New England B.S. Thread

Ya the money is crazy . I try not to think about how much I've spent in the past 15 years .
I liked the side effects with chantix . Crazy dreams , I'd sleep like 4 hours a day but have tons of energy lol . I can never remember dreams unless I'm on the pill. Strange I know but that's me.
Stick with it

 

I started at $1.50 a pack, always said if they hit $4 a pack I was done. Yeah how did that work...although over $100 a week sux, it's nothing compared to my bar tabs when I was still drinking that badass hit $400 a week easy.

I tried it a few yrs ago and only had the stomach upset now and then..used that as an excuse not to see it through then but this time I really gotta give it my best effort.

 

Keep us updated, i have also been thinking about quiting lately. Good luck!

 

Saw this yesterday at my gun club's game dinner. Met the guy. NTC member. Cool rig. SAS

 

^ Which gun club are you a member of? I have been looking around, I want to join a place some time this year.

 

That's a bummer about not having 6th gear, I wasn't aware of that. That might not be a good bike for me, I need it to be able to hold highway speeds for at least short stints.

I actually found 2 of them for sale. The one I looked at was at MOM South in Forxborough but they are always way overpriced. They wanted $3,300 for a 2002 DRZ400S but it only had 1,400 miles on it. I was going to try to trade them straight up for mine because they had a 2002 Suzuki Katana 600 with more miles than mine and they wanted close to $4,000 for it They're consistantly priced at $1,000 - $1,200 over KBB.

The other one I found is a 2003 with dual sport tires, 10,000 miles, 2003 and he wants to trade for a street bike. I haven't contacted him yet, but that might be a good deal if I can get it done. It has a lot of aftermarket goodies and is ready to hit the trails.

 

Good luck bro!!!

I quit like 2yrs ago cold turkey and havent looked back......now I only smoke stuff thats worth it!

Hoping it goes well for you! Get healthy

 

Had jeans on. My back tire is no joke lol

 

I know you like Suzuki there is the Yamaha WR450 wasn't made for long dual sport and have a 250 version. Could always go Hypermotard but I think that will break the bank

 

if you got the cash hyper all day . very fun bike to ride . pricey though

wr 250 i think is very under powered . i have not rode a wr 450 though .

 

I would love to have the Hypermoto but cash is an issue. I'm just poking around and trying to find something I can trade mine for.

I'm not set on any particular brand, the DRZ just seems to be the most common. I wouldn't mind an XR but they are tough to find and I can't handle the XR650, it's way too tall for me to comfortably ride. I have found a few KLX and KDXs also that looked decent but were beat to hell. The new dual sport that Yamaha came out with looks nice but it's too new for me to trade for. The new one is fuel injected

I'm not in any rush, mine still runs great and is fun to ride, I just don't need the screamer any longer and want to get back into trail riding. With the baby on the way, I've decided not to drive the bike to work anymore so I want to be able to hit some trails on the weekends at least.

 

Up in Maine for the next few days. It is so damn nice out right now. It's killing me sitting here at my desk looking out the window at the sunshine. Wish I was outside right now.

 

I quit when I was 21 and started again..oh well, what's done is done. I just would rather not fork over any more money to Uncle Sam for the damn things. Pisses me off royally for all the bitching about smokers they love the revenue from it don't they?

 

I've dipped and smoked off and on since 17ish. I can't quit smoking in 2 seconds. Put a lip in and I won't touch them for 6 months then ill get bored. I have anxiety that started while smoking so when I stop I'm a grump lol.

 

Hondas are some coin too. Mine is an 86 with the RFVC head and dual carb a primary and secondary. Thing is an absolute tank. It takes all the rocky big roots and jagged hill climbs. Run flat out for miles on end, gets air born. I rode this bike like I stole it. Has yet to let me down besides 2 levers from trees and a kick lever.

 

Guess you just like having things in your mouth

 

Get your head out of the gutter

 

P.S., when you go SAS I call dibs on your IFS parts

 

I was 14 when I started. I'm 39 now. You do the math..lol. I was a miserable bastard for a little while (yes more than usual) when I quit before but I'm just gonna have to deal with it.

Really don't feel like dealing with the cancer scare again, plus having a camera shoved in my wang and having to be awake for the fun and games made an impression on me..smokers are at a high risk of bladder cancer.
