What are your non-motorcycle hobbies?

[mike_mike]

What do you like to do when you're not riding or working on your motorcycle?

I like to play the electric or acoustic guitar. I also read non-fiction books and do all sorts of nerdy computer stuff.

How about you folks?

[calamari]

I do all things multimedia.

Video editing/conversion/compression, practicing low-polygon 3D modeling, 'beautyfying' php scripts (from hotscripts and such), writing or recording tutorials (html and video) and posting them on forums or my website, researching game-making tools, small electronics projects, beat the carp outta players on bf1942 (been playing that one for years now), some MMO (currently SilkRoad Online), and more but I can't remember now.

What I do want to get into is flying model airplanes or better yet, remote controlled helis (anyone knows about those things?)

I had a control line for a while and wanted a an rc heli more than anything but they are expensive and i liked my bikes more


oh..i cook too...alot...

[makenzie71]

RC planes and especially heli's are more expensive than a motorcycling hobby...lol

[mike_mike]

I did some photography for a while...

e x p e n s i v e   

I couldn't justify it anymore beucase the money to pleasure ratio was terrible, so i sold all my gear.


I've always wanted to just tinker with those little nitro engines, that seems like it would be fun.

Ah hobbies...  Only if I had the time for all of 'em...  Here are the hobbies in order I actually make time for:

Wife
Band
Eating
Sleeping
And sometimes playing poker[/list]

Other than that, there's not enough time in the day...  If I could kick my annoying sleeping habit, I could do all the other stuff I love.

I love photography, but have a crappy camera that I never use.
I love building things from wood, but have few power tools and nowhere to use them.
I love model building, but haven't built one since I was about 12.
I love playing all kinds of video and computer games, but if I actually indulge, I make no time for anything else (on-the-wagon game addict).
I love snowboarding, but F'ed up my ankle and all the snow melted.
I love wakeboarding, but don't own a boat or a wakeboard.
I love playing paintball, but I stopped playing when I was unemployed 4 years ago and haven't played since then.
etc...  etc...[/list]

is work considered a hobby?

[Turd Ferguson]

Mmmmm bicycling.  I am obsessed with mountain and road biking.  I logged 5,000+ miles last year road biking, and probably around 1,500 mountain biking.

Look in the background here...


I told ya...its an obsession.

have you considered a hobby of complaining about things you can't/won't do as hobby? 

[Mr.7]

Just look at my custom title and you will know what my other hobbie is

[Alphamazing]

My time right now is divided between engineering, motorcycles, and my girlfriend.

If I didn't have work or school and had plenty of time to pursue the things I'm interested in:

Hot Rods (I want to build/restore one)
Photography (I've got a crappy camera, but I still want to learn)
Jiu jitsu (did it for a while, but didn't have enough time to commit)
Building stuff (just stuff, don't really care what. Models, support structures, bridges, decks, etc...)
Video games (they take away from studies, so I rarely play them anymore)
Waterskiing (used to ski regularly, but parents sold the boat and haven't been in a long time)

The list goes on. Lots of little nerdy/geeky things.

[Mr.7]

Hot Rods (I want to build/restore one)

My dad has a 48 Plymouth that we work on over the winter. It's pretty fun but it can be alot of work. If I had a pic handy I would post it but I don't. I'll post one later.

Please do! I realize they can be a lot of work, but it's also worth it when you get it just right. That's also why I want to take an old CB550 or CB750 and turning it into a café racer.

...umm...hmmm...

I'm with Mak...  I really don't have any hobbies anymore...  Kinda got sick of computer technology (programming), used to be obsessed with modding my car (too expensive)

[roguegeek]

Apparently, I like to play with dolls.
