Im into music and writing. Aside from building my CB750 cafe, Im working on my first novel. I've written a ton of short stories, some which have been published on the a couple webzines. I'll someday edit those and compile into a collection. I also do music on the side. Not the greatest singer, but it's fun.

So what are some of your hobbies outside of bikes?

547, that stuff is really cool. I see you're in Michigan, maybe this summer I'll pickup a new belt to avoid shipping.

Sweet. I am an avid fly-fisher & fly-tier - love bamboo rods. I am also a golfer and handgun shooter. I ride Mt. bikes, hike, workout, & run.

and handgun shooter.

target range? what handguns are you shooting with? Ruger Sp101 and Walther P99 here( looking to replace with a Glock .40). Horrible shot tho. Not hard to hit stuff with .357 and .40 cal tho. It's the smaller caliber that gets me.

Hiking, fly tying and fishing, enjoying my family, and raising fruit flies. The last one's a joke my wife makes - I keep poison dart frogs, which only eat very small insects, meaning that I have to culture jars and jars of wingless fruit flies to keep them fed.

Hobby? That would imply that I have some free time right?!?!?

Actually between working 2 jobs (I DJ weddings part time - well most weekends for 6 months a year) and being an involved father (my wife does in home day care and has an evening part time job) there really isn't too much time left especially since one of my girls does competitive gymnastics and the other is into baton.

I guess the closest thing to a hobby would be the bike(s) and when I have free time during the summer I am usually being roped into helping my dad with one of the many chores up at the cottage. It's a small price to pay though for free use of the cottage and boats etc...

I am like 78k, what free time? I suppose home improvement can be a hobby if you do it but do not really need to. I do casually play computer games. I was going to build a new system this spring but I am most likely getting a v45 magna instead!

Woodworking. Current projects are a new headboard for our bed, a stand for an LCD HDTV, and a set of 4 speaker stands. Recent completed projects include a set of canoe paddles made completely of marine plywood, and 8 dock cleats, also made entirely from marine plywood. The ply is actually scrap from the kit boat that is available at the website below(where I volunteer one day a week). I am also in the process of refinishing two guitars.

Practical shooting (USPSA/IPSC).
After ten years using a Glock 22 (.40 caliber), now with a Tanfoglio .38 Super Auto.

I like to fly whenever I can. I have a few hundred hours in small fixed wing aircraft mostly sightseeing here in Alaska. I like to flyfish and hunt, which means I have to hike and camp alot. I play a guitar some, although most people pay me to stop playing when I do. Otherwise, the family and grandkids get most of my time.
