What other hobbies do you have besides riding?
I do quite bit of shooting, mostly pistols/revolvers. I have a range set up right
on my property, one of the benefits of rural livin.
I fly drones for fun, I have a quad copter and a fixed wing, both electric.
Might start doing some part time drone work soon, crop scanning and industrial inspections,
Wind mills, big power line supports, buildings, bridges..etc. A buddy of mine
has a part-time business going and has me if I want to give it a try. He does quite well for only doing part-time.
Do a little antique collecting, that is me helping my wife mostly:icon_wink:

Having had three knee replacements and having turned 70 a short bit ago, I finally quit skydiving. Decided that it was the prudent thing to do. Now I enjoy shooting (mainly pistols), not competitively, but to maintain proficiency and just for fun. Not jumping gives me more time to ride my F6B, the greatest bike I've ever owned.

RVing and golfing along with tinkering. Snow-birding to Florida for the winter has given me a 12 month riding season, as my F6B is my only transportation while in the Sun Shine State:icon_biggrin:

I have had MANY hobbies. Here's the way most of them got started...my two grown sons get into a sport or hobby and I jump in just to keep doing something with them. By the time I join in, they move on to something else :banghead: A couple of these hobbies were roller blading and mountain biking, which I still occasionally do.

Of course, a few hobbies I started on my own including ham radio, RC planes, golf, tennis, running, sailing, target shooting, and lately, electronic projects (currently Arduino).

My trumpet playing is much more than a hobby since I retired from being a professional engineer specializing in robotics and industrial automation to be a pro musician. I'm now officially a staving musician :icon_wink: It's a good thing I don't have to make much money doing this. Still, music is a passion and I'm blessed to be able to do it :icon_biggrin:

It used to be "when I'm not riding". Now that I have the F6B it's "if I'm not riding". Not much time for anything else these days besides work. (Need funds to buy gas)

I like to do a little hunting, so I do some shooting to keep accurate. My wife and I also enjoy going camping.

Now that I live somewhere without a year round riding season, I guess I'll get more skiing in!
