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? :cheers:
MMO's. Im a junkie
City of Villians/Heroes, Everquest 2, Star Wars Galaxies, Eve, plus several betas like Auto Assault.
I'm a turn-based strategy war/boardgamer. Axis&Allies, Risk, History of the World, Pirates of the Spanish Main
...umm...hmmm...
+1 on the nerdy computer stuff like the sims 2...film i watch a ton of them and ive done some filming for yale stuff...auctioning chickens (wait you mean voluntary ones :laugh:) i live in a cornfield there aint much to do
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...
RC planes and especially heli's are more expensive than a motorcycling hobby...lol
I did some photography for a while...
e x p e n s i v e :o
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]

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.

have you considered a hobby of complaining about things you can't/won't do as hobby? :laugh:
Just look at my custom title and you will know what my other hobbie is
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.

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.

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)
Apparently, I like to play with dolls. :mad: :icon_rolleyes: :flipoff:
I used to have hobbies...I used to love luge-boarding and a few other things...but I allowed a car hobby to interfere with them. Then my car hobby slowly became a collection of cars I'm parting out over various forums and ebay...and it's become so time consuming and irritating that I don't want to do it anymore. Pretty much the only projects I still get to pursue that I really like working with are bike ones.
Currently on my list of projects:
Getting my lightweight bandit wheels, swinger and 40mm race-tech forks on my EX500...then I'll cut off the tail I made for it and start working on adapting a K4 GSXR tail to it.
CB900 chop-project powered by a turbocharged GS750 block. Working on setting up the frame right and adapting my Ohlins F3 600 forks to the front and my TL's old swingarm with a 929RR 6-spoke 6" rear rim on the back. Then it's time to start fitting the motor. I would LOVE to do an intercooled blow-through setup but I'm working on doing this project for free...so we're going to be stuck with a straight shot draw-through setup with a Garret T25 off a Z32 300Z pulling through dual 38mm throttle bodies. Looking for 7lbs of boost.
Then there's the whole "I can't wait to get that damned yellow paint off my TL" project....
family, skateboarding, autocross, WoW, ps2, cars, balintawak...
I watch birds and have thre aquariums. :thumb:
Other then that I like to do 16oz. curls. :cheers: :cheers:
My hobby is flying helicopters. I'm going to school to be a Commercial pilot. Right now I have my private license. Pretty much all my free time is spent flying and studying for school. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be a pilot and finally got into school about a year ago.

yeah, that's one of the things I always wanted to do. There's something attractive about having to use both your hands/arms and legs to be able to fly an helicopter. I love it :icon_razz:

yesssssss muwahahahahahaha
bf2, planetside, d.o.d.s. damn near 20 hrs a week :oops:
until i return to school. mmos will be a hard habit to curtail :mad:
Pablo, what's the philosophy behind fixed gear? KISS?
I cycle as well (commute of 20 km, so it's more of a practical thing)
I rarely get time for it, but I'm into RC gliding. And all things aviation.
Haven't been a gamer since Omega Race.
Used to be road cyclist, rode some velodrome. Nothing cooler than fixed gear, makes it into a completely different sport.
Used to be private pilot, power plant mechanic; not enough activity. In aviation you need to spend a lot of time with it or not at all. Nothing is more hazardous than a sporadic pilot.
Sporadic reader, I'll read a book a week for two months then none the rest of the year. Nothing current; Bourdain, Vonnegut, Friedman.
Regular raquetball player.
Work takes me on the road at least 6 weeks a year. Wife usually goes along. So travelling is the most significant activity.
SpeedVision motorcycle road racing junkie.
Oh yeah, I work sometimes, just not very hard.
My wife and I are homebrewers. We've been doing it for about a year and it's great fun. I got a kegerator that fits 2 pepsi kegs I fill with beer and a seperate fridge for microbrews. It's awesome having 2 beers on tap that you created, plus 50 different microbrews in the garage.
Geocaching with wife and my two dogs. It's kind of like a high tech treasure hunt. Nothing like hiking for a few miles to exchange a keychain for a bouncy ball.
Huge cubs fan and penn state basketball fan. Yes, that's right, PSU basketball.
Between work and keeping up with the house, there isn't much time for other things.
I feel so lo-tech i pretty much suck at comp games
building a new GS street bike
building a vintage race bike for a friend....early 90's FZR600....vintage :cookoo:
fixing/cleaning SV up to sell
building a RG-V / DR650 (...waiting for tig welder friend to have time to do engine mounts....been a while)
playing with my lathe...turning good chunks of metal into shavings is fun
welding and fabricating....i'm getting better, sometimes it looks like a
pro might have done it..... when they were drunk
pit crew for SCCA race cars....floater...help everybody in the group
riding

