Other hobbies/past times
« on: August 20, 2024, 07:24:15 AM »
My wife's niece and family showed up last weekend for a visit. Her husband lost his dad last year they are/were both motorcycle guys and rode together quite often. They had often talked about taking a trip down here and riding The Tail of the Dragon. Sadly, that never happened. So, I was happy to oblige and honored when asked if I'd ride it with him.

His bike on the left mine on the right.


Sadly, we found out this was added to 45 min or so before we arrived.


Gentlemen know you and your bikes limitations. Ride your pace, stay safe and enjoy the ride.

Sorry about the PIC size i forgot to edit it after uploading.

Now that would be confusing hung from the tree.

Last time I posted my other hobbies on the internet I got censored  :bolt:  Crazy you can't post pictures on the internet of dead animals without getting attacked.  Heck, you can't post anything without getting attacked anymore  :rofl

Right now most of my money goes towards playing live music.  You know the vicious cycle of a musician never satisfied with the way they sound  :rofl.  Will try to post some pictures later!

It's not just musicians. Pick just about anything. As an example, you can fish for cheap. Then its upgrade the rod and real. Then its if I had a John boat.  That escalates into if I had a bass boat... ya know I need a rig to pull it.

So I get ya.

Wife says I'm too old to ride. I don't agree with that but the people here drive like nuts. Maybe I'll get another Harley when they're giving them away. Paint Indian on the tank.

I drew my beloved 109 today  :devil

It's sort of based off a model my brother bought me I have yet to finish. A 109g10.

So getting back into art again I suppose.  Practicing drawing a lot of planes. I think I'll do a p47 next.

Thanks! I took your advice and started drawing more prop planes. Using a 3d model helps a lot more than images for reference
