Outside of cycling

what other hobbies does everyone enjoy? It's getting that time of year to get fired up Mine prolly goes against the grain of most who cycle. This is not my car but the hours into it would say otherwise.
The car has a new Rocket Chassis for this year

I have a friend that collects vintage Harley Davidson motorcycles, but likes to limit them to a particular year (1947, I think) and either trikes or sidecars. They're housed in a restored vintage gas station, complete with pumps and period correct cars and a tow truck. I hate him.

Just a wrench..I don't have a big enough set to hold 650 HP wide open while sliding sideways! Race, wrench and repeat and on the good weeks just a set of tires and fuel

I hate to admit it but I still get a super rush every time the car fires up and the smell of 115 octane burning tickles my nose.

We'll be back here this year, track champs for 2011

For me if it's not bikes it's usually cars or music related things. I've got quite a few cars and I play multiple instruments. I can go into more detail if anyone really wants to know. I also spend as much time as possible with my dogs and have been very into improving my room lately.

Rola, my friends that helped me build up the FJ60 (I had an FJ40 as well) took me out on some Jeep trails one weekend. I managed to get through everything they did, but lost a mirror, some trim, scratched my paint, and crushed my exhaust. In other words, it was a great time. Gotta go find the photos...

I play a lot of different kinds of music. Mostly rock based with some different flavors thrown in to keep it fun. Instrument wise, I play guitar, bass, drums, bagpipes and some keys. Also my first "car" was a FJ40, miss that thing. :-)