and NO kids!!!!!!!!!!!
who has time for them :dunno_white:
When I'm not motorcycling, I'm automobiling!
I'm really into precision automotive performance, I have an A4 that I hope to use strictly as a track car someday. I love Audis, note the avatar, ain't that just sexy? If you need to know anything about turbochargers, EFI, or Coil on Plug ignition systems, I'm your man :thumb:
Used to have a girlfriend that I called a hobby because she took a lot of time and and money too. She didn't like being called a hobby for some reason :dunno_white:
I used to like computers, but now, I hate them, with a passion! Guess what? I'm a computer engineering student!
RC planes.....Cheap foamies with a computer radio woohoo :laugh:
SCUBA
5 liter Mustang, money pit......I don't even want to add the receipts
VW Bug, lost intrest and kept breaking tools
Like a few others, computers I'm beginning to hate. To many stupid people I have to deal with.
I have no cheap hobbies. :cry:
My son (http://www.gstwins.com/photogallery/albums/userpics/14186/thumb_tato_beer.JPG) and My daughter are my new "hobbies".
I have too many projects going on.
rebuild 86' F150 302 V8 EFI. work truck.
rebuild two GS 500's
tinkering with the 99' GS
welding (flux core and arc welding) still a noob
body work, painting (cars bike whatever)
gokarts, skateboards, rollerblades, freestyle bikes,mountain bikes......if it has wheels and I could hurt myself, I got one

My school is 60K but that is for private, commercial, instrument and CFI licenses. To just get your private cost probably 10K. It is challenging having to use both legs and arms to fly. Helo's are cool though we can do lots of stuff fixed wingers cant :icon_razz:

I do a lot of different things. I like to tinker on cars and bikes, build models, build rc cars, and would like to get back into rc flight but I know that the first thing i would do is crash right into the ground. What i need to do for that is find a good rc flight sim that i can use a real controller with to work the bugs out of me before i wreck an explensive plane.

In this order
Aquariums, riding, reading, keeping reptiles ( wife won't let me keep snakes anymore but lizards are ok ), computer games especially MMO's, watching movies.
Of course I do all those after spending time with my wife and son.
I have 5 gallons of beer brewing. I like RC planes, but I haven't done that in a while. I like tinkering with electronics. I have a dog. I'm an on-the-wagon computer game addict. I'm somewhat involved in politics.
Weather and garage condition dependent:
Maintaining, polishing and otherwise enjoying a 36 yr old sports car,
Bicycling,
Gardening( I'm my wife's "go-fer", as in "Go fer another bale of pine straw", or "go fer the hoe" :laugh:, ) The WOT?!
When the weather's crappy, I'm in the basement building a railroad.

Pablo, what's the philosophy behind fixed gear? KISS?
lots of things. first, I use it to train in the rain. so there's no mess to clean. its as low maintenance as possible, k.i.s.s. definitely. second, well, the fixed gear bikes to me are the essence of a bike in its most pure form, especially true of the true track bikes that have no brakes. I resisted selling my vintage guerciotti track bike but I hardly rode it when I was riding lots...third, for training, the fixed gear helps you develop your pedal stroke in circles for better and more power. people used to call me a sewing machine because I would do hills on the thing and coming down the hill spinning my legs/cranks at 170rpm made me look like a sewing machine...I had good spin.

that used to be an old beater a friend had. its an slx frame from the mid 80's. has loads of miles on it (he was riding for years on it doing 300+ miles a week. I comandeered it for storing it for him for 3 years...had the rear track dropouts welded on after riding it using the standard dropouts for a few years. I still love that bike the best...

some are. My race bike cost me $3500 a few years back, at a discounted race sponsor price. everyday training bike about that much. fancy race wheels (dont like them, I'm old school that way) can run $1500 for a set. tires were $80 a peice. My track bike I bought used for $1000. that Bianchi fixed gear is worth nothing-too old, unless the Campy Record components are worth something as vintage...
I collect fossils and minerals as a hobby. The only investment is time -driving and collecting. I have found a few good invertebrate specimines and quite a few nice minerals our here. AZ is a great place for lots of copper and iron minerals and has a ton of invertebrate fossils if you know where to look. Not a lot of vertebrate fossils but I know where to get small dino footprints.

