Other hobbies.......?

In my non riding time I enjoy work.

I wish I enjoyed my work. But it pays well, so I can afford motorcycles.

My hobby is trying to make time for hobbies at all. Wait, aren't hobbies supposed to be fun?
 
Recently, coming up with a new business idea has been my main hobby. That and hanging out my 6 yr old son. He has been riding a lot on his 50. I have a decent track I laid out in our yard. Made a little small table top jump and mini whoop section. Ha.

Also, I had a some serious health issues (big time cancer scare and pre diabetic) last year that has me spending time working out. It is a hobby just trying to eat right and excercise.

Bandit; I'm a Chiropractor. Business idea #1; you drive me around the country and we ride and fix these old broken GasGas riders!!
 
I get paid to use explosives.:D
It is work but on a good day it doesn't feel like work.
Have played with trials bikes for the past 35 years...that is my favorite form of 2 wheel travel.
From my work trade you don't need to guess very long where my user name came from.
Was doing a job at a local college and the day care center was beside where we were working, had a bunch of the kids come out and sing a song for me...it was "Boom Boom the blaster man"....that stuck with me so I used it.

My Chiro is the only person that can give me relief when it starts acting up.
 
Glad you liked the thread idea :) I hoped it might spark some interest.

A real Golfer amongst us Bandit - nice :D I played Professionally for 15+ years up until 2008, and then as an Amateur afterwards in some big events, playing off a UK handicap of +2 for 3 years or so. Then i kinda got out of the groove / habit of playing for a while and havn't touched a club for nearly 3 years. Havn't got the itch either as yet.

Back problems of any sort and golf dont mix im afraid as you well know. If your really enjoying them.....stick to the bikes. And the kids of course !


Amongst other things i also collect one type of golf 'memorabilia' in a pretty big way, but im not sure anyone on this type of forum would be that interested in pics of that.

Awesome. You ever play in The Open? Where at? There was a time that I would have sacrificed body parts to be a pro golfer. I tried like hell, but it wasn't to be. Am Tour has been really fun. I don't miss the agony of playing the game at all, but I miss my friends. I miss hitting my Mizuno MP67's.

What sucks is that I could be playing everyday right now, but I can't bc of my lower back issues.
 
Ski-Dooing

Here's my favorite winter time past time. Riding my Ski-Doo Renegade MXZX 600 SDI. I've been snowmobiling for over 30 yrs and it all started with needing an easier way to do my rural paper route in the winter. ($50 1970 Ski-Doo Oly at age 8) We have awesome riding here with the trails that traverse the bluff country. This year has been one of the best snowmobiling years that I can remember but it's now coming to an end.:( But I'll be on the ole GG soon!:D

When not on the bike we are probably goin mountain biking. Other than that my group also plays pump/stock class paintball, it's a awesome feeling keepin up with people shooting 10-20 shots a second with my one shot. Lastly if I'm solo i'll target shoot my recurve bow or guns.
 
Another fly fisherman here. I live 5mi from the Shenandoah. When not fishing or riding I'm recovering or drinking and posting on the interweb.
 
Way to many to list. Just picked up another guitar amp last night. Orange 15watt tiny-terror. 15 tubed watts will blow your clothes off with this little thing!!!

Nice ;) I've been hearing great things about those amps.

So far so good. It sounds good thru the Marshall 4x12 cabinet. A bit over kill?

I have a little 35 watt solid state Orange crush combo amp. It is a really cool amp with a lot of punch and a grip load of effects built in to it.

What are you playing on?
