Other Hobbies ...

Had it since around 1990. When I bought it it still had the original tires front and back. Since then I've replaced the suspension from and back. Progressive shock, with a aluminum swing arm from a 1990 XR600R along with lacing up a 18 inch rear rim. It's got a 1991 KTM250 exc rear fender. The front is a 2001 Yamaha YZ250 fork tubes and front wheel mounted in a 2006 Honda CRF 250r triples. Like I said, poor thing doesn't know what it is Any more.🫣 I guess that just goes along with society these days.😁

Metal detecting!!!! Beach hunting. Right now have 3 machines XP Deus 2, Minelab Sovereign Elite, Minelab Vanquish 540 and Minelab Manicore on order waiting for it to come in. The Gold I get I put towards the second hobby air rifles.
Right now on hold on all hobbies I just had my second heart attack on Jan 7 2023 so taking time to recover. Mean while driving my wife around from Cancer treatments.

Never let what people post on social media get you down. It’s very selective, both in terms of who bothers to post and in terms of what they choose to present.
Thanks guys... I'm good. I should have added a wink and a smile emoji to that post. I like what I do and have. I was so impressed with the variety of interesting pastimes I suppose I was feeling a little envious.
This is an awesome forum filled with good hearted like minded folks. Spending time at this site is an important part of my day.
You people rock!

Nice 34 Ford,,,,, i would for sure wheel something like that,,,, well over much of the "poo" they crank out today.

I have tried a mint model T,,,,, that was a WTF moment, but at least i can say i have "driven" one, not many can say that in this day and age.

That Morgan too, though i do think i would need motoring glasses as i would be sticking up over the windscreen with my +6 foot height.

I have dabbled in many other things too, just not find it worth mentioning those, for instance while fly fishing, i of course tied my own flies,,,,, a science in itself.
