Giving up sucking on Fags:

[slimjim]

mate i've been a smoker since the age of nine, yup lived on a farm up north and well, mum and dad were smokers, so yup getting smokes was bloody easy, i am now well mid 44, and have been smoke free for 13months, yup was a nonstop smoker heavy, did the heavy patches only (three weeks course and gum together, and finally gum only ,didn't use the other course's of patche's, rest of the stopping was just that, letting the mind say no,, well best of luck, and yup my friends still smoke, and i can still stand with them ,my choice as it is their's and i dont preach, stay upright.

I was going to give up smoking but riding in auckland traffic it's hardly worth it.

The amount of shit that we inhale on the motorway is fuckin ridiculous. Ciggies must be much better for you.

All these people that complain about stopping for smoke breaks on rides, why don't you ride alone? I've been thru ciggie free phases and enjoy stopping for a yarn and a breather on my rides. It's as much about the social aspect to me and it allows boomer to catch up. If I wanted to go balls out and not stop except for gas then I'd ride alone.

PS - My younger bro' used to be a biker. Hard-core, until he got his 'Blade written off by a silly old cager and his missus said..."Insurance money will be used for other things...and not a replacement bike!"

When you upgrade (coz I know you won't sell ya hornet) I want to see your little bro getting the use of spare bike. Y'know it's right.
