How to Stop Losing Lapel Pins?
For pins that are somewhat permanent, I use these Pin Keepers. Got them from the pin lady on eBay. Have tiny allen screws that hold the cylinders on the post and precent the pin from coming off. I've used these on all my jacket and vest pins for years without losing one, and they've taken quite...- SkyTurtle

Seiko Arnie Repair?
Can anyone recommend a good tech for repairing a Seiko Arnie? It was my first watch and is in pristine condition except that the LCD stopped working. Sent it in to Seiko's repair center several years ago and it worked for a few months before stopping again. Thought I'd try among friends here...- SkyTurtle

The Motorcycle Helmet Thread
To your point, I've always thought the US has lagged far behind the UK, Germany and others in motorcycle safety laws. Not just for the helmet (which I can't understand anyone not wearing) but also the graduated requirements for displacement with new riders. Like flying, where you learn the...- SkyTurtle

New jacket: Vanson x Thurston Bros. Gambler
It's not just you, Junkie. Vanson is the best in my opinion, but their customer service is über langsam. Seriously, I ordered a set of hanger stickers several years ago. Never got here. Called Vanson and they swore they sent them. Address correct and everything. So, I ordered them again. Never...- SkyTurtle

New jacket: Vanson x Thurston Bros. Gambler
Very cool jacket! I tried a Vanson Daredevil (in the Z-150) from Thurston Bros. last year and it was insanely snug. The leather seemed pretty sturdy to me but it was just too tight and the arms were quite narrow. I suspect the Z-150 jackets were targeted for the Japanese markets. I see a LOT of...- SkyTurtle

Oscars were horrible
The Academy Awards have never done anything to demonstrate legitimized authority in my book. They're people with opinions -- and politics. I worked in advertising for a number of years and there are all kinds of awards circuits with their own "academies" who select winners, ostensibly, for...- SkyTurtle

The Motorcycle Helmet Thread
Haha, no offense taken at all (except that you spelled offense "wrong" :p). In the US we have "Mods and Rockers" events that I consider to be in the same bin as Civil War reenactment clubs; they get dressed up in what they think people wore during that period and then stand around yapping. Never...- SkyTurtle

The Motorcycle Helmet Thread
Agree on the Biltwell. Great helmets, but marginally protective. I think of it as the safest "open face" helmet I can get. Very retro looking. I've looked at a lot of the Davida helmets before but I didn't know if any of them were legal here in the US as well. Beautiful designs. But a bit pricey...- SkyTurtle

The Motorcycle Helmet Thread
Interesting question. I have an intermediate oval grape which means the Arais (Vector 2, etc.) fit me spot on. The Shoeis (particularly the RF-1200) are supposed to be intermediate oval as well but they seem to be just a tad tighter on the sides, hardly noticeable. The Biltwell's shape seems to...- SkyTurtle

Finally. A decent thread topic!
