But mainly peer pressure and to appear cool. True fact.

Do I sense a touch of sarcasm perchance?... First thing it's littering which pisses me off to start with. It just makes it alright to chuck your sweet wrappers, McD's shit or whatever else out the window and does nothing to help stop the young uns f**king up everything around them with no respect for anyone or anything. I've yet to get the chance to pass a lit butt back into someone's car but my day will come- mark my words, that day will come. Second what the f**k is an ashtray for in a car? Finally as a motorcyclist you f**kers just come across as selfish fanny's. Did I mention I don't like smoking?...

Because he's right? Jokes, jokes... . But seriously, you better not throw your butts out your car window. Just kidding. But not really.

Rubbish. I've never been an F1 driver but have lots of views on everything from Driver rellationships to regulations to design and everything in between without any direct experience...

Wait until you're paying tax and National Insurance to cover all these selfish bastards habits!! Edit: Where's Rich, smoking a rollie in his 'Cancer Research' t-shirt to put another perspective on this?!

Have you considered that he might actually like it? I have more respect for someone who can 'take it or leave it' and only does it because they choose to and enjoy it than people who smoke 40 a day because they're too weak to break the addiction... I think in reference to the original topic () if you smoke you'll still be able to ride trials no problem but you'll get breathless and need a rest more than a 'normal' () person and you'll obviously be paying for the privalege of being less fit... Depends how good a rider you are/want to be and how much money you like pissing away every day.

Anger issues much?! Don't beat about the bush, will you? Yeah exactly. Had one bounce of my chest a while back and thought it was going to go between my legs and burn my troos/tank/seat. Wasn't impressed.

Ah yeah, that brings me on to reason for hating smoking number 198; people who throw their fag butts out their car windows. Unts. Edit: Not saying that you do it Jardo just reminded me of another of my smoking pet hates!

Not quite true... if you consider the long term then of course not every smoker will die of lung/throat/mouth cancer or whatever however surely pretty much anyone who smokes more than a few a day will be adversely affected in their day to day health- lung capacity/efficiency, breathlessness etc is basically a side effect of smoking isn't it? I disagree. Joe O'Connor definitely takes that award for his grasp of evolutionary theory and science.

Me... But I think you could've guessed that!

Jason Statham<<<<<<<<Steve McQueen. As said before, smoking's for chumps . Cool beans. Good luck and keep with it!

ROFLCOPTER and QFT. Call me what you want but is Mr Hermance a little 'excited' in that last one?! What the hell was he doing anyway? Bloody frenchies...

Smoking was cool. Smoking is now retarded and chavvy.

Rightly or wrongly I see smoking as being kinda chavvy... It makes me cringe whenever I see a bunch oof people standing outside their workplace or whatever puffing away and even more so when I see a granny smoking. It does seem to be becoming more and more socially unacceptable, which is good, but I just don't get smoking I guess. That is a pretty ignorant view . Although of course you could be hit by a bus/train/stampeding donkey tomorrow, if you don't (and the odds are stacked in your favour) then surely not being out of breath from walking up a flight of stairs in the future is a good thing? In some ways I also see smoking as being fairly selfsh, both in the polluting everyone elses air but also when it comes to the amount smokers must cost the NHS from knowingly f**king up their bodies. It's a bit like alcoholics getting hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of care getting treatment and liver transplants for something they've done to themselves. Oh yeah, and while I'm on the hate campaign it pisses me off sooooo much when I see people with little kids lighting up, even outside that just winds me up something chronic and just adds to the chaviness image. Get it sorted Mr Anscombe before the wee man comes!

Smoking's for chumps. Oh, sorry Dave .

I'm sure the mototrials stuff was posted a couple of weeks ago but haven't seen him on a push bike or crosser before. Kids got skills- reminds me of Kurt Brain- pretty much anything he tries he's amazing at!

Heheh, fair enough.

Are you mental?!

Try a local engineering firm rather than LBS.

Just watched Sundays episode on iPlayer and I gotta say that was one of the most entertaining I've seen for a while... Very amusing! I so want a Lancia Fulvia (even though it does sound like part of a lady's anatomy...). That thing was gorgeous!

:facepalm:. Does it really matter?

Ah, gotcha, sorry! I don't really see why it won't work then in theory, although you may need to file down the inside of the stem stackers to allow them to pass over the flared section that the crown race should sit around.

Negative Chimp. I had them powder coated locally. Cost about £20 for the pair I think. Really hard wearing finish as well .
