I have had a large number of interests besides motorcycles. Too many interests in fact, and I bore easily.....
So...... my woodworking hobby came to sudden halt when I developed sensitivities to wood and wood dust.
Electronic interests come and go...... I am Amateur Radio operator with all privileges and back in the day before the internet, I built and operated a fully automated digital satellite communications system, but of course the internet came along and I promptly sold all my equipment before it became worthless. As of today, I am not active.... unless called out for an emergency when all the usual lines of communications fail.
I'll skip the photography era...... I had 35mm to 5" x 7" sheet film capability, a color dark room capable to 4" x 5" sheet film. Again, a fun hobby, but the digital camera, just like the internet, swooped in and took all the fun, never mind the thousands of dollars invested in gear, out of it.
Today, espresso is something I enjoy.... as well as having returned to motorcycles after 20+ years. My wife passed away last fall and as I have no children or relatives in North America, I figured I'd go back to riding a bike and drinking decent coffee! Besides, I've only got 220 km on my new Super Tenere and I've already dropped it..... so I'm drowning my sorrows in espresso!
