I've got a weakness for bikes:

There's enough $$$ here for a SOS stroker and Supercharger 550rwhp/440rwtq kit.

Softride Classic with Dura-Ace 7800 group:

Griffen Vulcan with SRAM Force/Rival and Shimano compact crank:

Custom Rigid Magnesium bike with Titanium fork and a custom powder coat:

And my most recent edition. Full 970 XTR/XX Rockshox/Canecreek parts:

I love cellphones, i have a personal collection of older phones and i fix them for a living.
 
I convert things into other things. Most recently, I've converted a mess of old computers into planters. Before that, I was converting the same things into aquariums. Some pics here.

I also occasionally get out my airbrushes and ask my wife and some of our friends to take off their shirts so I can bodypaint on them. Here are some examples from our practice sessions last year.

Also, I go to lots of car shows and take lots of pictures. Not really sure if it qualifies as a hobby, but I do bother to put them online here.

Ah, almost forgot, I recycle my NSX rear tires too!

Photography, cycling, weight lifting, reading, and shooting. I shift back and forth depending on what time allows and what my fickle nature is interested in at any given moment.
 
Fishing! Optical illusion artwork, wood carving, chainsaw wood carving, organizing, interior design and decorating, harping on details.

Is the rear tire flat on the bike in the first picture?
 
the old analog brick phones? Can those still work on todays towers. I so want bring back those mammoths.

if someone could stuff GSM electronics into a "Zach Morris", I would so rock that! :biggrin:
 
I like fish. Eating them and keeping them in little glass boxes. :cool:

I also enjoy playing racquetball, golf and collecting watches. I have a bad back, so I can't play as much as I used to.
 
I jet ski in the summer. Our Chicago crew travels all over the place. Last summer we went to Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Missouri, New York, Daytona and Virginia Beach. Each city has their own group, which sets up an event. Usually its camping and raising hell for the weekend.

This is the Wave Rave in Michigan. 60 or so standups made it to this one. No sitdowns (couches) allowed!
