Frosty Posted August 15, 2007 Share Dancing... The wife said I can do the cycling thing as long as we did something together - so I asked her if she wanted to take up dancing lessons hoping that she would say "no", knowing that I hated it with a passion. Almost six months later, and I'm king of the dance floor, and having the time of my life - excuse the pun.

Hendrik Petoors Posted August 15, 2007 Share Mountaineering' date=' maps (electronic & paper), GPS, DIY (bought a house last year; agent said it needed a little bit of work...) & computers.[/quote'] As long as you do all the work that "the agent" talked about. Twenty five years ago the agent said the same to us and with two kids at school and their study fees we never got to it. Since we moved to Moxzambique and now Nigeria two and a half years ago, we have been using the rent for repairs. The chances that I will ever move back into that house is remote, but the value is increasing all the time. Stick to your "newfound" hobby!!!!!!

Sammajoor Posted August 15, 2007 Share And of COURSE playing with TWEETY, that should definitely be classified as a hobby, because it also costs you money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerSimpson Posted August 15, 2007 Share To me cycling is a hobby...hobbies are things you do because you enjoy them without needing to be particularly good at it...so that makes:Road cyclingMTBTrack cyclingFalling off bicycles (I'm quite good at that)TennisPlaying the guitar (I'm exceptionally bad a that)Drinking red wine (beer is way past being a hobby)Occasionally golfFlyfishing (used to be a passion, can't seem to find time these days) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_BBi Posted August 15, 2007 Share BBi' date=' when you say restoring old motorcycles what exactly do you mean?

Love old pedal / motor bikes - just cannot get rid of them. And you? What do you ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowpoke Posted August 15, 2007 Share BBi, i've got myself a CBR400 to learn on, but with the way i feel about speed and with how "everywhere" teh spietkops are i was thinking that maybe when i'm done learning and trust myself to not drop it much then i might rather just fix it up and keep it permanently... so by then it might need attention (i've already had to do the touch-up-paint thing ) also useful to know who to aks if any of my TB buddies needs help as to your study - a buddy of mine has an entire workshop in his garage - why he needs about 10 sets of wheels for his lightspeed is beyond me, let alone all the other stuff - spare frames, saddles, seat posts, you name it! but he only rides his litespeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent did not talk about anything specific, they never do!But it was not difficult to draw up my own list...Progressing well and most of the critical work was done before winter.Slowed down a bit with it being winter and MTB season...

Well I guess I should have left computers of my list then...Although a computer is just a tool and what I do at home is very different from what I do at work.
