Previous hobby before biking

[Tigadee]

Before entering ["It's a trap!"] the world of bikes, one hobby I enjoyed for a year was painting... Nerf guns. I enjoyed turning gaudy orange, yellow and red toys into something that looked more convincing and could possibly be used on a movie set [at least for wide shots and not close-ups anyway].

I'd like to share a video slideshow of the Nerfs I'd painted. If you're laughing, then click away from here, I understand. If you enjoy it, then thanks.

like most people my age we got into bikes because they were a cheap mode of transport in the 70s, nearly every young feller i knew had a road legal trail bike

I got in to them for the buzz when I got my first real pay packet in the late 80's. Have had plenty of hobbies since them, just never thought of riding as one.

Hobbies? Not really but I did enjoy tying trout flies when living in Twizel ... then moved th Chch and got into biking. Haven't touched my fly rod for 10 years now. Very sad. Love to get back into fly fishing but haven't had the time to explore the water.

Heheh, I like the Tau rifle you did. My hobbies are many and varied, suffice to say I am an avid Warhammer 40K gamer and everything that being a modeller entails!

But bikes definitely have that certain ring-a-ding-ding that touches my funny bone in all the right ways!

...I gave up a passion for fishing when I caught the fish I spent twenty years chasing and throwing untold thousands at ...bikes have never been a hobby...motorcycles are just like daylight to some...you wake up every morning and it's there...my missus wishes I had a hobby...

I mixed football and drinking... and on the odd occasion tripped balls for the night.

I don't think he was asking what your previous hobby was. Just sharing his.

Which means I know who to see when I get the Ural with Sidecar and want to mount of them Nerf machine guns on it.

Used to competitively sail catamarans (and model aircraft in my teens - real anorak) but riding bikes was the thing I always came back to. Next year, I'll have been riding bikes for 50 years apart from a short gap when I got married.... Real Old Fart status

Oh. Right. There was no poll attached so I assumed that it was a free for all. My bad. Apologies to the OP... fuckin freak.

Teenage masturbation...

Nah it was a hobby

JD got it right, but no worries, share all you want...

BTW, I didn't mean to imply that motorbiking was a hobby, just that this was something I did that occupied my time. Being on my motorbike is more a passion, a journey, an experience... Ommmmmm-ommmmmmmm

So you spend as much time as my son tucked away painting models then, a new army seems to be quite a time consuming thing, fortunately I've got him into riding bikes as well so he's not a complete geek. And my DRZ400 is restricted licence legal for him to ride now

I used to ride my collection of pushbikes before I got seriously into motorbiking, I really should get back into that lest i become even more fat and lazy than I currently am, you know how far you've slid when you look at a hill you could easily ride a couple of years ago and decide nah fuck it too hard I'll have a beer instead.
