Spray-Bomb 03-23-2007, 08:50 AM Can you hook up little bottles of Nitrous for the long :gi: straights?

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

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 :lol:

bagged91 03-23-2007, 09:19 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, 09:22 AM I absoulety hate winter, but Im really into snowmobiling, and im a pretty big video game guy.
SacramentoJoe 03-23-2007, 09:35 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, 09:37 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!

Jonce 03-23-2007, 10:13 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
http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l13/adamwjohnson/JonceM109Rbackside.jpg
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.
cabinetguy 03-23-2007, 10:36 AM By looking at the body on my sled is decieving, Its what is under the hood that counts:metal:
Piece of Work 03-23-2007, 10:49 AM * Building and networking computers
* Fishing, fresh and salt water
* Baseball
* Photography
Sonny 03-23-2007, 10:55 AM Raning karts (dirt oval), and gaming (World of Warcraft). For you pistol guys, I had the chance to shoot a S&W 460. OMG, what a cannon!
Jonce 03-23-2007, 01:11 PM By looking at the body on my sled is decieving, Its what is under the hood that counts:metal:
I had that same engine in my last sled. It started out as a '04 RMK 600 and I swapped out the engine for a brand new 800cc VES engine with SLP single/can. That 800cc engine gets almost twice the gas mileage as my new 660HO engine - it sucks fuel like no other (5-6 mpg).

Me too man. Dirt racing and long distance street riding!
edmonton72 03-23-2007, 01:30 PM Other then the truck I'm into dirt biking, camping, boating and skiing. We used to have a sled but my dad sold it a couple years ago. It would have been nice to have this winter since we got over two feet of snow. Last year my parents bought a brand new trailer and a boat. We got a wakeboard tower over the winter(the boat's still at the dealer ship) so I'm going to try to wakeboard this summer. I'll try to post some pictures of the toys later when I get home.

Yea, just ribbing... I can do that because I don't have that short pants problem on my bike, because my legs are about half as long as his! :hm:
Already Gone 03-23-2007, 04:28 PM I spend time with the love of my life, my wife , we ride locally and have taken 2 week holidays on the GoldWing. This shot is from August 2003 on the Oregon Coast on our way to San Francisco. We also stopped in Spokane on the way and took in the Goodguys show.
I also have this disease of collecting Danbury and Franklin Mint diecast models. This is only a few as I have over 50 of them.
