Adventure! Fedora Lounge Folks in Action!
Fourth'd! I hope to never feel as though I have lived enough... And Zaika - please do post some of your photos from Russia! Your hardly-an-adventure is another persons' trip of a lifetime. I haven't been since 1992, when I spent a few weeks in Kiev and then took the train to Moscow and...- Copper

Bicycle Helmet?!
^ Very good point, LizzieMaine When I used to teach motorcycling, this was a key point that I would harp on with students. Your helmet goes a long way towards determining level of injury in a crash, but what's in the helmet is the sole determinant of you crashing. People so often forget...- Copper

Bicycle Helmet?!
Though I know that it has well been covered here, I have to wade in a bit on this solely because I too have 'used' a bicycle helmet for its intended purpose. I wasn't hit by a car though, I managed to crash all on my own when I came too quickly round a corner and highsided after I caught my...- Copper

Tempest Storm is still at it!
It sounds like she still enjoys what she does; If she can do what she enjoys at 80, if she can draw a crowd, if she can entertain, then power to her! That she can still do this at 80 is a remarkable testament to her willpower, her continued fitness, and her ability to entertain. You have to...- Copper

4/40, 9/80?
I am in law enforcement, but in a specialist investigative role. I work 10 hour shifts, normally Monday to Thursday, 0700 - 1700h. I quite like it myself, though I have the freedom to self adjust my schedule. 4 on 3 off works well for me, though I have worked variations on this theme... I have...- Copper

Show us your vehicles
That's a Suzuki Cappuccino, isn't it? I didn't know that any of those made it stateside. We have a 15 year import rule here in Canada so the first of the Cappuccinos are starting to be seen on the roads along with the Honda Beat.- Copper

What makes you feel vintage?
I was cleaning the dust, bugs and road muck off one of my motorcycles the other day, plus doing a bit of routine maintenance and had a moment of realisation that made me feel like a bit of an anachronism: I am no mechanic by any means, but I know what each part on my motorcycle does. Apart...- Copper

Do you wear your watch on your right wrist? If so, why?
I teach a somewhat specialised class with a segment on determining a person's dominant side. The majority of people wear their watch on their non-dominant side. i always do a straw poll though when I teach; usually about 10% of the class bucks the trend and wears their watch on the dominant...- Copper

Anyone else drink Lophraig?
The decaf/skim combo was usually abbreviated to 'Why Bother' in the coffee shop I worked in in University here too... It would be added like a tag to whatever was ordered - "Tall, why bother, Cappo"...- Copper

Show us your vehicles
I know neither of these are cars, but the thread does state vehicles. These are a couple red aircooled vehicles which have kept me amused for a few years now. The Piper is currently the oldest of my menagerie of things with motors (though I hope to change that soon). It is a 1968. The...- Copper

Freebird - love your old Falcon! My grandfather too smoked a Falcon, which I inherited when he passed a couple years ago. Still has his last-ever plug of Erinmore flake in it too. I bought my own Falcon, as I couldn't bear to clean it out. I find that the 'radiator stem' - especially combined...- Copper

Fashion fads we love to hate
I have to say that aesthetics aside, I love the super baggy jean/short trend, especially when combined with crocs, flip flops or any other ill-fitting footwear. These trends are often adopted by youthful ne'er-do-well sorts, you see. Such otherwise ill-advised sartorial choices make them so...- Copper

Belstaff/Drizabone Trialmaster Wax Cotton Jacket
Edward, if you can't find a suitable Belstaff or Barbour, you may wish to consider the Kakadu Nelson. Though not in the same quality league as Barbour or Belstaff, I think it offers considerable value for money. The inside of the collar is a soft leather as well, which is a nice touch. I...- Copper

It rather reminds me of the Peterson 'P-lip' mouthpiece, which does exactly that. I couldn't quickly find a good photo online of one, unfortunately.- Copper

Belstaff Trialmaster -- are these authentic?
Belstaff has become increasingly a fashion company (as opposed to a gear company) since joint ventures with an Italian fashion concern in the '90s. It was taken over completely in 2004. I managed to get one of the last original Trialmasters last year (fortunate to be a XXXXL in Trialmaster's...- Copper
