Other hobbies?

[Fishwishin]

So the common chord we have with each other are the CT bikes that we all love so much. What are the other hobbies our members enjoy though? For me it is bass fishing, reloading ammunition (and shooting) and Australian Shepherd dogs.

Let's see what else you guys do!

 

[BaldRider]

Other motorcycles, creating mediocre YouTube videos (I like them and that’s all that matters), not maintaining my website, whatever my wife tells me to do.

I’ve recently gotten back into watches and have ordered 5 of them since Christmas. Probably time I get back out of watches.

Does work count? Can't say I enjoy that hobby.
Even my interests have ADHD, I dabble in electronic music, leather craft, figure painting, pretending I can teach myself instruments and failing, etc...
I really enjoy hiking, camping and kayaking, but I rarely have the time to anymore. It's one of the reasons I bought the trail was to moto-camp. (Pic from the one and only trip I've taken so far. Local campsite to test out the loadout. I forgot to take a pic of the bike loaded, but it didn't look much different. I was able to pack 95% of it into the cargo box.)

3D printing, camping, riding (anything - bicycles, unicycle, etc.), and my Norwich Terrier. More recently also going to the gym and cooking, with a specific interest in home meal prep with faster "time to table" than unhealthier options.

 

[Salty Sway]

Spending time with my wife, playing ice hockey, riding a bicycle, time at the gym, guns, home renovations, landscaping, other motorcycles, going to motorcycle & auto racing, working on motorcycles & cars, visiting family, and traveling.

Travel, impossible or improbable goals, hand crafted leather, good knives and flashlights

 

[Kev250R]

Collecting, driving and working-on classic cars. Working in my garage. Giving the neighbors new things to talk about. Home improvements (which I never seem to get around to). Road Tripping (planning a pretty cool loop around the Southwest for a few months from now). Camping, off-roading. Making my GF regret ever 'swiping right' LOL!

I was doing the YouTube thing for a while too but never progressed past the point of making long rambling videos about whatever project I was working-on at the time. I had goals of making videos ala Matt's Off-Road style revolving around what I do for a living, but my bosses put a stop to that (too much liability).

I can see that being a problem. My boss knows I have a channel but I made it clear it has nothing to do with work and wouldn't have any content that ran afoul of the Ethics and Compliance department. Of course, I haven't uploaded a video since September so...

For me it's a big mix of skiing, sports, traveling, video games, bass fishing, hiking, backpacking, eventually motocamping and, like all of us, banging out the never ending onslaught of home repairs/improvements/upgrades/renovations. Soon I'll be knocking my old dilapidated chimney down below my roof and patching over it to stop water from leaking in. This will definitely totally 100% be the last home project I do until Spring I swear.

This is the deck I started working on last Summer....





Too many things got in the way to finish.

Just curious what knives you tend to chase after? Benchmade is my go-to, but I know I am missing out on some other great knives that are out there.

 

[bryanchurch06]

Fallkniven, lionsteel, mkm, Zero Tolerance, TRC, Protech, microtech, is a good start for non custom. Way to many great custom knife makers to list.
www.lamnia.com is a great site for European knives at great prices.

 

[BaldRider]

I mostly have Benchmade, as well.

Santa was supposed to get me a Chris Reeve Sebenza for Christmas but he must have forgotten. I did get a Case toothpick knife, though, which I quite like for what it is.

My stepdaughter had some Ken Onion stuff.

 

[bryanchurch06]

Benchmade makes fine knives I just got a little sideways with their politics several yrs ago when they seemed to come out anti 2A, haven't had much use for them since.

 

[BaldRider]

I think I remember something about that but quickly forgot as that is typical culture where I live.

When I am waiting an hour at the sporting goods store for my turn to buy another pew-pew, all there is to kill time is browsing their knife selection which is mostly made up of Benchmade, Spyderco and ZT. I usually end up buying one.

Yeah, I struggled with it too, but at the time I was not all that versed in anything other than Benchmades and Randall and only one of those is really considered a carry knife. My local 2A/freedom seed store was a Benchmade dealer so I just kinda stuck with them.

Sounds like we have a few pew-pew guys on this thread

I carry a blue bug-out - had I known they were the tiniest bit anti-2nd A I wouldn't have bought it.

Yep we just keep it quiet so we don't offend anyone here, it's a good community here.

RV'ing, Backpacking and Aussies too! We have e-bikes but looking forward to getting into more Trail125 moto-camping with our dog, Sky. She loves to ride the bicycles, hope its an easy transition to the trail125. Cheers!

The biggest thing I found was the vibrations and the noise can bother the dog. E-Bikes have a much smoother motor power delivery with fewer vibrations, so my little dog kinda hates the motorcycle and kinda loves the eBike. Adding some padding underpaw will help a lot.
