Hi Guys ,
Just moved to Port Macquarie and would like to fing some track in the area. If any one can help that would be great. I ride a WR250f and a Multistrada on the tar also looking for a VMX bike.
Thanks in advance.

Good move, GWC. Plenty of places to ride just to the west of Port, we will have you out there in no time. Welcome aboard. I am a bit busy for the next two weekends but after that I will be right back into it. Surely I could hook you up with someone that is riding, if you are keen to get out there straight away. Keep an eye out for the Poker run early in July.
Cheers
Mick

Good onya Mick. It sounds pretty hard. Stay strong mate just keep thinkin of ya health and ya family and before ya know it you’ll be able to hit the pub for a beer without feeling like a durry.

It is hard alright,if it was easy to give up, no one would smoke. I dont go to the pub anyhow so that makes it a bit easier. My shed is going to be a challange though,just gotta keep my mind busy I spose.

Hey Mick if you go cold Turkey and can last 3 days you should be alright.. having a partner who also smokes and does not stop with you is almost a guarantee for failure imo… I’m not a believer in substituting one drug for another makes no sense to me and only enriches the pharma companies..

I am thinking about not using a patch tomorrow and see how I go, I put one on as I left for work this morning and before I got to the corner, I was in a bit of a spin, not a good spin either. :S

[Mick DMember]

Hey Menace, does Sam smoke too??

Oh bugger, you went cold turkey for a few days,then lasted a week or two on patches?? Here’s me thinking I was doing well making it to two days on patches, I was kinda hoping it would start getting easier in a day or two from now.

:S

Hey mick don’t substitute your winnie REDS for the WILD TURKEY please !There is some sort of chemical reaction in my brain when I drink it?That stuff is just as bad as the ciggies

NO I have substituted the ciggies with a bad attitude, sketchy behaviour,a wild look in my eyes and a general cat on a hot tin roof persona. Oh and a nicotine patch or two.

I did leave a bit out of that quote from Mr Kenevel. It was in fact that he drank a litre bottle every day and it was the 101 proof stuff.

Wild Turkey 101 is to be avoided. :S

Whoops! It must be the Nicotine patch that is stuffing me up. :blush: I knew full well Chris’ XR was a 400. I was just getting him mixed up with Capt Furious.

Hi Mick,

I’m off the sticks as well since the Monday following the Sofala ride, straight up cold turkey.. ..

Well done Chris, That is how you are funding all the mods to your mighty XR630 is it??

[Mick DMember]

Funny, I have never linked smoking and sex. Coffee and grog yes. After sex, I would be asleep before I could find the lighter. :blush:

I gave it a lot of thought TB and by putting it out there, maybe it will put that bit more pressure on me to succeed.
