Audio as a hobby

Shubertmaniac, i've got an older Harley that i'm VERY slowly modifying / rebuilding. Also have an old Corvette Stingray that i'll probably end up rebuilding the motor on next year. Used to have 6 different "muscle cars" at one time. They ranged from turbo charged small blocks to 482" big blocks with Weber's on them. Not only can that stuff get expensive ( in terms of parts and storage ), it can literally kill you if you're not careful. Having that much power and not using it was too much of a temptation for me. You would not believe the amount of tickets that i had within about a 6 year time frame. It would make your head spin. My lawyer LOVED me to say the least and i was on a "bulk rate" program with him. Now i drive a 4 cylinder / 5 speed Tempo back and forth to work and still average about 2 tickets a year : ) Sean

Good to see other cyclists here. I do some sport racing on a SantaCruz Superlight. I also road ride two nights a week on a Cannondale R2000 with a small group, usually a quick thirty or so. I'm also an avid windsurfer and wave sailer. Any other boardheads in here? Audio is my winter sport.

I gotta get more of a life! Too busy at work and the constant moving/building (new homes) that seems to go with it. Love golf. Love to cook. Love single malts. The kids are pretty much gone, but I love to watch movies with my son when he's around. Altogether too sedentary. I used to fence (foil) and take Tae Kwon Do -- but that was a while back. What to do? What to do? I'll sit back and think on it for awhile. Does anybody have any ice?

I rode chromoly for a couple of years before switching to aluminum. At 6'-3" and 235 I didn't trust the flexier frames. I only ride mountain bikes but I end up on the road a lot. I like to commute with them too. I started with a GT Zaskar which I rode a few seasons and then went to my first Klein. The next year I bought another and have had it for almost three years now. A personal record! Due to my size I have found the aluminum to work much better and I don't experience the pounding some riders comment about. Again probably a size issue. Now I'm down to one bike but yesterday I bought an American made (no not a harley, it's really American made) Victory cruiser. I can't hang this from the ceiling in the garage though. I guess this means whoever is coming to Vegas for CES should bring their bikes.

Hi Nrchy:
Whatever keeps you on the road/trail is cool! I think the important thing is that you're there and enjoyin it, not what you're on.

I remain,
