other hobbies
Winter isn't a whole lot of fun all of the time for the quads - although my neighbor and I have gone riding in 5 degree (minus 20 windchill) weather with no ill effects. I'm waiting for a little non-frozen & dry weather so my neighbor and I can work on our ATV track in the back yard (He has a bobcat and I've got 11.25 acres of clear land - other than the house and our 1/2 acre pond).We've got a couple of jumps and some lightly banked turns so far.
For other hobbies:
I'm also into camping (30' Prowler TT)
R/C - I've got a brushless R/C Truck (Runs in the 60-65mph range - when I can keep the front down) that I take in the basement with the kids. I also run 2 Trucks that run on 30% Nitromethane (1 is 2wd & runs in the 50's & 1 is 4wd and runs in the 40's - both have 2 speed transmissions and disc brakes).
Street bikes (2000 Ninja ZX-11 - comfortable and fast)
Shooting a little
My 6yo son loves to play playstation 2 and 3, so we do that quite a bit when the weather doesn't cooperate. He gives the old man a run for his money from time to time.
This year, I'll have tons of yard work to do (Planting trees, cutting brush, seeding, etc.) as we built a house last fall and have not a single tree on all 11.25 acres. I also need to build a back deck and landscape everything.
