Obviously all of us are into motorcycling. But, what other hobbies do you all have? I am into motorcycling first, then I also own 3 Jeep Cherokees, which I occasionally trail ride with and I play drums. I have to have at least one indoor, winter hobby.

My wife and I belong to a local West Coast Swing dance club. We typically work on this every Thursday evening and once again on Saturday night.
We aint that good but if you stack us up against your average john doe dancers who dont have any training at all we dont look half bad.
On the other hand if we get stacked up side by side with people with a little talent and some training we look pretty bad.
We just try to have fun with it.

Electric blues guitar with what seems a lifetime figuring out Robin Trower songs. Perfecting a Guinness clone (home brewing). Can't call computers a hobby anymore, they're a necessity.

Playing music (been obsessed with learning slide guitar lately), getting inked (working on my second sleeve currently), DJ'ing techno music, riding in my old Chevelle, tinkering with my T-120, plus I'm obsessed with my Ipod and mountain bike....there's never enough time in the day...

Antique vehicles and machinery, electric bass guitar, photography, (after many years working with film, I bought a used Oly off ebay a few years ago -- a few years later I'm still blown away by the conveniences of the digital format) perusing tomes of history, and one odd one - studying the sciences of management.

This one might be a little hard for me. Let me see, oh, I like hiking. Ah man, that is work related only anymore. Um, let me see .... I like the aspects of gold mining, oh yeah thats work related also. I like doing income taxes, well yeah that is work related. I guess with all my spare time it is just the ol motorcycle. I don't get much of a chance to fish anymore. All the good days for fishing I am working and weekends around here the last 10 years or so there are just TOO MANY PEOPLE.
OK, I guess it is just riding. I can find lonesome roads that are not traveled that much.

I'm married and still work for a living. What's a hobby?
No actually, my 2 therapies are riding the bike and working in the yard. Not proficient at either, but as long as I'm having fun...

Heart surgery, rocket science, martini making, advanced tiddly-winks, bowling for doughnuts, bowling WITH doughnuts, shadow puppetry, guessing the 'Deal or No Deal' briefcase based entirely on the 'cleavage' factor of the model holding it, tickling my fancy, casting aspersions, doubting Mr. Thomas, and having a go.  Actually, I collect miniature airplane pedal cars, rubber duckies, and small English Springer Spaniel statues.

2. Going to Jazz clubs or the Opera.
3. Putting jig saw puzzles together and making pitures out of them(have a few hanging at my place)
4. Started on model air planes(WWI)
5. I am a Lord of The Rings nerd and read the Similarian, the Hobbit, and the Lord of The Rings trilogy anually.

Consuming cold quantities of what Pat makes!
I used to fish a lot, but motorcycling has taken over most of my free time. Mentioned this to a friend who rides. He told me: "hey, you can fish when you get old".
I enjoy working in the yard on landscaping, that also consumes a good bit of free time once April rolls around.

Re-building 70's vintage ten-speed bicycles, collecting antique cast iron (treadle sewing machine bases to make granite topped tables and about 200 cast iron trivets mostly), wrenching on my own cars, trucks, bikes, remodeling my house. All my hobbies have slowed down since I got my America.

Boating was my number 1 hobby, but ever since I've had the bike most of the pretty days are spent riding. My wife likes bike riding more than the boat, but my dog is real pissed!

I wish I had time for hobbies. I have a web design business (which I started for 'fun') in addition to my day job. I have a '65 Mustang, a week-old '75 Jeep J-10 and a couple 914 Porsches I'd really like to work on. I have a house that needs interior remodeling finished. I might get the Mustang running in a year or three. The Jeep might get restored in about 10 years. I've given up on the Porsches which is fine with me because I'm 99% sure I won't fit in them anymore. I'm probably going to get (another) loan to have someone finish the house. In the nooks and crannies I occasionally find time to see a movie, play a video or PC game and rarely, oh so rarely, go on a date. Somebody shoot me, or at the very least, burn my house down.
