    Default What other hobbies?

    So what other hobbies do the people at Club Polk have?

    I myself like cars and motorcycles. No cars to play with at the moment, but I do have a GSXR 750 & TRX 250R quad.

    Just wondering what people here are into.

    Those GSXRs are some fast bastards.

    I'm into anything two-wheeled - cycling with or withouta motor :) Only have a 1981 Yamaha for m'cycles right now, due to cost.

    I'm also a computer geek.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Used to have cars as a hobby but since I am now gainfully employed part time as a diesel mechanic, it's a job. I do get to work on and drive dump trucks, trash trucks, rollbacks and a bunch of front-end loaders and bulldozers though!

    The only reference you'll ever need:

    www.ar15.com

    You'll need to buy your lower receiver thru a dealer, the rest can purchased on-line, and yes, it's perfectly legal.

    That's not a hobby. Hobbies are things you do for FUN! :)

    In addition to all things audio, I like:

    loud, fast things with wheels

    photography

    speaker building (but that's audio, really)



    Russ' response a few lines up made me spew Gatorade on my keyboard. It wouldn't be all that funny, except he's serious..:D
