I wish you the best Kaptain_Zero dont ride alone and don't get coffee alone neither
So you have a passion for motorcycles, what else?
- Thread starter lund
- Start date
May you have the fortune to find one that you do love. I was good for 23 of 28.
Once again, not a true passion, but a real strong like. Not anywhere near as flashy/sporty as the Mustangs, but it's what I drive when not on the Tenere. It goes from as pictured, to weather ready in less than five minutes.
Loved my Scalextrix Mini RallycrossMy first memory of racing cars was my dad's business partner bringing his Scalextric set over. It was a figure of 8 with a chicane, finger trigger speed controls and the two cars were a Vanwall and "sharknose" Ferrari.
Great fun was by the lads....He had two daughters.

Like many of us here, I have a lot of interests.
Backpacking is one I haven't done in a while, but I've hiked bits and pieces of the Pacific Crest Trail...probably about 150 miles of it. Done a lot of nights sleeping with just what I carried on my back.
I enjoy running. I have done several half marathons, marathons, 50k, 100k. I haven't finished the 100 mile event yet, but have entered a few.
I like cooking, got into making bread one late night when I couldn't sleep after watching a video on how to do it. I still make a loaf of bread occasionally but my wife doesn't eat it so that means it's all mine.
Most of all I like to just tinker on things. For some reason I am always getting contacted by people to give me projects. Word gets out that I like to do that sort of thing, so I have been given several free cars, pickups, motorcycles, lawnmowers, etc. I have become known in my neighborhood because I fix lawnmowers and give them away. Every once in a while I will sell one in order to buy parts to get other ones going so that I can give them away. It's my little contribution to the karma train or whatever you want to call it.

My favourite back packing country is New Zealand. I’ve been twice and I hope to get another trip in. I go solo as Mrs R won’t fly thAt far. There’s nothing in NZ that can poison you or bite you which is reassuring when your by yourself in the back country.

Reminds me of Bear Tooth Highway. The only place I've ever seen anything close to that.

I enjoy dumping money into this. My other passion is fishing which is one reason for my ST - I intend to use it to access back-country fishing spots after I move out of this crap-hole.
CJ-8s are crazy valuable. There are worth some money. . . . big money. It looks "clean", and probably runs good, so, yeah. . . .

Yep. It runs great. Just had the block re-built and got it all back together. Only a couple of small rust bubbles. I put a Mercedes diesel in it for a while just for giggles but didn't like it. There's always something I can do to it. I've got a long list. It's been a lot of fun.

Motorcycles have always been a consistent in my life but my other real passion is the water...stand up jetski, boating, fishing, fly fishing, anything around or in the water. Also love spending time walking our dogs.

Enjoy a bit of underwater exploration... But only in sunny climes where the waters warm (Bollox to cold water diving!).
I was a diver in the Navy. You're absolutely correct. Most of the time I was in cold water; 3/8" wetsuit, or dry suit. Got lucky to be in St. Croix a couple of time. . . . warm water, and at least 365' visibility; heaven.
I was a commercial diver pulling urchins, did some survey mapping, etc. Got back into it for a while when my son was in Boy Scouts.
I still don't like cold water.

I once wore a mask in a swimming pool.