Do you have any pictures?
That sounds like a neat hobby, how did you get started doing that?
Another snowboarder checking in. During the 5 minutes that there's snow here on the ground in so cal every year, I do alot more boarding than riding the GS. Hit the snow every Sunday. Course, we went to Mammoth last weekend and hubby broke his leg in new and exciting ways, so this season is probably about done for me.
Other than that, I like to sleep, read comic books, draw, take a few snapshots, go to Disneyland, and loaf around.
No pics handy but it's not too hard to find fossil localities by doing a google search. start with "fossils nebraska" or "fossil locations your state" and continue to do variations. Most every state has some sort of fossil beds.
Same deal with minerals.
How did I get into it? Not really sure, I wanted to find places to ride and it just went from there.
I play guitar and work on quads, I use to race them, but after a crash, i kinda got a little freaked out over racing again, so i only ride the ones i fix up for people, just to test them out and make sure everything is OK with it.
other then that, i am pretty much a boring person, i work on bikes and quads and crap, and play some guitar, and thats it

I retired my thumbs. my id on xbox live is 3imo also. I haven't played in about two months. I think I am suffering from withdrawal symptons.
I like to take a break every now and then so I cn forget the boards and make the game more challanging, again. also the new boards keep comming out and man what a trip, to learn a new board. makes you feel like a newb, again.
I have been playing halo since Halo 1 hit the stores. bettr than any drug out there.
heres a pic of us playing halo in Kuwait. 1.5 weeks before entering Iraq in 03'
the funny thing is that this is not NBC training we didn't know if it was an actual threat or not. someone called GAS GAS GAS and we paused the game to put on our masks and started playing again.

Hey, I'm just starting, and how much beer do you think I can drink by myself? I'm going to have to start throwing parties just so I'll be able to make more beer!
I like to dabble in just about everything. I do all sorts of shi!t. I am into IT stuff like computers, networking, Internet, security, etc. I like tinkering with my car and can appreciate a good afternoon of wrenching. Sometimes I play guitar (mostly acoustic, but also electric and can play bass), sort of sing, and write lyrics, poetry, and music. I like to write in general, and I busy myself with taking various classes and courses and learning new things. I like reading science fiction, philosophy, biography, and non-fiction. I like to travel with my GF; we take a lot of little day and overnight trips. I also like going to comedy clubs, concerts, plays, movies, dining out, BBQ's - I love anything with food! :icon_twisted: Lately I've been pretty busy with work and class and spending time with my girl (she is also my best friend, aww :kiss3:.
lots of people play guitar - cool
I play a mexican sunburst strat, telecaster and godin art&lutherie acoustic though a pod xt.
I play a Hamer Explorer, a custom Jem and then my 1964 Commadore Acoustic
when at home, i play the explorer and jem through a Peavy bandit 112 (old pawn shop special) but when practicing with a drummer, or doing gigs, i play through Randall Warhead head on Marshall 4x12 with a BOSS heavy metal distortion and some sort of unknown wah.
Its a pretty cool set up, I am trading my buddy heads because he likes my Randall head and I like his Marshall,

I forgot to put it in my hobbies but I play guitar too. I haven't picked it up in about 2 years but I've been playing for about 12 years. I have a Les Paul 1960 Reissue Goldtop, an American Tele, a Peavey Wolfgang, Mexican Tele, Mexican Strat, and a Martin acoustic.
Fender twin, and a Rivera head and marshall cabinet.
Played in a band for around 7 years through highschool and college but don't really have the time anymore. Lots of blues based stuff like skynyrd, petty, clapton, SRV, ZZ Top. Fun times. :cheers:
I enjoy shooting revolvers, semi-automatic pistols, rifles of many calibers, and shotguns. I also enjoy growing tomatoes, peppers, fishing, boating, swimming, camping and drinking beer. Not necessarily in that order. :) I love to be near or on water whether it be the beach or swamp or lake. I also enjoy cooking. That pleases my wife greatly. :) I am trying to learn how to play the guitar. I can make C, F, and G. :)

Taylor makes the best guitars. So loud. Such nice action.
I have a Guild D40 (my graduation present to myself). I suppose it is the only guitar I'll ever need, but it still ain't a Taylor.
I school it up @ University of IL.
Army ROTC stuff.
Rifle Team.
General Construction.
I paint cars/bikes whatever when I have time.
But mostly I like making slow cars fast.
My 89 CRX Turbo @ 10psi.

picked up a new hobby several months ago. Being a DJ on the internet. Now im a co-owner of a station. Which means I like to pay to deal with other peoples egos.
But its a lot of fun. My station is www.pvradio.net

I'm a turn-based strategy war/boardgamer. Axis&Allies, Risk, History of the World, Pirates of the Spanish Main
what? no dungeons & dragons??? :dunno_white: :icon_mrgreen:
Used to, but everyone I used to play with became evil characters, and I can't play them (I'm the Dungeon Master). I'm looking to sell my books.
I have a horse, riding and taking care of her is my main hobby.
Snowboarding is my winter obsession, luckily in Alberta it's winter a good long part of the year
