown toenail ever since. And now I like my shoes roomy.

So I'm guessing you can't wear sandals but maybe try going up a boot size and see if it helps.

Cross-post from Panther chat:
Got one of the rear doors in my P71 working from the inside last night. Used threaded inserts and M6 bolts to replace what rivets I had to drill out. Man, I am so glad I bit that rivnut tool. Probably do the other door tonight.
Need to go back to the yard and fine some half-decent carpet, among other things. There was a fresh Town car with leather buckets there. Black, but I can make that work with the grey interior, I think. And what the hell is it with the ash-tray/cupholders on these things? Mine has one cupholder broken, and the face of it that matches the dash is missing. Every one I saw in the yard was either broken, missing the face, or the earlier style. Design flaw?

I like interesting poo poo. I like the Ruckus because it's as close as a manufacturer would ever get to making a Mad Max bike, I like the Honda Cub/Passport because they are quite literally "the wheels of Asia", I like the Trabant because they made a loving car out of cotton. poo poo like Lambo's and Ferrari's are boring to me.

I couldn't give a poo poo if you paid a shop to turbo your FRS just so you could have "one of the first 4 in Canada". gently caress off, you don't like cars. You like status symbols. Tell me about how you keep your shitpile Civic on the road instead.

I like them both for different reasons.

I like Roadkill because they are doing the things that I would do if I had no concern for money or time. It's just a good car show. Top Gear is not a car show, but sometimes it's funny to watch three grown men fall down a hill.

Was feeling chuffed because I have sold a load of old stuff and car parts on ebay over the last 3 weeks and had built up a decent paypal balance. I hadn't got round to withdrawing it out of paypal because i was just going to spend it online anyway this week.

Now the bastard who bought my old mig welder 3 weeks ago, and received it 2 1/2 weeks ago (it was tracked and signed for) has decided to do a credit card cashback and paypal have had most of my balance back and I have to gently caress around with a 'resolution case' to try and reclaim it. I should have withdrawn it straight away like I usually do (so I could then do a credit card chargeback on it if paypal reclaimed it!)

Feel obligated to let everyone know about the best thing happening on the forums currently: Hiking Across America

A month ago some sadbrains decided his BMW and cushy upper-middle class life in California wasn't what he expected life to be about, oh also he has bipolar disorder. He raises $4k for charity to walk from Los Angeles (in early summer...) to Daytona, Florida. He later changed the starting point to San Francisco after goons pointed out he's nuts.

Anywho, he decided to "even out the praise and optimism" of his friends and family by posting his plans on SA, and was pretty quickly run off after experienced trekking goons told him he's doomed to fail and hasn't even touched on major planning points for a trip of this scale. However, some of them had already found his facebook page for the whole shebang before he locked it down, and are updating the rest of us on his current status.

He started on May 15th, and I won't spoil anything (unless you read the spoiler text below you idiot), but hot drat it's already been a great read. Accounts of his journey start on Page 23.

Major milestones: He was relying on a stupid plastic-jointed "hiking cart" baby carrier to lug food and water through the desert. It broke six miles into the journey and he presumably ditched it. He's done somewhere around 22 miles in 4 days, and has already broke down and cried because of 1000' of elevation change on a path "great for walking your dog" according to a hiking website. He isn't eating at all aside from "a few raisens", and took a rest day 4 days in. Google maps says the 22 mile journey should take 8 hours.

As is, 9 times out of 10 it ends up rear end backwards in a hairpin corner with me frantically trying to countersteer and manage revs.

To be fair...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Toivonen

quote:

The 1986 Tour de Corse, a world rally around the island of Corsica, began on Thursday, 1 May. Toivonen had a sore throat and was suffering from flu, but he insisted on driving after having lost his championship lead in the last two rallies. According to several sources, he was also taking medicine to treat fever. Despite his ill health, he was taking stage win after stage win and leading the rally by a large margin.[34] After the first leg, Toivonen commented:

"This rally is insane, even though everything is going well at the moment. If there is trouble, I'm as good as dead."[34]

Toivonen was complaining about the car being too powerful for a rally like the Tour de Corse. He found it very hard to keep the car balanced on the road and admitted it was very exhausting. In a short interview before he steered his Lancia into the 18th stage, Toivonen made a comment which would remain his last words in public:

"Today, we have driven the equivalent of a full Jyskälä. It's hard to keep up with the speed."[51]

During the second leg, on Friday, 2 May, at the seventh kilometre of the 18th stage, Corte–Taverna, Toivonen's Lancia went off the side of the road at a tight left corner with no guardrail. The car plunged down a ravine and landed on its roof. The aluminium fuel tank underneath the driver's seat was ruptured by the trees and exploded.[3] The fuel tank was not protected by a skid plate, an item used mainly on gravel rallies, which was not fitted for the all-asphalt Tour de Corse. The explosion happened within seconds of the crash, and Toivonen and his co-driver, Sergio Cresto would not have time to get out had they still been alive. The fire caused by the explosion was so intense that the Delta S4, built of fast-burning kevlar-reinforced plastic composite, was unidentifiable as a car afterwards.[45] Both Toivonen and Cresto died in their seats. Toivonen left behind wife Erja (married in 1982)[52] and two young children, son Markus and daughter Arla, while Cresto was single with no children.

Toivonen's accident remains a mystery because it had no close witnesses. Although it was caught on tape by a spectator further down the stage, it proved to be impossible to determine the cause of the crash from the footage. No race marshalls were close to the scene to notice the black smoke and no-one at the race finish knew about the accident. Toivonen's team only started to fear something might have happened after he failed to arrive from the stage on schedule.[3] The next rally crew through the stage then mentioned they had seen some black smoke. By the time the emergency vehicles arrived on the accident scene, they could only put down the flames, which had been fanned by breezes. Lancia engineers and technicians could not determine the cause of the accident because the remains of the car were so charred. Walter Röhrl later confirmed that Toivonen was taking medicine for his flu, but the cause of the accident is still unknown.[3]
