show off your hobbies/toys.

What do you all do when your not tinkering on the truck.
I'm in to street bikes. Once summer comes the truck will be mainly used to get too and from track days.

This is my 2nd Bike. 2005 Yamaha R6 pretty much stock in street trim.

Ready to Race all no performace mods yet. I'm still slow and I need stuff like supension Here is a pic of me at my latest track day.

this is at Danville VA. VIR. My R6 is pretty much a dedicated track bike now since I pick up and 07 FZ1 Bassicly an upright R1 or R1 with handlebars on it.



The FZ1 has the same motor as the R1 with a different cam and the tune is a little different. Think it has a little bit more low end for "streetablity" Its more conftorable to ride espically two up becuae the Girl ride with me a lot. The R6 is pushing 100+HP to the rear wheel and weights about 360 pounds dry.
the FZ1 is about 400 pounds dry and is pushing I think about 140's to the rear wheel.

I have had the Speedo on the R6 show 153 on the VIR's south course on the strightaway. I think thats about as fast as I have ever piolited any machine to go.

Nice bikes bro!

I'm hoping to get a Honda ATV soon. Other than that my hobbies are fishing, going to the beach, and being sarcastic and cynical.

I was going to say my scooter until I saw your bikes I don't have deep pockets but like to wrench on something, can get the 50cc up to 50MPH pretty quick....... a 70cc mod along with a new carb and variator will be soon follow. It's perfect for cruising around town here at the beach, avoiding summer traffic and $50 fill-ups.

I have made a lot of cosmetic changes, some performance mods;


I do a lot of metal detecting on the MD/DE beaches too, and yes I have found some interesting finds not just clad.

Other hobby includes RC, currently driving a Losi LST all modded up;


And lastly photography. Here is an online album of mine, haven't been out in a while though;

Suppose now its mtn bike season, too lazy to load new pics. Ride an Ellsworth Full suspension & steel hardtail G.Fisher. Also a steel Jamis and Carbon for the road.

Snow is melting, but here's my winter hobby... paying medical bills.
