        Seems silly. Maybe taking retro a bit too far?

          It's a mini Nintendo. It has mini cables.  Seems logical to me.

          You should set it up in a smaller room, so you get the correct proportions.

              I was down in Birmingham yesterday for the motorcycle show there, and travelled by train.

              Everything went fine until I reached Preston on the return leg. I was meant to catch a connection just after 8 pm, but it turned out to be cancelled. Apparently there was a staff shortage, but I never found out the exact details.

              The next train was due just before 9 pm, so I had an hour to wait. That would have been fine, except the service turned up about an hour late. No explanation was ever given, and about half the time the board displayed an ETA (which got pushed out further every few minutes), and otherwise it just said "Delayed".

              I think that it was about 11 pm by the time I got in. I'd left at 7:30 am, so it was a very, very long day.

                ordered my helmet and visors. decided to wait after receiving an email about stock on the gold iridium one. but now, they can only expect the visor in 2017. damn if i'd known, i would've just not waited and taken the option of having them ship without the iridium visor…

                  Anyone else find a hefty dose of irony in that we buy $400 jeans and $300 shirts that are tough enough to protect you from road rash (To a degree), just to pamper and baby them with the most delicate washing procedures ever heard of?

                      I handwash my first few washes, and air dry the first few times. That's just to gauge possible shrinkage… After that, everything gets regular wash cycle, with regular machine dry cycles as well. It all looks better beat-to-Hell anyway!

                        When i first got into raw denim i baby'd my first pair but then soon realised it was a pain in the ass and i wasn't getting any good fades. The less i give a fuck about them the better they get.

                            You have no idea. For awhile, we were getting a ton of posts asking "OMG! I got my jeans wet, did I ruin them?!?" and "should I get special hangers for my jeans?" and my personal favorite "how do i treat the leather patch so it doesn't explode into a shower of sparks and a cloud of smoke?" (ok, that last one was embellished, but only a little)

                            On the flip side of things, at one point someone got puked on and they refused to wash their jeans.

                            One of my favorite posts is from Mega, when he pointed out that people get raw denim to reflect their lifestyle yet they insist on having the hygiene of a turn of the century miner to get kewl fadez.

                            I've become very cynical after being a moderator for so many years.

                                I turn my denim inside out, wash on a cool cycle with whatever detergent I've got, and leave to air dry. Perhaps I should embrace the dryer. 😉

                                    I tries that when I was new to denim. About an hour afterwards, they start to stink again.

                                      Yeah, a 6 month old corpse is going to stink a little when it warms up after a quick freeze.  It's not really a logical solution to cleaning your jeans….

                                        That being said, destroying IH gear in the wash is definitely possible.  @DougNg, didn't you wreck your cotton duck jacket?  I also think @hectic (ex-moderator) destroyed his superblack shirt.

                                        The washing instructions that are accompanied with IH purchases were taken from one of my posts.  I've learned a few things over the years and have a few more tips to share.  I'll try to post them in the next few weeks.
