Besides cruising on your Triumphs, what else does everyone do in there free time? I have only had my '05 America (the green one) for about 6 weeks, and love it. I also fly RC Aircraft, I'm the guy that brings all the "frankenstein" planes to the field and get told "that thing will never fly". I had a 1/4 scale 17 pound high wing "taildragger" that had a 32 cc Stihl chainsaw engine on it, complete with the detachable pull cord to crank it. Everyone laughed, but stood in awe as it flew by at 60+ mph inverted 2 feet off the ground...it was indeed a hoot, until the on-board battery disconnected in flight at full throttle and it flew for 40 yards or so inverted on it's own, then crashed in a spectacular ball of smoke.. that rocked!!!!
I also try to imitate Tom Scholz, the guitar mastermind with the band "Boston", with my Ibanez RG running through a Rockman sustainer, and Rockman chorus, then finally into my Peavy / Celestion 100 watt amp, blended with my CD player at full volume belting out Boston tunes. The wife and kids actually evacuate the property when this occurs....then I have to get my own beers from the fridge upstairs!!! The more beers I drink, the better I get (hmmm, how could that be?!?!?). I am also a "springtime only" fisherman with my 1958 Johnson outboard and my 13 foot "Sea King" runabout I paid $500 for....talk about a nightmare....bring lots of tools!!! We mostly fish for crappie on the local reservoirs here in Atlanta in April and May, then we are done, as the heat ends the season for us....
More of a bike (Triumph) enthusiast since last spring when I bought a 1981 Honda CB 650 from my neighbor for $400. I put 11,000 miles on that bike from April through October of last year, and suspect to put as much or more on my America this summer (already at 1700 miles since Feb).
