Other hobbies?

[MonotoneCulprit]

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.

One day I'll convince myself to pull the trigger on a Sebenza. Classy knife that one.

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.

I figured that the vibration may be an issue, we got her a 'knee pad' foam thingny that goes right in the crate for comfort (on the bicycles) so I think it will work great for the Trail125 too. We are set to get it all ready to go by May (as we're still snowbirding away from the cold Midwest right now haha)

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!

if not for work obligations and the paucity of time left after that my hobbies would be infinite ! However, what I do make time for is all things two wheeled and fossil fuel burning, wood lathe, music, bush crafting knives, sport shooting and being outside with my unwieldy saber tooth mutt! And of course planning next BDR adventure!

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.

Thought I would revive this thread just a bit.. Love the Aussie dogs as well! Mine is getting quite elderly and since most of his life has been running full bore he is really feeling it in his joints.
I Like boats, and boat building although it has been 17 years since I built my last one, a 20' Bartender which I still use.
From 2 days ago, 4.5 minutes of a 2 hour run in Wren, my 20 foot double ender Bartender.

Other stuff, Fat tire biking on the snowmachine trails, Since we get a LOT of snow here, I suppose my Honda snow blowers are my hobby as I use them quite a bit. I used to reload for my big bore lever guns and revolvers which are mostly for bear protection, plus are a gas to shoot, but haven't done that for a few years now. A lot of my time the past 15 years has been building the timber frame house from trees I milled with a chainsaw mill off the property. And a big one for me has been rebuilding my stereo which include new drivers in my JBL L200's which I bought when I was 19 and are now 50 years old! They sound the best they ever have!

Well I know I said earlier I was gonna get another bike and I spent a bit of time looking, after all the comments about the one I had chosen, and some more research it turned out most of you were correct, isn’t well built, probably doesn’t have a very strong frame… but as I was looking carefully at that I realized I probably would enjoy a different bike even more… although I suspect many of this same naysayers will complain its frame suffers from the same problem… maybe so, but I will make my first ride hopefully next week… depending on weather.

It really helped that I did an early retirement at 50. Amazing how much life force gets expended working..

 

[HodagMule]

1. Historical reenacting
2. Fishing/Hunting
3. Restoring/modding vintage bikes
4. collecting vinyl records

 

[TrailScoot]

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.)

Greetings from the thriving metropolis that is Raceland Louisiana! I'm new to the forum, just put a deposit at Cycle World of Houma on the new grey model. Can't wait!
