Got any other hobbies?
« on: 27 October 2013, 06:44:24 pm »
What do you get up to other than your Fazer?

I have been building Quadcopters and taking cameras up for aerial video for 2 - 3 years on and off.  Would love to video a motobike riding along a cool cliff top road.

This week I've been mostly tinkering in the garage

I have a multiplex funjet ultra aswell. Top spec esc/ motor and unbuilt. Flyin with dx8. All goin up for sale soon. Great hobby. Made loads of friends after i join BMFA (which u should do for the public liability insurance). Quite expensive hobby and would rather put the money into R1 front end and R6 back.  I do have a little quad. Great fun :-))
Just flapping about on this stagnant little pond on the outer rim of the internet.....yup....  :-))

I'm pretty into my music, films, hifi and home cinema stuff. Used to be at gigs every week, but kids put paid to that, so redirected my interests to hifi/cinema gear in the house.



Also do a lot of website programming (mostly PHP/MySQL and Wordpress). I married the two hobbies together a couple of years back and knocked out a little search engine to help find second hifi gear going cheap (www.HiFiHunter.com). Does alright, earns me some beer money. :)

I'm a musician. Play guitar and sing. Songs by others, songs of my own.

You'll regularly find me  entertaining folks in pubs around the Huntingdon area.

I even got played on Absolute Radio last year. Which was nice!  :D

Right now it's just the biking, but I used to be into classic VWs and Triumph cars in a big way, in the last 20 years I owned about 50 of the money draining little bastards!  :lol

Other hobbies I seem to be lacking in.
Got a yammie enduro bike but got bored as there's only a few places to ride now.  Been thinking of getting a half decent MTB bike and riding around the local countryside as pushbikes can go just about anywhere.
Had a look online and got well confused with the choice available. :eek

I do like a bit of model making. Sometimes from scratch or modifying kits. I was also a bit of a petrol head racing mini motos, go karts, grass track side cars, and national sprint racing. My current project is a 1:99th scale model of HMS Victory, but this is really a long time project. I also want to return to my love of painting and illustration.

Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad

Not so much a hobby as a profession. I am a Sound Engineer to trade and have spent much time working with 3D sound. I made this video a while back for a presentation. You guys might like the section starting around 3:10.

 :lol Yes. I used to sell them at motorsport events like Autosport International, Brooklands Museum and at a few local shows. I also do wildlife art... mostly birds of prey. It's a passion that I've not had a lot of time to dedicate too in the last decade. I need to get back into it for my own sanity.

Cheers Locksmith.

Blimey Kosmic, you might just inspire me to get my H.M. Bark Endeavour model out and start building that, after 15 odd years.

Go for it!

I've seen this ship on a few occasions docked and also sailing out of Whitby. Don't try and build it in one hit. My Victory usually comes out at Christmas time for a few weeks.

 :lol Don't do it in one hit, its taken 15 years not to get it out of the box. Got some winter maintenance on the bike first, but now i have a garage and work space over the next year it might see the light of day.
New baby coming in December so might need jobs in man cave to keep me sane. ;)


Lovely pics as well.
