I too play guitar and drums and a few other instruments, i also raced bikes at Bathurst mine was a Bultaco Metrella that spat me off on Conrod after it seized. Raced a Husky 250 in the dirt and rode a Suzuki 250 MotoX for Hazel and Moore in Newcastle. Last bike i owned was a Moto Guzzi Mille GT 1000 that i sold in the late 90's after i broke my neck in 6 places, not from coming off the bike. Doing up Subarus for touring and offroad was my passion for a long time but these days its restoring the old camper in my driveway.

Some other things i fit into my life

Metal Detecting, going to get more serious when the campers up and running.
making guitar pickups, need to buy a new coil winder.
Writing and recording my own tunes, i have a small studio here at home.

Same here, raced Flexicars and Int 15 wing cars for a long time. Not done it for a while now but it is lots of fun bringing out a wing car in the midst of a saturday afternoon hire car fleet.
Bring it out, whip of 2 or 3 laps before some one t-bone's it with a hire brick.
"Ooooh what is that? How much is it?"

Ahh yes where you spend mucho $$ on gear and accommodation only to spend heaps more on lift tickets that take you to the top of the hill only to ski down to the bottom again and catch the lift up only to ski to the bottom again etc etc. Beautiful scenery in the high country.

Mountain biking while at home and whittling while camping. Here are a few photos of some of my whittlings.

Those are some really nice pieces... I am very impressed....

Yes mate still got it and it keeps up with my mates on newer bike no worries ;D it's an 02 mdl.

Yep your right about the grin they have such usable power.
In the new edition of Trailrider Magazine there is a bit of a write up about XR400's and there is a quote ''The rider usually gives up before the XR does'' ;D

Post by: dobbo on May 19, 2014, 09:18:24 PM: Motorcycles have been a passion of mine ever since I was a young fella on the farm. After a chance to buy my dream bike (A 1983 Honda cb1100F) 27 years after they were last available in Australia, I got an idea in my head after reading about other guys restorations on another forum, to have crack at restoring one myself. A winning $510.00 bid on Ebay for a couple of basket case 1981 CB750F's just over two years ago has turned into a very satisfying (and expensive) hobby.

Before.

Post by: McTavish on May 19, 2014, 09:38:26 PM: Dazzler - speaking about woodworking - here is a link to my mate Nick's website. When we first met he told me he made wooden furniture and I tried to compare the candlesticks I made in grade 10 woodwork and some bowls on the lathe. He just smiled and agreed it was pretty similar.... Till you see what he does!!

In keeping with the thread - surfing and playing guitar/drums (I'd love to be a Jack Johnson but that ain't gunna happen anytime soon) and golf when time permits (ha ha)... Supporting my kids soccer keeps that in check...

Post by: Pog on May 20, 2014, 09:12:23 PM: Where do i start!

I am heavily involved in our local Apex Club. We do a lot of catering and fundraising for the local community. We meet every 2nd Wednesday night, and I haven't missed a meeting in nearly 5 years.

I also like to go fishing in the Murray, although there is not a great deal to catch here. I have a Stacer 395 Proline with a 40hp 2T Yamaha outboard.

I also enjoy riding my Trail / Enduro bike - A Yamaha WR450f. There is a lot of good riding on roadsides, and in the Murray Sunset National Park and Lindsay Point nearby.

I also play Golf, although I haven't played a lot this year due to injury. I play off a handicap of 13 at the moment.

In my spare time, I help out at the kids school in the grounds & buildings committee.
