What's your thing?

[HurricaneHeather]

So, we are all in some way involved with motorcycles.

But what other things are you into?

I love sewing and doing dumb girly crafty things. If I was at home I'd post up some of the things I've made. Right now I am working on a basket made out of newspapers. :D

[HurricaneHeather]

Oh and I used to be big into golf, but I lost interest after I couldn't play for free anymore. :shrug:

[Cruzergirl]

I must like going to school...because that is all I seem to do when I am not riding motorcycles or at work. :bash:

[Speedracer42]

Pretty much just motorcycles. I race motocross and road so that occupies alot of time. Go carts sometimes. Swinging the clubs sometimes. Or gym time.

[KSGregman]

I'm obsessed with lifting weights. Big fan of hiking too. :idk:

[Tmall]

I can fix just about anything. And I can look at most things mechanical, without having them explained, and see how they work.

Now that I'm learning to fab, I really want my own metal shop.

The only reason I don't do mechanic work for my friends (aside from not being licensed) is because they expect so much when you're working for free that it's ridiculous. i had a buddy recently give me shit because I cut his reflector mounting brackets, ground them down and painted them so it would clean up the look of his bike. Keep in mind he asked me to do this.. Last week he bought saddle bags. They use the reflector mounting brackets to strap on to. Guess who's fault it was that they don't fit..

[buzzcutt2]

Cycling...mountain and road.

EDIT: Snowboarding also!!!!!!

[skiergirl]

Snow Skiing! I miss it since moving so far South! I used to read a lot also since I flew so much but anymore my life is basically work, riding, Gym, playing online and hanging out with friends at various functions. I guess no real hobbies other than riding at the moment.

[azoomm]

My family is first - I'm raising the next generation of over-achievers. Between marching band, swim team, etc.... then my world of motorcycles, we seem to have it covered.

I would LOVE to have some personal time.

[r1chica]

I'm a perpetual student of all things nutrition & fitness and have been since I was about 16, although I would say this year has been particularly focused for me in this area. Its definitely a hobby that I wouldn't mind making a career out of if I didn't already love what I do.

[marko138]

Drums. And bass guitar.

[Rider]

Drums. And bass guitar.

Oh yeah I forgot to add playing guitar although I rarely play now. I can't get the right tone out of my setup. My super distortion pedal sounds like church music to me.

I actually play my guitar more than my bass. Which isn't much.

[Bluestreak]

My kids, Tractors, Quads, and Fishing take up most of my time.

I hope to be able to get another bike shortly.

you should show him the thread for the guy that did his friend a favor with a fender eliminator. that should shut him up.

[Rangerscott]

Dang!!!! A lot of health nuts in the house. I'm small with a high rate motabolism so I dont need to look good on my death bed. LOL I could use some extra muscle.

I'm obvisouly an internet junkie and gamer. I'll just take off on my human operated bike and just wonder off.

I would say Im a 4x4 enthuastbut theres no where to go where i moved to.

I love working anything mechanical or electrical. Nothing like fixing something some was going to throw just because a little something stopped working on it.

Pounding the pud seems to be a good activity to keep me busy for a minute.

[Trip]

DIY Christmas Lights control systems to music - only thing I don't do is home etch the PCB

use to fly RC helis til the money needed messed with my moto fund

running this place

that's about it, my moto/honey do list time takes up too much else

[ericr]

Hmmmm, I build scale models but not as much as I used too, shooting, drinking Corona's at Hooters, that's about it. I used to fish and hunt all the time, play softball and workout all the time. I need to start working out again before I get too old for it to do me good.

[Particle Man]

Snowmobiling is another huge past time of mine
Martial arts - been into the martial arts for 25 years and been teaching for about 10

there are a bunch of other smaller things but that covers the big stuff.

[Tsunami]

Right now, my big thing is being a geek. My new hobby is reading tons of stuff, for pleasure and for school (which school is actually becoming pleasurable too)

Add me to the exercising fan club, anything that challenges my body

[Krabill]

My "thing" is that I'm into a whole bunch of different "things" :lol:

I enjoy trying new Beer Every now and then...
Photography
Food
Hanging out with my friends as frequently as I can

[Ducati Diva]

My kids, family time, and my animals are #1. Pretty much anything to do with the outdoors..gardening for food and pleasure, hiking, swimming in some cold ass water, studying plants, flowers, trees, and animals (part of my job but I like doing it). I'm taking courses to complete my paramedic training. I also am a member of my local rescue squad.

[Mrs. Colleen]

Tracking my car...getting a new race seat for the Miata for my birthday! :boobs:
Driving in general...especially when it is my turn to drive the vette. :D

[Apoc]

Golf, snowmobiling and snowmobile drag racing, getting back into the gym, comics, video games..

I really want a Nitro RC helicopter to learn to fly. But by the looks of the prices, im going to have to buy it a little at a time. lol.

[101lifts2]

Weight training
Cars stuff
Beach

[Phenix_Rider]

Other than riding?

Snowboard!
Beating the hell out of a heavy bag is always good!
I read anything I can get my hands on
Work in the garden at home
Go to car/bike shows with the old man
Would love to take the SLR out more, but scared of what the moto vibrations would do to it.



Snowmobiling is another huge past time of mine
Martial arts - been into the martial arts for 25 years and been teaching for about 10

What style? I got into MA at school. :rockwoot: TKD with a lot of fun useful stuff thrown in. (boxing, grappling, knife) No good schools around here though :skep:



All these weight lifting types are strange. Speed and flexibility and stamina (;) ladies... what, no takers? :lol:) are a lot more important to me than outright knock down a brick shithouse strength. :lol It's like comparing the V-Max to a 600cc sportbike. The Max may be brutal in short bursts, but it sucks for anything else.

Of course, I can't bulk up. I LOSE weight when I don't go the gym. I move more and more weight each time, but I'm still a skinny mofo. It's terribly funny seeing some bulky goon slug a bag for a minute and about have a heart attack, when I can go for an hour and still have the bag trying to rip the bracket out of the wall.

Cat Metal! :rockwoot:

My problem is that i don't really have a "thing", i've got bunches of old stuff... right now, projects consist of:
2 sailboats from the 1970s, neither one seaworthy
2 1960s cars, both off the road for more than a year
3 bikes waiting for restoration (79, 81, and 85)
2 old sewing machines to be fixed so that i can finish some leather projects (1953 & 1929)
A 1930s-vintage South Bend lathe taken apart, which i bought to help with a machine i assembled to sort copper pennies from zinc (which needs to be rebuilt)
High-powered air rifle waiting for me to clear a range in the backyard
Roughly a terabyte of porn i've downloaded but never have time to watch
I just bought a 1940s-vintage belt sander that needs to be cleaned up...

So much time, so little to do!
Strike that! Reverse it! :willy:

So are you like that guy in Cannery Row that loves his boat and hates the water and therefore will never finish working on your boat? :lol:

[nhgunnut]

As my screen name suggests I enjoy firearms. Oddly enough I enjoy making most anything. Lately I love to cook.

Because it attracts vermin.

The snakes and stray cats take care of those :idk:

Actually, for some reason the boats attract frogs. I always find a few of them under the cover.

When you're skinny, your going to continue to loose muscle as the years go on. If you have good amount of it at 30 and you continue to train, you still look good at 60.
