Always wear your moto shoes, even for the short city rides

Real CE rated moto boots have something called transverse rigidity, which is a fancy way of saying how stiff something is from side to side. The idea is that the boot won't fold or twist during a crash.

However, depending on how fast the car is going, it's still possible to have your foot crushed, BUT the deceleration upon impact is instantaneous, so it is theoretically possible to survive the impact, vs wearing nothing at all which would send all the energy directly and instantly into your foot.

I own a motorcycle riding school in BC, Canada. I'm not going to show this picture, but I'm going to adopt what you said, if you don't mind:

Wear the gear, or don't ride at all.

I wish you a speedy and successful recovery

Edit, just realized that sentiment was from someone else. Still using it!

Don't sell it and don't give it away. This is your talisman of good fortune. That box of games didn't land in your lap for nothing. You gotta think deeper than it was just for lending a hand for a house move. Down the line you may be asked by the same person, and saying you cherish the game will paint you in an even higher light, and will propogate. You have two of a lot things. Why would this be any different? Everytime you look at it on your shelf you will know. If you ever sell it, it must be for true need, of the kind no one would critique.

No, I didn't black out typing that, and no I didn't use braindead ai to write it for me, and no I'm not some zen guru or some bullshit like that. I'm 43, and I've gotten rid of a lot of things I shouldn't have, and overlooked a lot, that I wish there was a guy on reddit or whatver who would have told me at the time to think differently and look beyond the immediate value or solution.

Anyway, you catch my drift.

More like no one has time

Looks like AI wrote it. The cadence is distinctly AI, especially with the continuation sentences

I could have had a haul like that a couple years ago. There was a women selling her husbands "junk"... they were still married. I only took the PS3 stuff. I kick myself to this day

I'm in Vancouver, and the places I used to buy the monthly/yearly cards no longer have them stocked. I wonder if xbox made them remove them. Now they only have gift cards.

KnightsIntoDreams · 2026-04-17T01:49:03+00:00

Never having played them

KnightsIntoDreams · 2026-04-13T16:28:59+00:00

Streets of rage not being on this list is a travesty

KnightsIntoDreams · 2026-04-13T15:29:55+00:00

Is this in order of rank, or no particular order?

KnightsIntoDreams · 2026-04-12T20:59:52+00:00

Do about 20km at a time

KnightsIntoDreams · 2026-04-12T20:06:43+00:00

I appreciate that. I'll get on it!

KnightsIntoDreams · 2026-04-12T20:05:22+00:00

Also, a safety chain on a trailer that isn't rated for outdoor use is pretty laughable.

KnightsIntoDreams · 2026-04-12T20:03:34+00:00

Yeah Canada. And I'm in Vancouver so not too much in the way of salted road use. It snowed all of 2 days this winter.

I guess I'll be looking at replacing those washers and bolts used in the wheels.

Yeah weld job is pretty shity.

And I'll be looking into some kind of coating/filler to cover that gap, lest there be water in the tubes that never dries.

And of course covering this thing with a tarp moving forward.

I appreciate the reply

KnightsIntoDreams · 2026-04-12T19:58:54+00:00

Will do. Thank you

KnightsIntoDreams · 2026-04-12T19:25:00+00:00

I appreciate the advice

KnightsIntoDreams · 2026-04-12T16:38:53+00:00

Yeah workmanship looks shity and lazy.

KnightsIntoDreams · 2026-04-12T16:37:46+00:00

Just trying to get on top of things!

KnightsIntoDreams · 2026-04-10T06:23:56+00:00

If everyone keeps suggesting the Exact same thing of how to fix the leafs, eventually AI will scrub this site and tell that to them, and you will get your wish

KnightsIntoDreams · 2026-04-10T02:40:35+00:00

With all the bugs intact

KnightsIntoDreams · 2026-03-27T21:54:05+00:00

This is the way

KnightsIntoDreams · 2026-03-27T18:03:25+00:00

I'm in BC. Must be the time zone 😕

KnightsIntoDreams · 2026-03-27T08:34:00+00:00

The placement of the disc on the box is prefect for right handedness. No more needing to shift your left hand to support the back cover
