Default What are you guy's other hobbies/toys??

What else do you guys do for fun?

I'm into dirtbikes...I currently own a 1999 Honda CR500. And Have a 2004 CR500AF on order!!!! For those that don't know, Honda stopped making the CR500 2 years ago, and now the only way to get it is from Service Honda. They take an aluminum frame CR250 chassis, and modify it to accept the CR500 engine. I'm pretty exited, so I had to tell you guys.

I'm also into Nitro RC on and off. I like the building aspect of it, but I don't get much of a rush from driving them.

What are you guys into?

Mine are Bass fishing. I have a 96 Stratos 18' with a 150 fast strike. I like playing first person shooter games and on line play. My son kicks my but when he's on the other comp. on line but it's fun. Last is watching LS1 site (Trucks) and all the things you guys do to the trucks and all the mods to them.

The truck is to tow my toy. I have a 1970 Pontiac Tempest (like a GTO) It weighs 3000lb with me in it and makes just shy of 600tq at any RPM. We are talking a flat torque curve. Im trying to get it into the 9's but want to do it safely. Lately I have been spending all of my time (money) on the truck. The truck starts every time I turn the key gets better gas mileage and have no fear of any type of explosion driving it hard. I want to get my truck to a 13.5 or better by the end of the summer.

Ill try to get some pics of the car up for you guys.

Ive been into bodybuilding and competitive fighting since I was 12. I had to take a break for a while when I tore my pec last year and had to have the tendon stapled back to the bone, but Im back up to about 235 and very lean so Im hoping I will be in shape to qualify for nationals later this year!! I dont think I'll be fighting again for a while though I was told that the tendon wouldnt be structurally sound for another 10-14 months . If it wasnt for sites like this I wouldve had some serious problems during my recovery. I found you guys a little late though and the other sites were pretty weak. Im glad I did though, Ive had a alot of fun!!
Ive got some pretty cool pics that dont show me in a suit, but....
1. I dont know how to post them
2. That might be kind of gay

Well .. let's see .. I have a 17' Glastrom boat that we used to go out on the lake all the time with. I really enjoy that, but the boat is for sale, I need to pay off some bills.

I also ride 4 wheelers, mostly mud riding. I have a 02 Kodiak 450, and an 03 Grizzly. The Kodiak is a bastardized step child now. I'm trying to convince my gf she needs to ride it so I can play on the big boy harder. We ride in the mountains or trail ride sometimes, but mostly mud.

I also have been into nitro R/C trucks. I haven't been into them much lately. It's gotten expensive and to be a lot of trouble for me. I have a Traxxas Nitro Rustler that has abotu 1500 in it, and a T-Maxx that's almost stock.

Other than that, I have always been a computer nerd, after all, that is my profession, but since I started doing it for a full time job it's not much of a hobby anymore. I'm still unemployed, so I have had plenty of time to mess with them.

I think that sums it up mostly.

Here lately, the truck has been getting all the attention.
