What else floats your boat?

[lawrie]

Apart fro bike I used to be into guns and did a lot of shooting and reloading but the laws here have put the kybosh on that.  I am also into music and HiFi and listen to music every day, the louder the better, oh and Sunday I go to church 

I too, used to be a hifi freak in the 70s, still have most of my then top-end stuff , but I don't go to church. 

Globalrider, that boat & MG look fantastic, you lucky man!

froudy, love that colour scheme.

Ive previously owned 5 bikes but never been into the modding like I am now with the 14!
I work in Sales so not really mechanically minded but brave/stupid enough to have a go!

haha yeah I hear ya !
I have a Honda CX500 'project' and have come to the conclusion that I was too brave, or too stupid, or both.
Won't let that stop me though !

I never thought I'd have a good thing to say about a CX500 but they do make great looking Cafe racers.

I've had an Austin Healey Sprite forever, it has been sitting a bit unloved in the garage with a slipping clutch.

I got motivated the other day, I've pulled the engine and gearbox out, found the problem, leaking rear oil seal from a 1600 xflow engine.
I've had the flywheel lightened and balanced whilst it has been apart. I'm currently polishing the head.

I just need to bolt the engine back together and give the engine bay a bit of TLC - hopefully it will be back on the road in a month or so.

Too much info, go back to the car !

Hi lawrie,
I'm into HiFi as well - mostly '70s stuff - Sansui - a couple of  9090 DB's and G-8000 with speakers to go!
Love those 60lbs receiver amps!

... drag racing for me .. I spent years modifying a 1989 Volvo 740 turbo of all things
I am currently a board member and director of the New Zealand Drag Racing Association.

[Globalrider]

It was confronting to both the V8 guys and the JDM import crews .. a 4 banger 8 valve 1 turbo brick that was faster than their cars of choice
It was a road car as opposed to a hard out drag car, but it was awesome for all the years I had it .. and it`s one of the things I wish I`d never sold.

I love the Volvo  I've had a few Volvos over the years and my favourite was a740 estate rat car, contrary to popular belief our local branch of teh Volvo Owners Club are very appreciative of modified Volvos and I reckon they'd be all over a drag car!

Other than the 14 I have this



and if I'm not on a bike I like to drive this

[TALLMAN]

I used to do regatta sailing on a semi pro level, but now age and injury are starting to tell, also I'm a self employed boat technician which is very varied, I love my work but am starting to like the customers less and less! otherwise my 14's , travelling and preparing my retirement in the phillipines (house, land etc)

A couple of times a year I like to do some Drag Racing. It's fun to race others but it's always about a personal best for me.
