I tried to check ATV also, but only lets me pick one which is guns.  Hunting, fishing, drinking beer, watching football, etc.

I'm with Chryco, I really dont do anything else, even go out.  I'm pretty content.   :dunno:

We do have 2 ATV's, but living on the farm they are for work.  When people say that they are going four-wheeling for the weekend, I'm like, "mmmmmmmmmmkay, have fun with that"   :lol:  I guess when you ride them every day three seasons out of the year for work, its not really pleasure.

I have rode Harley's for years and with my Cuda and Challenger there is not much money for anything else. I'm a big fan of Sammy Hagar and have a signed guitar I won as a promotion several years ago and lots of items I have collected from over the years hanging on a wall.

Jeeps are an on/off hobby for me, but I didn't choose them because I don't really do much with them other than drive with the top off  :bigsmile:

Photography is a hobby that is very slowly morphing into a business.

Strategy / simulation wargaming is the last, but lately I don't find a lot of time for it.

I chose motorcycles, though I used to be pretty big into atv-ing but have since then sold my Honda atv (was a fun rebuild and was pretty quick for what it was).  I still get out a couple times during the summer, but it's on my brother-in-law's 400EX.

Family seems to eat up whatever spare time/money I seem to have.  Working on my car and Hockey are about it.

I draged raced in the 70's---I races motocross in the 80's--I owned a photography bussiness in the 90's-I trained and taught Martial arts from 1979 till 1999-I hunted and fished from the 70's to the 90's, I still have all my guns though and will always have them. This year I got into fossil hunting. I always had an interest but never pursued it. I met a fellow mopar guy who has a drainage ditch in his back yard and was finding lots of fossils. So one day I went over and now I am hooked. South Carolina was submerged under the ancient oceans so we find alot of marine life. Most of all I have found Megladon teeth. These are about 1 to 28 million years old. These were the largest sharks ever to roam the oceans over 50 feet long. The biggest tooth I have found so far is about 3 inches but they have been found as large as 7 inches. We found lots of little teeth also and whale bone and stingray teeth and of course shells.
It is just neat to hold something in your hand that was alive  millions of years ago.

Too far for me.

I ride in Lynn, sin city 2000Acres of woods.  In the middle of a city 100K strong.

I think the farthest I have ridden is 35+- miles in a shot. From Salem MA to Gloucester and then nother time from Reading to Salem NH Not so much for regulars but saddle sore is tough.

I got a S-Works Enduro and a Specialized Allez Elite both woth flat tires now.   :stomp:

I spend most of my spare time painting my house and barn. If you own an old Victorian house, you'll know where I'm coming from. I paint one side a year, and by the time I get around the house, it's time to touch up the side i painted 4 years ago. Here is a pic of the porch I painted this year...152 hours of labor and I'm not quite finished with the shutters yet. The details take a LONG time.
