Robotics. I'm hopefully entering a competition in Austria in April.

Skiing... but you can only do that for a week or two. I need a hobby but at the moment lack the morale to do more than work and ride.

Like mo1959, I like to watch the archers, I go to the local club down at Apperley Bridge in the summer, I don't want to try it but do like watching.

I like vintage scooters and collect wristwatches but really, I love football and am not interested, at all, in any other sports. I watch it, coach it and still play it and I'll watch a.n.y football, PL to junior kids in a park, I can't help it, many of my cycle rides are planned around amateur games taking place along the route.

Hillwalking and traveling, mostly with our camper in recent years, oh and writing travel pieces for motorhome mags. Nowt wrong wi' a bit o' creativity y'know (I love apostrophes) .

 

[Drago]

Power lifting is my other sporting interest. After a year out of competition due to injury I'm finally competing again next month.

Aside from that amateur radio fills a.lot not my time, and I also devote a fair bit of time to being a Search and Rescue volunteer.

I was going to say the same ;-)

Would you like to clarify that statement !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Motorcycling - although my interest seems to be fading as the years go by. I know my reactions aren't what they once were, and I can't be bothered with all the faff any more (contact lenses in, plus all the gear to put on). SMIDSY also applies to motorbikes but usually at higher speeds.
My current bike, a Honda CBF600S, will probably be my last . End of an era, passed my test in 1983.

Very similar story, here. I seem to have completely lost my motorcycling mojo after 40 years of being an obsessive fan. Last year's mileage on the Versys was a truly pathetic 150 miles. I now find the appeal of a 40 or 50 mile pedal round the Forth far more enticing than a 200+ mile ride on the motorbike.

It was football but the more I get into cycling the more I see how pathetic football is. The supporters don't seem to be much better... you go to the ToB / TdF and it's a great day out (for free btw) but the last time I went to a football match there were far to many people screaming abuse at each other (and the ref). I do not miss football at all even despite my team being top of The Championship!

 

[HorTs]

Old VWs for me. We've got a '72 Bay Window camper.

 

[doughnut]

Sailing for me. Got a worse n+1 problem with boats than I have with bikes. Four boats (3 dinghies and one 22ft sailing boat) at the last count.

She just called. Apparently his breakfast making abilities are at odds with his user-name...

Aaaah, that's where I know you from. Of course!

Same here. My 1200GS Adventure has been gathering dust for a couple of years now (since I started cycling and became fitness orientated/obsessed). Can't quite bring myself to sell it.

I nearly bought a motorbike last year, a mint CX500, which was my most characterful bike. But when I put my sensible hat back on and thought about insurance and space to store it, I dropped the idea.

 

[Turbo Rider]

Writing, guitar, snowboarding, snooker...have a strong desire to get into oil painting as well, but I don't have the time at the moment. Archery though, reminds me of 10,000 BC and that's my favorite hobby at the moment, because that show is crazy awful.
