View Full Version : What are your other interests.
From reading various posts on here some people have some fairly interesting other persuits like flying etc.
So whats your other main interests other than motorbikes.
Illustrating what you do in pictures would make it more interesting so i will start.
Mine mostly at the moment:-
Xbox, i have been playing alot of this at the moment, been addicted since getting it at xmas -

Finally, Kayaking or any other kind of watersports (canyoning,swimming,surfing) you can think of is my biggest love/pastime, I have an unatural love for anything involving water, below is a picture of a weir on the trent in spate which creates a big wave/hole:-

Martial arts,spent a good few years proggressing through the belt rankings,but now concentrate on helping train my eldest son who's 7 and has just passed his 10th belt which is brown with black stripe(he,s quite small for his age but is a little pocket rocket, lol)
Also just spending time with my younger son 4yrs,basically my other interests are my kids...without them i would be nothing.
Running and swimming. Fortunately no pictures of me doing those activities though :-)
I also like gardening and knitting.

Me to but no camera
True, but a bit of scudding is a laugh.
I like doing stupid adrenaline things like jumping off cranes with knicker elastic to save me and have done one skydive so far. (Funny thing is I'm scared of heights-I HATE going up but get a mental buzz coming down) Used to do a bit of climbing too (Didn't mind the going up bit there). Haven't done anything for a while now cos I've got the bikes. Wanna do a helicopter bungee jump and a base jump too.
:)
And I like checking my pornband is still working.

Sadly I can no longer pursue my 'other interests' because of a restraining order! 8-[
http://www.zillowblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/beer.jpg
horse riding, music (metal/rock festivals)
i have no life.
I pretend to do really cool and interesting things to make me sound less boring and maybe, just maybe, a little bit interesting.
I actually live in a small bungalow in Swindon with my disabled grandmother. My only friends are the TV (my surrogate sister/mother/secret lover) and the internet where I go onto forums to impress people I've never met with tall tales of derring-do.
This summer I will be hiding in the shed at the end of the garden (within wifi connection to my router) where I will be updating a blog of fictitious stories of escapades in a variety of countries around the world.
I am actually 15 years old and have only ever ridden a push-bike and that had stabilizers.
My dream is to one day move to Swansea with the girl that works at Greggs the baker. She is really nice and say's hello to me when I buy my meat & potato pie for lunch (and fish cake for my gran). I often have fantasies where I rescue her from the Chris the smelly tramp that leers at her and say's rude things about her ample backside.
One day I would like to be an assistant manager at Burger King. I think it would be nice people doing what I tell them.
I quite fancy writing a novel. Started a few but got a bit side tracked.......Maybe I'll take a pen & paper to the spider shed this summer ;o)

I used to collect pinball machines. They were in every room, the garage, wherever. They have been used on Ch4 and Sky. Then I sold them and I don't miss them one bit.
Diving is now just a hobby ( was my job for toooooooo many years ) and then there is Harvey my snake and he takes up the rest of my time. Ten pin bowling as well but I have given the league a miss this year as I canīt find the time at the moment.

Holidays, again, when I can afford.
Motorsport, HUGE fan, although prefer the TV these days as you can see the whole damn thing :lol: Been to enough events in my time though. Still got a few left to do ;)
Model Railway. Total geek thing, always wanted one since i was small, now I have a house im starting to do the loft up. Madness maybe, but meh, my life, my money......
This isn't mine, and is by far the best one about, but just an example of how mad people go with them. Mine is simply half the loft of baseboards atm :lol:

OK, you're all going to hate me now. :oops:
http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e174/gemma1675/Caravan%20Photos/Adventurer.jpg
My only defence is at least I don't get a queue of bikes behind me when towing, as they can get past easier. ;)
I also make handbags, but have no photos of them here.

Look. Just admit it.
OK - so some of the more narrow minded members will perhaps never wish to look at one of your posts without prejudice again...
... others will simply start to talk about you behind your back...
... a few may even post up hatefilled replies that will have to be modded and cause everyone grief...
... the odd one or two (and I do mean 'odd') may even join you and declare thier passion for this pastime.
Live and let live I say - even if you do customise and modify top boxes in your spare time. :rolleyes:

And mostly this:

I rescue and rehome Staffordshire Bull Terriers who are homeless or given up by their owners.
In my spare time I try to find them new homes and raise money to stop them being put to sleep for no good reason.
Heres one I did earlier...this year. His name is Ronnie.

Music, mainly DJing and producing, I do most sorts of electronic music, but I like Dubstep and Dub Techno the most. I'm also into videogames, mostly old or retro-styled ones. Hoping to commence work on a DIY arcade machine cabinet for the garage once my garage floor is done. I'm reasonably into books too: Nabokov, Palahnuick, Irvine Welsh and comics (although I'm not in the least bit anal about having rare/mint copies and don't 'collect', I just like reading them), Viz, Frank Miller, Alan Moore, Green Arrow any of the grown up stuff that makes you think rather than two dimensional nonsense like superman. Fairly into swimming (mainly in the sea) and reasonably keen about cooking too.
