Well, if I had time and money, theres LOTS of stuff Id love to actively and regularly participate in. But, the "car stuff" comes first. Then hiking and photography.

Something I used to do but havent for 2 decades are plastic model kits. Still have kits unopened, opened but not started and in various stages of completion. But I guess the models just goes along with the "car stuff".

BMX biking. I'll post up some links later. I'm getting drunk currently. lol.


BMX was my hobby when I was younger. I had, and still have the original Thruster Tri-Power frame and forks in ecxellent condition. I built my bike from the frame up. I bought the bike complete, but when I got home I replaced the rims, spokes, hubs, spocket, crank, handlebar stem, ect.. My bike was stripped and light for racing, no chain guard, single rear brake, and plastic seat. I raced and competed many times. Damn that was fun........

Dude my shit wont start with the puller. How do I get it to start and I think my solenoid is bad as well because it no longer turns red.
You can get a new pullstart or buy a bump starter which you hook up to a car battery, I don't use pull starts they suck off power :thumb:
and you're solenoid? you mean the glow starter? does it look like this?

It's reliable, you just bump the flywheel with it to turn the engine over while you ignite the plug.

When you have it tattoed on yourself its more then a hobby. lol

LOL!..yeah you're right - I was New England regional criterium champion in 1994 & raced in Europe (Belgium) for a couple years after that... VERY serious cycling, NOT a hobby! Now I spend more time playing guitar & I'm getting into drag racing my Roush!
