W-O-T

All my life I CANNOT leave anything stock... yeah... the VTR has mods.. and needs MORE for my satisfaction... SURPRIZED?.. I think not... lol

Anyway I have two expensive interests.... the VTR is my newest one...

My Jeep is my first love... 8 years in the build and still going...

1 ton drivetrain and 500 caddy under the hood....

Yeah.. I like yellow... lol



What other interests you got?

Snowmobiles, the only other thing as much fun (or more) than motorcycling Living up here in Canada, four seasons are a fact of life so might as well learn to enjoy them all. It is pretty hard to beat slamming through some bumps on a snocross-type sled on a nice clear -15 C day Catch me if you can!!!

I hear ya.... I grew up in PA where all we had were snowmobiles.... now I have 4x4's and just sold my quads... too many toys... lol

WOMEN,

All things aside from the VTR or CBF, my real love is Dirt Bikes. I ride woods or MX.

Street riding or occasional track days will never reach the satisfaction of a big bore dirt bike rippin throught TN woods or playing on a MX track and clearing atable top or set of double jumps.

Like Golf too, but not a great player, bought a bogie player, used to be double bogie, but i changed my swing and got the game going in the right direct. YOu think bikes are expensive, heck golf is outragous.

And Women, we know how expensive thay can be.

Maybe i need to drop the golf, because the other three interest involve riding something....well i guess a golf cart counts as riding something.

Nice Jeep. My dad had a nice scrambler for year. Completly re-done her from ground up and drove her for years, then sold her for big bucks. Kind of a rare jeep.

LOL!!!

I tried golf once... ONCE... ok twice.... not a bad game but I dont have the patience or the money with all else going on in my life....

15 years of marriage that has yielded 4 boys takes most of my time and money, but I get by... lol.

I rode dirt bikes as a kid... then got hurt... never got back on them... almost killed me... but the quads were something I could relate to and my boys and I were able to do alot together with common interests and hobbies.

Our 14 year old twins have been helping me build up the Jeep since they were 11 and took interest in my garage activities and hang out with me when Im wrenchin or fabricating stuff.... its a great feeling to have your kids WANT to hang out with the ol man...

thanks for the complement on the Jeep... its a 78 Wagoneer with a 4.5" streched wheelbase with full steel flares ( NEVER came that way). Im the 2nd owner with only 96K on the odo and been in the family since late 1978....

I coach baseball. I love working with the kids and being the only form of discipline that some of them have in their life. It is such a thrill to work with a kid that everyone else thinks has no talent and to be there when they get their first hit.

I get some much from teaching them teamwork, respect, and discipline. The secret is that I think I enjoy myself more than them.

I'm into "reef" aquariums (corals)... it's a nice complement to the motorcycle in that I can get really into in the winter/cold months... although I've noticed my interest lags on my tank maitenence in the summer months!!!!

I have done the baseball coach thing as well in the past, for sure can be alot of fun.

I enjoy watching and teaching my 12 year old how to turn wrenches on his CR80. He is on his fourth ride (XR50, XR70, XR80, &CR80) and has been riding since he was 5.5 years old.

Kids are amazing and it is great to share a garage and knowledge with a kid.

I do have a TRX250EX as well and have discovered the four wheel off road world in the last year. It is a blast, but doesn't even compare to two wheels off rode.

I would love to find the money to convert my CRF450R to the street in the summer months as a motard and back to the dirt n the winter minths.

Also into digital photos....my Nikon D70's been getting a work out lately!! My '87 OLDS 442 eats up my time and money also.

My wife of 3 weeks is very undersanding on my "garage time" and uses the Nikon more than I do!! LOL

Cooking...movies.....ice cream.....hockey.... I'll stop now......
