pretty much no one apart from smokers wants to defend it. never mind saying non-smokers have a blind spot about your points, you lot have a serious blind spot about how much you stink. Sounds petty, but you work in a confined space for a few hours with a smoker and you'll pretty much want to brain them with their lighter....
goes 2 ways, only non smokers will say smoking is stupid blah blah blah.
i used to be a stong anti smoker, when i lightened up a bit, accepted what happens in the world and tried it, i enjoyed it.
i wont smoke inside a non smokers house/non smoking areas, because i down want to make someone else smell.

nowadays the 'pollution' produced by cars is a lot less harmful that say, 10 years ago.
Catalitic convertors and other new fangled trickery takes care of that for us, if car pollutions really damaged our health directly then i think we would have noticed and done something about it by now.
Plus i've never heard of anyone getting lung cancer or other problems as a direct cause of car pollution.
if it wasnt bad for us, why have we got all this "new fangled trickery" to save us from pollution that doesnt exist?
driving a car makes carbon monoxide which is pretty much anti air (nothing can breath it, and if it does, it dies).
its makes holes in the ozone layer, killing forests (our air to breath) and gives us extra UV rays which gives us skin cancer.
not too healthy as it is, and getting worse.
I have however heard/seen many people getting ill from smoking and it's proven fact that it damages you health, it even says it on the packet.I would much rather run behind a modern car/truck for an hour than sit next to a smoker for 15 minutes.
ill agree with this, because its true.
but ive got free will to smoke, when i like, and its not that bad for you in moderation, especially if you do the exercise to compensate for it.
when people loose moderation (40 a day) they get lung cancer. i hope no one on here smokes that much, and i know for sure i dont.
i havnt had a shisha in ages, but its got me thinking about one.
do the people who have them on here use coals for the top?

That it kills you, and costs almost 1/3 of the average persons salary. Or around £1,000 to £2,000 a year depending on how much you smoke. Don't believe me? Work it out.
Not to mention its considered anti social amongst most groups of people and has so many other effects.
well Si, i just did the maths.
im not a hardcore smoker, those statistics are for people who smoke 20 a day, im on about 5-6 (alot to a non smoker, little to people who are on 40).
i spend (on average) £260 a year on tobacco alone. not alot better i could spend it on (IMO)
toking gana (just a £10 a week, as said on here) is £520 a year.
see the difference?
as for sociality of it, i know alot of people who hate smoking, and i do get abuse for it (including close friends). It doesnt stop me being myself.
yet i know alot more people who smoke and alot of them are close friends, so im happy with it.
-
im smoking right now, its not too clever, but im still able to ride (when my bike works), still able to get on with my day and i enjoy it.
the only downside is the money involved, but i dont mind spending it.
i started because oneday i got offered one and enjoyed it.
if i had a reason to stop, i would.

absolutely luscious, girppy, never slipped (with a bit of spray paint for extra hold) feel great, not too thick, not too thin.
and they wear into the shape of your hand. no gloves needed.

Didn't adam get arthritis?
as far as i heard atleast.
it is a shame when legends like that stop, allot of the inspiration is gone now, but theres more coming from others (CLS, Neil T, Berridge etc)
its just the test of time really
-
can someone upload it to a host thats still running?
i really want to see this vid.

bling :)

or use Gaim
its the Linux version of MSN
its got trick bits like tabbed conversations, and opens in fire fox as default.
you can set an alias to every person in your list (YOU choose their names)
easier to have multiple accounts on it.
it also tells you when some one closes the window, blocks or deletes you.
feel like annoying some one?
you can set a "pounce" to send a set message every time they type.
other than that its got everything that MSN 7 does, exept easier to use and a friendlier lay out.
and you can download loads of skins for it.
if you like firefox, you'll love this.
-
Or you could go for something completely off the wall.
General Issue.
they look pretty beefy, and come in street or dirt versions. (im guessing youll go for Dirt, as they dont look so "funny")
thats what im going for when i get some money to replace my square double wides.
Si
-
just give them a ring jake, theyve probably just misplaced it.
the worst ive had was 2 days when i paid for next day, rang them and it came on the 3rd.
-
ill be surprised if that sticks for more than 20 seconds.
nowt wrong with making pads (not that ive done it) just USE ARALDITE!
your brain thats going to be on the floor at the end of the day
-
im loving the look of that, its a beauty of a bike.
got me to the final decision of a 24" leeson infact.
-
its a little pointless as if its steel it will bend, just like the rotor, probably taking the rotor with it (if its a hard enough ding to pringle a rotor anyway)
if its a light alloy, it will just snap instead of bend.
as said, a rotor can be bent back any way.
i've managed a sidehop to rotor, without cheesing it, it works if you land straight down on it, so the force doesn't bend it (jammy landing i know)
but if you feel like making one, theres nowt stopping you.
something to fill a day i suppose.
-
done it more times than i can count on my fingers and toes, problem still persists.
any more solutions?
-
tried it, didnt work :P
looks like they have just updated and stopped any older version of msn though, bit dull.
-
msn is dull if you have it, but frustrating if you dont, and at the moment im frustrated with it.
any one got an idea of what to do with it? (apart from hit it with a hammer)
if i try to open msn 7 it sais "an error has occoured and must now shut, send an error reprty thing?"
so i downloaded 6.2 (again) and when trying to sign in it sais a newer version is availible, download it now?" click on no and it stops signing in.
any ideas how to solve it? i cant find the dont update automaticly switch, which is my best guess (if it exists)
and obviously i am connected to the internet.

Zebdi? - the biggest frame up till a year ago?
im riding a 24" one at the moment any way.
-
hi, has any one got matt staples or the chais number as wing is in london without it.
thanks
-
there are a fair few more than that, i did have one and it was absalutely lucious...
till it snapped.
watch for those bb welds lads.
-
i used to have the 2.2 and it felt unreally steable, and never felt i needed any more width.
-
well thats useful.
ive got my eye on a maxxis tyre set now, just no where does them.
any chance of new sizes tart?
-
-
ahh i know the overall awesomeness of maxxis, but didnt realise they did them in 24"
do they come in a 2.2?
i dont like these massive tractor tyres, just too squidgy, it feels like theres nothing there, ontop of the tyre clearance problems.
the only regret i have about going to 24 is no more comp 24 (Y)
Stress, While Riding

just take it by the day, if you started upping 28" at the start and can do 32" smoothly on your last move its been worth it.
as alot of people have said, when your getting stressed at gapping, try some flowing lines on a curb.
you dont have to go massive to have fun riding your bike.
