Great Job!!!! Hang in there and let me know if you need any help.  I can always stop by Ace and pick up a BFH and knock you over the head if you start again.  ;-)

I have less than one week of school left so if you need to work out any frustrations by going on a long ride let me know. Gas is on me! ....um, let me clarify that a bit....up to 2 tanks worth.  I'm not up to riding out to visit Brian, Rick or Rob just yet....

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

'82 Vision, Pearl Orange finish, lots of up-grades!!!

Congrats, Lucky! 
I tried to get my kids not to smoke . I told them they could smoke in the house , but could not exhale! or better yet,  they had to keep the burning end in their mouth ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
My son still smokes and I take every opportunity to bitch at him. My daughter (a Nurse)  was told by her Doctor to quit , but my son-in -law still smokes. Can't be easy for her.
ME, I quit when I was 19 years old. Too cheep to pay 25 cents a pack!

I had a chest xray two months ago , so I'm still good  ::)

I'll probably start my quitting program in June...

I've almost stopped drinking so the smoking is next

I'll probably get a prescription for Chantrix... I hear the only side affects are lucid dreams....

I don't know what a lucid dream is... but it sounds like fun  :D

WAY TO GO LUCKY!!

Good job on getting that monkey off your back!  I need to quit my tobacco habit.  At least mine doesn't pollute the air . . .  ::)

I think I've got the stator life extended.  Will find out on the ride to Kingman & back later this month!

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

hang in there Lucky,,, every smoker that quits is more inspiration for me to do so also .

    am working on it, right now am down to smoking but not buying --- so my "supply " has to run out soon,,,, then am going to just drop them .
keep your bike running,your beer cold ,and your passport handy.all are like money in the bank .

Good for you Lucky! If you need a substitute, chew on toothpicks.
That's what I did over 11 years ago now.
Quit on my birthday....cold turkey.
It gets easier....although there are still times when I reach for my pocket!  ::)
