Your non-aviation addictions?
« on: March 11, 2012, 11:49:09 AM »
Other than real or 'toon airplanes, what gets your blood pumping (other than womens, of course, don't get this thread png'd by posting pics of barely clothed ladies)....

For me, other than race cars, I have a strange fascination/obsession with old BMW cafe racer airheads.......









My parents both ride Harleys, but I for some reason have never felt like they "did it for me." Something about the vintage cafe look, though... whoooo boy.

What 'bout y'all?

Hell get shot at by anything more serious than paintball or bb guns. When it's for real, the thrill factor goes through the roof. It turns out to be a lot more fun well after the fact however.

Video games. Yes, I buy almost every single game that's been released since '01 when I started playing.

My top 10 in no particular order

Aces High
Jane's WWII Fighters
Neverwinter Nights
Runescape (When I was a kid, this game was awesome)
Battlefield 1942
Call of Duty 4
Fallout 3
Skyrim
Apache vs Havoc Enemy Engaged
12 O'clock High: Bombing the Reich

and Hidden and Dangerous was my first shooter.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Nice bikes  :old:  I like the vintage look too, my parents owned and operated a vintage motorcycle shop for most of my young life and when I was a little 'un I was dragged to countless vintage race meetings, rallies and functions. I say 'dragged' because at the time I was totally fed up with being constantly around motorbikes ;) But now I'm older I find I really appreciate the vintage aesthetic.

My other addictions: books, ice/roller hockey, blood bowl (www.fumbbl.com) and my family
