  1. Muji is my favorite store to find simple and clean EDC stuff. Their pouches are especially useful for protecting small stuff like cell phones and cameras. Their handkerchiefs are pretty cheap as well.

    what's in my backpack?

    dsc0401w.jpg

    from top to bottom, left to right:

    -graph paper composition book

    -muji leather pencil pouch with pens, markers, moisturizer, and steel ruler

    -tissue

    -zig-zags, y'know... in case.

    -single toothpick

    -earplugs

    -gum

    -declaration of independence

    -2 shoelaces in black

    -multi-tool

    -sunblock

    -cigarette case with cigarettes and matches

    -electrical tape

    -pen

    All in my Maxpedition pack with a 32 oz water bottle. Used to carry a titanium spork and a pocket can opener but I never used them so I took them out.

  2. yea my friends have said the same. one of my buddies took a nasty fall just this past month off a freeway exit ramp; still on crutches after surgery no less. think the doctor said he's gonna have a minor limp for the rest of his life.

    well, i hope you please pardon the above stupid question.

    I've fallen a total of 5 times. Twice on a track with a leather 1-piece suit that were not a big deal at all except a bruised shoulder. Another two times on a scooter during a storm and over gravel(separate occasions). I was fine both times and got up right away to my ride still idling on the side of the road. My shoe came off on the second accident and I spent a good 5 minutes finding it.

    Another time was when I was learning how to drift on supermotards and at the exit of the turn, I gave it a lot of throttle to try and wheelie out but my front tire came down at a different steering angle and crazy tank slap ensued. No steering damper to compensate and I just tried bailing off to the side before I flew into a hard object. The bike sideswiped a brick wall and I slid across asphalt until I stopped just a couple feet away from the curb.

    I haven't had a serious injury yet and I've actually never broken a bone. The worse injury was when my shoe came off and my right ankle had disgusting road rash that has left a clear quarter-sized patch of skin on my ankle. The result of quickly spraying super glue all over it and having no scab.

    So always wear gloves, a heavy jacket, if not a leather one, boots that cover the ankle, and a helmet.

  3. I'm going to extend this until tomorrow!

    I vote for those SEXIH01s. It'd be a perfect jean to put on display since it's a collaboration. Not to mention they look amazing; not too much indigo loss but just enough to tell they've been worn hard.

    peterparker, you got a PM.

    Does anybody else on sufu have a IH Super Black Rider's Jacket? Looking to pick one up and want to know how it "ages".

  4. Want to get rid of your old Iron Heart jeans for $200 worth of Self Edge store credit?

    I need a really well worn in pair, if your pair was worn for OVER one year please post a few photos (no more than 3) of the jean in this thread.

    I need the jean by the end of this week.

    I'll trade mine for a brand new pair of 301s size 29. They're getting repaired by Julian right now. or you know, 301sbk...

    Or you could get whatever remains of those jeans that ended up on that stab victim 10 pages back or so..

    When are you gonna be back at SESF? Got a different bike, vintage honda enduro and I need a proper jacket;)

  5. 1978 honda XL350. in pretty mint condition with only 7293 miles.

    Less than 200 miles on a rebuilt engine with new gaskets and seals. new tires, brakes were gone through, seat is NOS. Mostly rust-free, only a little bit of pitting on some random parts and the exhaust tip.

  6. ouch. my friends would be at the bottom of the bay for pulling that shit haha. They look really good tho, by the way.

    I didn't realize until they told me. I always assumed it was because I'd lean up against my motorcycles. Then it was penis shaped for a while and that's when they finally told me.

    ugh crotch blowout(s). be prepared for crazy repair photos when I get these back.

  7. hey, i've got a question about APC's: i bought the petite standards in 26, but i've read a lot about them stretching like mad. they fit me perfectly as is, so i'm wondering if i should return them and size down to 25s? or if i should keep em and do a soak to shrink em as much as possible? i'm trying to avoid the baggy action, and as these are my first pair, i'm kinda nervous!

    size down one and hem them! I think the old rule used to be size down 3 on new standards but I don't know how that works with the petit standards.

    p4rkkit should know, she's worn her APCs for a while

  8. How do you guys sharpen your EDC knives?

    I have this on my motorcycle/bike lock/scooter keyring.

    http://www.benchmade.com/products/983902X

    I haven't used anything else to sharpen my knives and it works just fine. I use it to sharpen the kitchen knives too. I was afraid it would only dull the M4 steel on my knife but it brings it to a razor sharp edge.

    I used to use my belt as a leather strop but never really knew if it got sharper or not.

  9. seriously, will anybody in japan proxy me caster 7 cigarettes?

    Every website quotes at least $60 for a carton and I even saw a carton go for $90.

    They were 11USD for a carton at the taiwan duty-free...

  10. sex141.com my uncle gave me this website 3 years ago.

    i was hitting on mad kagz in lan kwai fong, so many it's hard to choose just one if you get my drift...

    it doesn't help that HK dudes are either really fat or really skinny and have zero game.

  11. you didn't get that from CNAA#2 did you?

    and were you practicing your signature? lol

    nah, Nor Cal Herbal Relief Center. It's just down the block so it's convenient.

    and yeah, practing my signature ^_^. it's incredibly incriminating but I just got a new rhodia pad and when I'm baked, it's like I'm ice skating with my pen.

    I had an 8th and 24 hours to kill it before I left on a plane to get that altitude

  12. fufufufufuuuuuu

    im gaining a little weight and now my 301s are killing me. does someone know how to stretch out the waist more than what it stretches into after a month of wear? would it help if i'd wash them and worn damp?

    They'll only get tighter before they get looser if you wash them. I would just keep wearing them.

    Have you thought about just hitting the gym or doing calisthenics? It's always amusing how often people will want to alter their $300+ jeans instead of just exercising a little bit each day.

    and I really don't want to hear about how hot it is and how 21oz is unbearable either. I'm in Hong Kong right now where it's 91F and 80-85% humidity and I'm doing just fine.

    man. the. fuck. up.

  13. 10 perfect cars you say?

    -Porsche 911 GT2 RS

    -NSX Type R

    -Alpina B7

    -Nissan Stagea Autech RS260

    -BMW X5 Le Mans

    -Tommy Kaira ZZII

    -Mazda Miata

    -Ferrari F40 LM

    -Mitsubishi Fuso Turbo Diesel Flatbed with Crane

    -Nissan 350Z Nismo. oh wait I already own this.

  14. Contemplating a pair of momotaros. I have been wearing slim cut jeans and would normally go for the 0701s but I'm looking for a slightly looser cut than my 301s.

    I know at least one person here has had the 0201s but they look almost like a straight fit. Anybody else have any suggestions?
