Some of your "other" hobbies?

Do you want to talk about your beautiful country, family, or dog? Would you like to say where you went on holiday or how you arranged the garden? Are you willing to tell us you girlfriend left you for a(nother) loser? Do you have ANY non knife-related topic you want to discuss? This is the place!

[quote="Jeff_75"]I've actually made thousands of dollars with this stuff selling my collection over time.
The first one is signed by George Lucas as well as the stars pictured + COA
An extra storage shed holds most of my figures, this is a small portion. Mint condition I never open them and they're stored or encased in plastic or acryllic etc.. all these are just the stormtrooper / clone troopers. a very small part of my collection.



nice collection jeff. I am a collector of such items. I will take pics one day and share. I have over 100 figures, few vehicles and misc items etc....

nice stuff --love the wall hangers.

Anything to do with guns. I enjoy reading about the history,ballistics,reloading,shooting etc.
I am not a hunter but I am not opposed to the idea. I enjoy eating elk,moose,deer and a friend of mine is going to bring some pheasant next time he goes hunting.I've not had it yet.
Again not much of a fisherman but I love to eat fish,all kinds from fresh to saltwater.

I build small furniture pieces such as night stands,end tables,chairs and may get into display cases eventually. I use red oak most of the time,it's durable and I am used to the way it works.
Leather is another hobby,I have made rifle slings,guitar straps,knife sheaths,belts and a few years ago my girlfriend's-friend asked if I could make her some leather thong sandals and so I have made about 10 pairs through the years,kind of a "hippie-style".
I draw and airbrush on occassion.

I also collect antique tools such as axe/hatchets,old sledgehammer heads,wood working tools anything Winchester(I only have two items)they are extremely hard to find.
One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is throwing axes. Gransfors Bruks (Sweden) and Oxhead (Germany) are my favorites. I have not thrown the Tuatahi (New Zealand),they are supposed to be awsome.

I also collect bottle openers and would love to have some from where a lot of you guys live.
If you come across one with a pub name or local brewery I would be happy to buy it from you.
Or any unusual opener for that matter.

I like Czech beer,Staropramen,Pilsner Urquell and Krusovice.
Love music,anything from Dean Martin to Opeth. Don't listen to music as much as I used to.

And motorcycles are my passion. Like with my guns,I like them all,old,new,chopper,tour,street,dirt doesn't matter. Vintage Bultaco,Montesa,Maico,Honda,BMW,Norton,BSA,Triumph and Vincent are always cool.
I may be buying a Honda XR650L,can't wait. Of course I like Harley's too.

I used to own an XR650l. Great bike. I have an '05 DRZ 400s with only 700 miles in great condition. Send me a PM if interested. Personally, I found the 650L to be a bit of a pig riding trails. I've had lots of dualsport bikes over the years and my all time favorite was the KTM LC4 640. I used to convert dirtbikes before they changed the laws in Georgia. :roll:

I have had a lot of dual purpose bikes,mostly Honda so I am used to them and always found them reliable and held up nicely.
I bought a bran new 79 XL250 with the 23" front tire :lol: ,pretty good ole bike though.
I had a blast on that thing.
The KTM's are super-nice bikes,expensive but what isn't these days?
Your DRZ sounds awsome but I prefer the suspension of the XR a little better.
Is yours the yellow or blue one?

Mr. TR,

A most expensive and time consuming hobby. It is however, a necessity.

Hondas are great and you can almost run one with no oil in it and it'll survive. Easy to find parts...I completely understand. KTM's...Man, the KTM's are some sweet rides. All of mine (LC4 640, LC4 400, RXC 620, 300 EXC) have all been nothing short of outstanding. I've horse traded most of these past bikes. None bought new. I'll have to see if I can scan and post a B/W 35mm of my street legal 2-stroke 300. You'll get a kick outta that, if I can get it up here. :wink: BTW, the DRZ is yellow.

I think that's very cool. Is it true tarantulas can live for 20/25 years?

Perhaps in the wild, but I can't seem to get my captive ones to go beyond 5-8 years. They are very finicky about temperature and humidity.
