Other Hobbies?

My main other hobby is bicycling. Added a new steed to the stable yesterday, finished assembling it today.

Lightning P38 recumbent, one of the fastest made.

Funny you bring up biking...I bought a portable bike pump today, going to start mountain biking now that the weather is cooling down.

I did a little bit of high altitude hiking this summer, and will continue doing so, so much to see out there...

Latest craze is this:

We are having a ball with them, and hopefully I'll pick up a couple more soon...

Couldn't ask for a better hobby. Something that keeps you in decent shape, and is fun. Nice set of bikes SFT, and nice games Scott. I bet that could get addictive!... you gotta have a lot of space for those :)

Got back into model cars a couple years ago. Lots of fun for me.

Mike

I like to hunt and fish so I do collect guns, hunting bows and also have over 5,000 vintage comic books.. Part of the reason why I'm always broke..lol

I do the biking thing as well -- road bike is a nice workout and it is fun to move that fast, and mountain biking is a rush trying not to eat a tree!

Also got into triathalons a couple of years ago, but the work schedule in the summer has kept me from getting in shape enough to finish them.

My big hobby is fantasy baseball -- rotisserie baseball to be specific, and we do everything with old school rules (no all star teams, and no weekly matchups).

I also follow college football and basketball pretty closely - recruiting and all of it (hence my screen name).

-Brian

I had a very nice vintage knife collection of U.S. and German knives and also Military patches. I ended up selling out to buy redlines.

Remote control planes and cars for me,and oh ya the honey do list keeps me busy also.

Gorgar!!!

I played that game SO MUCH as a kid!
The phrases that game spoke cracked me up.
I haven't thought about that game in 30 years. lol
Very cool. :cool:

I collect other vintage toys, vintage motorcycles and minibikes, RC planes, cars, helis, boats ...I have a full basement...1800square feet....I need to downsize... This just a little sampling.

Right now I'm pretty into R/C Slash racing. I also have a brushless RC8Te truggy.

[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v414/Yonderwheels/silverado.jpg[/img]

Good stuff Ryan. I got the platinum slash...then put a buggy body on it...its a great truck, and I like the sealed electronics...run in snow and puddles, and don't worry about frying anything out.

I love the EK picture with the Mego action figures and I believe I even spotted a 6 Million Dollar Man toy in there.

My main hobby is collecting hard rock, psyche and heavy metal vinyl lps. I have about 20,000 of them and NO, that is not a typo LOL

Me and my boyfried, GranTorinoSport, fish and go to airshows. We mostly like the old WWII planes. Since we started dating we both have flown 3 times on a B-17, twice on a B-24 and once on a B-25. The 17 is still my favorite.

I also collect Scooby Doo items, from games, cookie jars to stuffed animals. Every room in my house has something Scooby Doo in it. I even have a xmas tree that is just Scooby.

I spotted the game right away....remember the phrase too...."You...hurt....Gor...gar...." followed by that evil laugh, my son picked up a Wii pinball hall of fame game and it's on there.

Very cool idea for a thread. Nice stuff guys. Love the pinball machines. Also love the bikes [B]SFT[/B]. As [B]illini5 [/B]said, watch out for those trees while mountain biking. I also do mountain biking and I love it! Here are some pictures of my 2010 GT Avalanche 2.0. I love this thing!

fantasy football and craft beer.

Love the new steel bike Ted. I see you going old school with the bar end shifters.
Bikes are also my other hobby. Bike racing is my thing so there is a lot of time spent training as well as multiple bikes to train on.
Here I am at the start line of a race this summer - I'm #745.

Here is mid race, moving up on the inside.

Man, some great pictures in this thread! Absolutely loved seeing the shots of the Stompers! I collect BWs and reds, as well as Tomica and 1:43 Dinky and Spark. I kayak, skateboard, climb, hike, camp and backpack alot, travel, watch alot of movies (looking forward to Ridley Scott's 'Alien' prequel 'Prometheus' in June of 2012!), raise plumerias, drink craft beer (Stone! Russian River!) and head to the high desert to camp, drink and 4-wheel. Here's my '90 22Re 5-speed in the mountains above Calico - My second 4Runner, I've had this truck for about 12 years and have taken it as far north at the Arctic Ocean at the end of the Dalton Highway in Alaska:

I have to say that the Toyota 22re motor was probably the best engine ever.

I have too many to list,here is one from a Samoan bouncer on the Hawaiian island of Oahu.On a scale size,I can easily fit four of me in this shirt.It goes down past my knees if I put it on.

I have too many hobbies, all with roots in my childhood: Hot Wheels, comic books (and original comic book art), stamps and toy soldiers. Hot Wheels and comics are the constants, though.

Another hobby of mine...

I started collecting Star Wars even before Hotwheels. I dabbled in Hotwheels a bit. George Lucas' greed kind of destroyed that for me but I still collect Boba Fett figures. Oh and Tattoos' were a big hobby for a while too lol. You will see a couple of them in here as well.

Lately though my biggest hobby is my family. We recently increased our family by one person by taking in a homeless girl that was good friends with my daughters. So now we have 5 teens in the house which does not leave much time or money for anything else lol. I don't think I would have it any other way though.

Man, thats just some real cool hobby stuff. Glad to see so many unique ideas, and people having fun. Thats what life is all about! Passion, and fun in every step of life.

I have been an avid surfer since 1978. I don't surf as often as I used to, but go as often as I can. Dave.
