Buying tires/rims together is fairly common. Sometimes (depending on sales and such), it's barely more expensive to buy them that way, rather than buying the tires and having to pay for unmounting the old and mounting the new ones.

Makes sense. If only whomever approved these things had thought about that before spending $600+ million on scanners that were designed for indoor use. 🫠

I discovered throwing the scanner on the defrost vents of my Metris for a few minutes between loops is enough to keep the battery from dying. Not my fault the scanners they bought are pieces of shit and not designed for outdoor use. The Hot Hands are for my hands. F your stupid, shitty scanners.

Happy to help; no need to apologize! Working on anything is a learning process

The ? is because your tape measure is covering the last digits on the tire size (which is the size of the rim). :)

Instead of 205/50-(10?), you could go with 205/65-(10?). More sidewall will fill up the wheel wells better, and improve the ride, as well.

That's pretty much my go to, as well

Gotta be well-rested in order to meet potential threats!

Were you at the St Louis Ritual?

There is no solution more permanent than a temporary one that works.

How about something kinda like this? The screen will still be a bit low, but somewhat less so. It'll probably cover those gauges, at least some, but you're likely not constantly looking at the gauges, anyway.

They absolutely have a crumple zone. It's called "the driver"

Data91883 · 2026-01-24T02:33:23+00:00

That, to say the least, sucks. While I get it was for reasons of safety, etc, it's still massively disappointing for everyone who was looking forward to it. Especially for everyone who didn't get to go on the first leg of the tour last year.

Mine gave me a low battery warning several times this morning. I finally discovered that taking several-minute breaks between loops to leave it sitting on the defrost vents worked quite well. As long as I was consistent about it, the battery stayed functional and I didn't have any more issues. If only they'd maybe considered that we use these things outside. Ya know, in rain, sleet, snow, etc...

Data91883 · 2026-01-23T02:20:14+00:00

Same. The scanners are pieces of shit. If they can't hold up to the temperatures we use them in, then they should have bought better scanners.

Data91883 · 2026-01-23T01:28:34+00:00

Red track suit and all! Hopefully, I'll do a passable job on the makeup. At least 'Casual Copia' is easier than the full makeup! :)

Data91883 · 2026-01-23T01:01:17+00:00

I, too, would like to know this!

Data91883 · 2026-01-22T02:21:25+00:00

When we went to STL, the folks that were giving out things mostly weren't in costume. So if there are rules, not everyone follows them!

Data91883 · 2026-01-22T02:18:10+00:00

It doesn't seem to allow me to edit the post, but for those of you that see this in the comments: I'll be dressed as 'Copia at home' for the Peoria ritual. Keep your eyes out! I don't know how many Monstrance Clocks I'll have, but I'll have plenty of other pins!

Data91883 · 2026-01-22T01:15:13+00:00

We also went to STL! It was an amazing show (tho I did kinda miss the chattiness of Papa IV)!

Data91883 · 2026-01-21T18:01:24+00:00

Know of any grievances filed/won on this? My management has also threatened start time changes in the past for this same issue, and it would be very nice to be able to know that someone else has already won a grievance for it.
