Yes, I see your point, but equally I can't really get het up about MTBers on footpaths when the only reason they shouldn't be there is outdated laws. Of course if they're behaving irresponsibly then that's a different matter. I think you're correct about the need for a concerted campaign. I'm...

What? Tesco et al are cutting my microwave lasagne, Value lager and Mayfair fags with ketamine?! I knew they were good, but I'm off to stock up now! I always thought the Food Standards Agency were about as effective as the Financial Standards Authority. There's a reason they've got the same...

Similar arguments were used (I believe) by the ramblers, they got bored of the 'quiet persuasion' way and went down the trespass route on Kinder Scout. Seemed to be a bit more effective... I think it's probably more sensible to compare MTBs with walkers due to the similar amounts of trail...

That chap could be partially correct, but it depends on your point of view. There have been cases of heroin users who have led what most people would call 'normal' lives, though they seem to be quite a small number of the entire heroin-user population. Moderate use of opiates doesn't appear...

Yep, I certainly would, but then I'm a bit older and wiser nowadays. I'd also want to be certain the source of anything I procured was up to my usual high standards. Not to mention the moral issues of actually supporting the drugs-trade. Back when I was involved in that scene though, I was a...

Yes, and no! If the media intepretation of drug users was accurate then, yes. We should all be dead, or suffering psychoses of one form or another. In reality, the huge majority of rec. drug users either stop, or maintain a moderate level of consumption that is easily compatible with maintaining...

Hell yeah! Catcii look so much cooler than Ganga plants too!

When I was younger the legal highs that were available tended to be things like Salvia, rather than the stuff that's hit the headlines recently. So I suppose I've probably viewed them in a similar category. I.e. pretty poor and hardly comparable to the real (illegal) drug. Also, having tried a...

Fair enough, none of the reports I've seen/heard about RE:Ivory Wave have had anything on the background of the users. I just assumed they were the usual students/kids getting their kicks from clubbing and rec. drug use. I should've probably learnt by now not to assume these things, maybe...

It's all escapism of one form or another, probably similar biochemical reactions going on in the brain from adrenalin/endorphin as from many of the recreational drugs. Not sure it's fair or correct to lump most recreational drug users as junkies either. It's a bit like saying all alcohol...

Any chance of splitting the bundle Fenland? I'm interested in the cranks, but have F & R mechs and brakes aplenty right now!

Hello, newbie here I'm afraid, short time lurker, even shorter time poster! Stumbled over from Singletrackworld. Anyways, I've come into possession of a rather battered Muddy Fox Mega Ranger and I'm trying to decide whether it is worthwhile sorting it out into a bit of a retro project...
