    KB'ers that smoke...any?

    Are there any people here that smoke (tobacco only)

    Just remember the yamaha building at Paul In NZ's and i was the only smoker. (put my butts in my boot so as not to wreck the garden and lawn)

    does anyone stop for a "smoko" on rides? or just wait till a stop?

    just wondered

    Not guilty. Haven't smoked since high school. Mrs H is a menthol girl.

    Guilty, but do not as a rule have spacific "Smoko" stops, just wait till everyone has a stop.Either gas or pub stop, occassionaly stretch the legs stop, just whenever I guess.

    eek Not me

    I've tried it, but I don't like the taste, or anything else about it. Besides, for one pack, you can half, or even completely fill your bikes tank
    And now that I think of it, I don't really drink either. I used to, but I don't enjoy the taste of just about anything out there. When I find something I do like, I'll take it up again

    Hehe, boy am I one hip 20-something
    But we all have our vices I guess.

    well I used to smoke until getting pregnant with baby #1, gave it up, glad I did, smokes were $1.57 for a packet of winfield red back in those days, when I smoked I used to light up as soon as work was finished, so I'd flip my visa up and ride really slow on my way home cos I had been hanging out all day, (my boss wouldn't even let me light up at lunchtimes and smoko's) even so my fag would always end up burnt up on one side and untouched on the other.

    Yep I smoke, not very much.
    I find if your out on a really good ride and having a ball there's nothing like parking up somewhere with a view, cause this country has too many world class views to list, have a smoke (tobacco) and think about nothing for a while.
    Usually I'm the same as Mongoose, wait till everybody stops or just a leg stretch stop.
    I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    guilty as charged no special smoko stops, just go with the flow
    asked Mom if I was a gifted child ... she said they certainly wouldn't have paid for me.

    Yup. I smoke, but it doesn't make me feel guilty in any way, shape or form.


    Umm, as to stops while out on the bike, I tend to stop for other things, like petrol, or leg stretch, or bum feeling rediscovery, or food, but rolling a smoke is one of the first things I do. I can go a couple of hours no problem without a break when I'm on the bike. And I can get through a movie (even the 3 hour LotR's movies) or several hours at a time at work, or gossiping & dinner at mum's without getting any cravings, so ner.
