Yea- hobbies. I have had several: model planes, aquarium fish, photography, working on vehicles, but the longest running was audiophelia (sp). I go full bore on them until I have learned as much as I want and then either drop them entirely, as I did with aquarium fish and model planes, or they go into "idle" mode. I have  $20000 stereo that I built up over 27 years, and haven't listened to in a couple of years. (since I bought the bike, actually). I just take pics of the grandkids with my seven cameras and 15 or so lenses.
I have never been able to devote myself to multiple hobbies at the same time.
One track mind? Huh

22 since June here. I feel bad because I have been visiting the forums for a long time now but never post. I think I feel like many others in that I don't know enough to feel useful. I am learning though thanks to the many awesome people on these forums and I thank you all.

I'll try to show my face around here a little more because in the last year I have benefited so much from these forums.I went here to install my raptor petcock, just installed my new softail muffler, and I'm sure I did other things just forgot.

Once I become a little more savage savvy like you many wise old guys, I'll post some more Smiley. Thanks again for everyone's help even though you didn't know I was here lol!

37 and some months here, but I'm with Lancer: I stopped paying attention over a decade ago! Grin

Although today my lower extremities are feeling older. Rode up around Mount St. Helens with a friend on back, and hiked through the upper Ape Cave. More climbing than hiking really, and all those muscles that don't get used under normal circumstances are in open revolt! Shocked

Boy, you old guys love these bikes.

I only made Star. I had divorced parents and every vacation I'd go visit instead of going camping. Without the camping trips, even though I could demonstrate the skills, I couldn't advance to Life or Eagle.

I think I peaked last year. I'm going to be the big three-oh this year :/
Last year is when I noticed the girls in Maxim are the same age or younger than I am. It's awful. Been riding since I was 15 though.
