In adition to the SH I have a '96 Suzuki DR dual sport and am restoring a 1966 Chevy C10 Stepside pickup. Also have the daily driver Chevy Avalanche 1500 Z71. I belong to a classic car club and help run some car shows with them. All this sure keeps me busy...

Your toys look like fun!

I love the G35's, that is a very sexy car to look at, its porportions are just right .

Whats this spare time you guys speak of ? haha

 

Restoring a 1969 Mercury Cougar and hope to have a track only bike soon, I'm thinking about getting into racing.

 

I Have a 99 gmc sonoma slamed, wheels and soon bags. got my 02 Hawk and a 97 SeaDoo xp 800 with tons of mods 72mph on the water is INSANE!! but on the Hawk it get a little boring unless your in the twistys I also have a 97 Hawk that is just for track someday after I rebuild the motor needs pistons and valves due to a faulty cct motor made kind of a intresting sound before it quit running

 

Toys ----Paintball guns, I have 5 different guns, my oldest son has 2, and my youngest has 2...and a ton of gear to go with them....I even bought a scuba tank so we could refill our own individual tanks...Yes I have way too much time on my hands.....

 

When I'm not working on the VTR, I'm working on the F4 of the girlfriend, she's got some mods too! ( only esthetical, don't worries!! ) and when I'm not working on the bike, well I'm... doing bike!! And winter is a long anguish!!

 

Somehow I can easily see this....Cliffhanger playing war with the boys.

 

It's the only way now a days I can shoot and kill people and not go to jail....it tides me over....

 

Yeah, video games are good for that too....spent...sorry...wasted hours with Battelfield and Battelfield Vietnam.

 

Other hobs include activities with the kids, '74 Honda z50 (planning stages of restoring), restoration of a 1950'sish gas pump, and yardwork.

 

'05 GTO with some suspension mods and dyno tuned to 352hp/360ft-lb to the rear wheels. It's also my daily driver. I just bought a Husquvarna garden tractor. Does that count? hehehe That's a toy of necessity, I think, with almost an acre of lawn to mow.

I also have a CBR1000RR and the wife's 600RR. Here's a pic of the family all together.

 

That's not right the Hawk's still in the garage! I've got a 21hp Craftsman, what's the husky got under the hood. Acre and almost 3/4 for me hours of fun!

 

(not necessarily in order of importance)
I have:
Of course my baby, the 2003 superhawk
1984 Yamaha IT 490
2003 KTM 400
76ish sand rail (in need of a new vw engine)
2003 lawn mower (takes up as much time as riding Dammit!)

Non motoring:
Air Hockey table
Foosball table
Electronic dart board
standard dart board (mounted in the garage for those late night working on the bikes and drinking beer times)
Xbox
Wife And 2 little boys to share it all with!

 

Yeah, I know. Sorry 'bout that, but the Hawk's not ready for showing yet. She's naked and shy anyway. hahaha

The Husky has the 24hp B&S. Had to get the biggest tractor they had so it would push some snow off the 100' long driveway. I'll be damned if I'm shoveling the bitch by hand this winter.

Sold the Givi rack after I got the CBR in '04, so that's gone. Never used it anyway.
