Bowtie001 · 03-23-2007, 07:16 AM

Used to be RC cars, trucks, plane and boats. Stunt kites are great. Now building wood furniture (sorry no pics) and finishing the never ending honeydo list.

motorcycles, motorcycles, motorcyles... in fact.. this is the "other hobby" when it comes to bikes.

**Hart_Rod** · 03-23-2007, 08:37 AM

Day job.....

67ChevyRedneck · 03-23-2007, 08:50 AM

I can only afford one hobby at a time.

I build model cars and trucks when time permits.

Spray-Bomb · 03-23-2007, 09:57 AM

I'm into way too much stuff

I like R/C trucks

2 RC10GT's (Both highly modded)
1 NTC3 (not really a car anymore... he he)
1 T-Maxx (hope to sell soon)

Collecting old stuff (I know thats wide range)
Mostly antique fans, but also whatever is cool to me

4-wheelers

And tons of other things that I don't feel like listing (takes too long)

I don't necessarily consider a lot of this stuff as a hobby, but I guess it really is

I'll try to get pics of some of my junk

Spray-Bomb · 03-23-2007, 09:58 AM

Oh yeah, I forgot

Paintball

faribran · 03-23-2007, 10:11 AM

turkey hunting.. and RC airplanes...... zoom, zoom

faribran · 03-23-2007, 10:13 AM

Bob.. i like ur Rans...

glock35ipsc · 03-23-2007, 10:15 AM

Last ones... my new CNC plasma cutting table. It's a little farther along since these pics were taken, it's actually cutting stuff now!

And the last one....., well, I gotta have some way to afford all this stuff! And yeah, I actually consider trading a hobby. It's fun....when things go green. Not so fun the other way around!

Hook'em · 03-23-2007, 10:16 AM

Fishing, kayaking, and watching the University of Texas Longhorns.

Thanks! It's a fun little U/L to fly, but I think I will be selling my half out pretty soon. As you can tell by the other pics, I just don't have much time to fly anymore

bagged91 · 03-23-2007, 10:19 AM

Besides GM trucks & cars, I have a nice Vintage HO train collection. Mainly American Flyer/Gilbert HO but there is also a large amount of Varney & old Mantua/Tyco trains(I actually have more Mantua trains than the Mantua museum!). Along with that I collect Vintage Hess trucks(1964/5 "B" Mack tanker pictured) & other memorabelia. I still occasionally build models. Lately it has been of Vintage AFX cars such as the pic below of the Arnie Beswick altered wheelbase 63 Tempest. Old rail is in the backround. Also collect old tools. This is a 1939 Craftsman aircompressor

**hevy_chevy67** · 03-23-2007, 10:22 AM

I absoulety hate winter, but Im really into snowmobiling, and im a pretty big video game guy.

SacramentoJoe · 03-23-2007, 10:35 AM

I used to fish, snow ski, and jet ski. Now with family and kids I occasionally find time to pitter around our small yard and do gardening stuff. Its almost time to plant some vegis for homemade summer salsa. Eating fresh strawberries and blueberries while I water, I find that relaxing.

randomhero472 · 03-23-2007, 10:37 AM

i'v got to many hobbies... i race a tag kart, race supermoto and just got my first ar15... need to cut back on the hobbies!

BACKYARD88 · 03-23-2007, 10:54 AM

Up until a year ago I was into fourwheelers.

I had just gotten mine set up like I wanted it when someone STOLE it.

That was 12,000.00 gone in one night. Since then I've kinda lost intrest in them and now it's just trucks.

Mt Man Chad · 03-23-2007, 11:11 AM

Jonce · 03-23-2007, 11:13 AM

My favorite hobby is sledding, nothing else like it. Being that I live in MN, the snow hasn't been the best so I head out West a couple times a year now.

Sled
2007 Polaris RMK 600 155"
660 Carls Cycle big bore kit
SLP exhaust
HPS can
Racepak Avenger I gauges
All venting to side panels and shock towers
Many more small items

I also have a '06 Suzuki M109R that I like riding

When I'm not wrenching on the '71 or riding the bike, I like to go wakeboarding and wake skating behind my bro's boat ('05 Ski Centurion Avalanche).

Those are my main hobbies. I had a '04 Sportsman 700 4x4 atv but recently sold it due to lack of use. I picked up a gas powered Revo RC truck a couple of months ago, I'm excited to drive that around when the nice weather pops.
