  2. Thanks. The carbs need redone on that one. Been sitting too long. These bikes don’t care much for ethanol fuel.
  3. 10 months, amazing! Congrats Pumpkin! Martian, we got about eight more to go LOL. Then what?.. One more day…
  4. The carbs are a pain in the ass.
  5. That’s a 1978 Suzuki GS1000. I took it down to the frame, sandblasted and repainted and replaced everything that needed. I’m down to the bodywork now with the tank internals being incredibly rusty and dirty. Working on that… I do most all of my own work except things that require special high dollar tools. I also have a 1983 GS 850 Shaft drive that has been hacked to hell but it’s still fun. Kind of looks like a café bike. I’ve had several of these classic Suzuki’s that I buy cheap non running, fix up and sell. Sometimes I make a little bit, sometimes I lose a little bit. But I enjoy doing it.
  6. I bet that is one hell of a fun bike. Looks well-kept.
  7. Nope again, just cause I can Happy to see Latoya and Lee…
  8. She started it with the clutch engaged LOL
  9. Doreen, I think you’re better suited to ride ‘bitch’ LOL. Not calling you a ‘bitch’, just a figure of speech LOL… Reciprocity, Maybe I’ll wear a full face helmet this year LOL. Used to wear a three-quarter or half helmet just so I could light up at red lights. Horrible, I know… What kind of bike is that?
  10. Do things you don’t relate to smoking. Can’t smoke in the shower, I showered a lot. I also walked, something I did and didn’t smoke. Just keep in mind whatever you’re feeling will pass. It goes away. One day at a time. If necessary one hour at a time. If you don’t want to smoke, and you are determined not to smoke, you won’t smoke.

    What size?

    Heh, Camel love…
  12. Just like a drug addict laying out a line, or trying to find a vein, or making sure your “ rig” is ready, all adds to the addiction. Any act of doing the drug adds to the addiction. Hell, even going to see your dope man is all part of the rush. Trust me, I know.. For me, my entire life is a trigger. Everything I do, everywhere I went, and everything said revolved around cigarettes. But I started quitting years ago without even realizing it. We quit smoking in the house more than 10 years ago. I quit smoking that last cigarette right before bed. A cigarette was not the first thing I went to in the morning. I didn’t smoke after sex, unless we had sex outside LOL. But I still managed to smoke between 20 and 40 cigarettes a day. After a meal, leaving a store or first thing when I got in my truck. Partying, drinking and smoking weed made me want to smoke cigarettes, still does. My young son in law told me once that it doesn’t matter what I think or what triggers hit me as long as I don’t smoke. Simple enough.. yeah lol.. I like to be outside. Springtime is around the corner. I enjoy spending time in the garage working on motorcycles and such. That’s when I smoked a lot. Triggers triggers triggers... Going to have to figure out a way to enjoy my hobbies and what I enjoy the most without smoking.
  13. Rolling/making Your own smokes only adds to the addiction. I have that same kit you’re talking about. Although I didn’t use it exclusively I did use it from time to time. More of a fun factor for me. Plus I couldnt make enough cigarettes for my addiction. Keep on keeping on.
  14. Anyone can quit, even you. I swear to god if I can quit, anyone can. Cigarettes do nothing for you. They take away your time, your money and your health.

  16. Congratulations on the quit. That’s awesome! A few years ago I was a member of a motorcycle related bash board. Basically like the one you speak of where people call each other names all day LOL. Pretty much anything and everything was allowed except personal threats and child porn. The import versus Harley debate was very big. Actually got to know some of them and even rode with some. It was all in fun unless you took anything personal. Really have to have thick skin.

  20. Candy is bad. Someone with an addictive personality such as us should not be replacing nicotine with candy. That would be that lateral move you speak so much of. Obesity is just as bad or worse than smoking. I’m jes sayin.. So, I would recommend we keep our fat asses out of the stores until all the markdown candy is gone.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
