What else floats your boat?

[VladTepes]

So aside from GSX1400s in particular and motorcycles in general... what else are you into?

I'm into shooting and hunting. I spend a bit of time breaking clays with the old SxS and get out after the pigs, bunnies, foxes, feral dogs and cats when I can.  The occasional deer too, I love venison !!!

I also enjoy four wheel driving, and am a mad Land Rover fan.  So far I've owned.... five.  Currently drive a 1995 Defender 130 - but not often, I'm usually on the bike whenever I can.

I have an interest in maritime history (posted thread about that previously).

... and I dabble in building computers, steampunk stuff, and whatever else grabs my attention.  Oh look ! A shiny thing !!!!

For me it is my ZRX - loved my last one and made the mistake of selling it to finance a Hayabusa - The busa was an amazing bike but was gonna end up in an 8x10 cell or a 6x3 box so had to go. Picked up a 1999 1100 a year or so ago for £500.00 and been getting all the parts refurbed before the rebuild.

I tinker about with bikes & cars a lot - my current vehicle is a 2002 Golf GTDI with is putting out about 190 bhp - and still does amazing MPG

I really enjoy spray painting and airbrushing/pin striping (not very talented at the latter) and most of the time

other than that its eat sleep work

What day is it? Tuesday? OK
Well i love my archery and i have been Chair of my local Archery club for the last three years. Our current commitee has grown our club from one of the smallest to one of the largestand well established clubs in the UK.

When im not shooting or riding im usually designing and building web sites or building PCs. Something i used to do for a living but now its more of a labour of love. I have worked for some of the largest/F500 companies in the UK (which is probably why the crash happened.. I installed their IT!)

Im a family man, 3 kids. My eldest is currently at the Royal Veterinary College in London studying to be a Vet.. She cant wait to get her bike test done but cant see the point until she is 24. My other two are still at school.

Currently i drive for Asda part time for work.. SImples..

I lead a simple life with simple needs. As long as i have my bike and my bow im happy.

For some strange reason I love my job. If you have to earn a living always better to do something you enjoy.. Other than that bikes & beer, then more beer.

[Blubber]

I like tinkering on mechanical stuff 
Luckily I am part of the Technical services team, so i could turn my hobby into my day time job.

Other than that, in no particular order: Beer, BBQ, riding the bike , driving my Volvo V70, spending time with my wife and our 6 year old daughter.

[daveh]

Karate, reading and a bit of telly.
Saw a lot of bands last year, more than I have for a long while, many of them with my daughter, who is 15.

[Red Biker]

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!

Aside from that I'm into fitness I get up at stupid o clock and go to the gym before work.

Also love cooking for the wife and boy and I've been a Forest season ticket holder for 15 Years

[ARH]

I keep it simple... every Sunday.... bike during the summer, ski during winter.  Used to do a lot of fly fishing bu that's now limited to 1 week on Grafham water in May.  Other than that it's working with a fair bit of travel to Manila, Mexico City, Shanghai, Cairo and Bangalore interspersed with the occasional 'home project' to keep her indoors happy

[Mick_J]

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 

[RIZLA750]

got  a few interests and hobbies. Around this time of year I like to get out in my defender doing a bit of green lanning, when iam not fixing it.
Also got a couple of air rifles and shotgun which are underused as well as s lovely longbow.
During the summer I do ww2  re-enacting at various shows around the country.

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 !

Love dogs and most animals "sorry Vlad" can't see any pleasure in killing anything!

I love dogs too, Have tow of the silly buggers.
Not pleasure, more satisfaction.
The animals I mentioned are all feral here and do a lot of destruction to native animals and stock.
Getting rid of those feral animals is the best form of conservation possible as far as small native critters are concerned.
