Not sure if it really counts as a hobby, but I like to make tins of lager into empty tins of lager

Perhaps using Cosmic as a stimulation machine we should have a competition of painting or pencil a picture of our own bike !!

I've been known to dabble in a bit of sketching and painting, but haven't done much for a while. One of my better efforts in watercolour and gouache:

A pencil sketch and a first effort with acrylics:

Yes, other than the Fazer. I am into making replica side covers for various makes and models of classic bikes that I sell all over the world. Just finished a Honda CB900 Custom mould and layed up my first replica this afternoon. Waiting on the fibre glass to set and see what the mould produces. Just a few of the models I make for. I also replicate the side cover emblems and other parts too.
Also like to do a bit of machining etc, My next purchase looks like it will be a Milling machine to go with the lathe and tig welder.

You're a pretty good artist Nick.

In fact I'm very impressed with some of the things the rest of you do. Even making empty beer cans :-)

Like a couple on here, my hobby turned into a business.
At 44 years of age and at the end of a fairly long relationship, in 2001, i put in for a grant and set up an Audio/Visual production studio.
Then in 2004, i incorporated a music publishing company and two independent record labels, releasing just over 30 albums.
In 2008, i put the labels on hold and concentrated more on corporate work, which was much less stressful than dealing with the prima donna's in the music industry.
A lot of my work now, involves transferring vinyl to cd and vhs to dvd, plus i've been supplying weekly podcasts to a company in Switzerland for the last five years.

I'm sure I'll pick up more hobbies as life progresses but primarily its mechanics (both car and bike) and then gaming... yeah yeah yeah, I know... PC is my weapon of choice - I own consoles but use them so rarely I often forget they exist :P

Bloody hell, you lot make my hobbies seem so boring, and wot a lot of talented foccers you are.
Apart from my fazer I do a bit of fly fishing, tie flies, just joined a shooting club, .22 and .38s until I get through the full bore course. I have just bought a DSLR, wish I could take photies like KK or Tori, can't use the thing yet.
