🦆 Ay up, duck! These 1960s vehicles are Alvis Stalwart, left abandoned in the forest somewhere in Scotland. British soldiers nicknamed them the Stolly. These 6x6 high-mobility transports are amphibious; they run on land and float in water. Two vector-thrust jets propel them through rivers and lakes. Kind of like massive, angry metal ducks. #Military #Scotland #History #WeirdCarMastodon #Photography #Forest #Machine #Vehicle #Truck

I've researched alternative SPD shoes, found good to great ones, yet had to bring all sizes to cm because of the wild size tables. Otherwise I could have ordered shoes which are too small. One of the good other brands has a very sturdy & nice looking shoe, but they don't go larger than 11 and 1/2, which according to their custom sizing table, is a number of centimeters smaller than what I need. There are other fantastic SPD waterproof boots, which also have that annoying sizing difference between Shimano and theirs. These cost a whopping USD 350, 3x more than a complex effect for my audio effects rack. They are made of genuine leather though. Of the last sets of Shimano SPD shoes that I bought, one got ripped open at the big toe, after a run of the mill 0 km an hour stationary fall, which I broke perfectly, with the compliments of my Judo experience. That has been the breaking point for me forcing to ditch Shimano SPD shoes also. Shimano budget SPD shoes are a liability now. I do not want know what may have happened to my feet, if it was a 30 km an hour fall. I have a reserve pair of those shoes which I have to wear now for obvious reasons. #Cycling #training #velocidad #PPE #race #machine #ThreadedRodsForBeginners @MatthewNewell@mastodon.social

You have to be wary of where you buy these now though because even brands like this one now deliver very low quality PPE for steep prices, totally defeating The purpose of the PPE. Shimano quality has dropped exponentially in the last two decades. #Cycling #training #velocidad #PPE #race #machine #ThreadedRodsForBeginners
