What other obsessions do you have?


It's obvious that many of the people here have gone off the deep end (yes I include myself) with equipment and music purchases.

The question is what other obsessions do you have, or what else are you really into?

I was getting carried away with Martial Arts before an injury sidelined me, I would rather ride my motorcycle than drive, and I spend way too much time on the computer (most of it on AudiogoN). If I had the money I would have a bigger and better collection of wine. Other than that I'm perfectly sane! NO really!!!

DannyLW,

Once I got my Seven (Alaris with Chorus/FSA carbon cranks/Eurus wheels) My custom Serrotta Csi became one more thing to dust!!! I haven't riden it since the Seven arrived. BTW Seven got me the bike 14 days after I was measured for it!!! Thanks guys!!!

Other interests..

Single cask scotch, wine, cars, Cuban cigars....usually with scotch, traveling, pets (we have a Great Dane, Golden Retreiver and three cats), photography (both digital and 35mm) to name a few.
Rediculously fast street cars.
I'm building a car around a 521ci engine which happens to be a 1965 Mustang. Building a reliable 700hp+ engine with no nitrous oxide, turbos, or supercharger is a challenge, but building a car to accept and withstand it is nuts. It seems like every single part has to be hand fabricated. Front suspension, rear suspension, chassis, headers, exhaust system, rear axle, rack and pinion, brakes, electrical system, fuel system, and on and on.

I really have no business being into such an expensive hobby. Audio can be very expensive, too, but the car is where I sink more cash.
motorcyling (BMW R850R: go on long runs - nyc to quebec city, maine, upstate ny, all point in new england as well as various points in southern europe). however a bit overdone on the biking at the moment, focusing more on martinis, cooking and culinary arts...
Mountain biking, for about 10 years now.
I bought a Seven Sola last year and I just love the titanium ride.
Slipknot1 my wife and I took the kids (along with our exchange student) to Taliesin last year. It was amazing, but the buildings are getting quite run-down. I used to live on Oak Park Il and would wander around looking at FLW's homes and studio. Wow!

I have a mountain bike that collects a lot us dust since I bought my Victory motorcycle. This time of year they both collect dust. When it's nice out the truck just gets shuttled in and out of the garage so I can ride the bike.

I enjoy reading, it's a hobby that goes very well with listening to music. I'm not catholic but I gave up TV for lent and have been enjoying music and reading a lot more the last couple of weeks.

I like collecting wine but not on the scale that others here have. I have about 50 bottles. I have recently enjoyed Spanish Sherry quite a bit. My wife and son went to Italy a couple of weeks ago. She brought back some Wine and Brandy!!!

I used to sell mens clothes, and the habit has stuck. I dress up to go to church, but I still have dozens of ties and shirts, and probably 15 suits and sport coats. I need to take my wife out to eat more often. Then I could get more wear from that stuff.

There must be more, but I'm at a loss...
