Winter Hobbies?

[SliderPhoto]

You guys need to find something to do. You're already getting grumpy!  :P

[Super Dave]

LOL!

Hobbies?

Wait for ice to form.  Go ride on ice.

Got my H1 frame back from being powder coated...try to assemble it for Daytona...

I'm gonna play Madden NFL 2004 right now though... 8)

[SliderPhoto]

Where did you get it powder coated? Mukwonago? I need to get the F4 repainted and I think I'd like to strip it down and do the frame as well. I tore the RC down last year and swapped motors for fun. It still ran pretty good. :)

How's that a change from your summer racing?  ;D

BTW, what's the deal about all the bikes you DON'T own in your signature line?  ???

[H-man]

Puttering in the garage working on the bikes, duck hunting and snowboarding 8)  

Well, since I just started last winter.  It's more like tumbling down a hill while wearing a snowboard  ;D

Oh yeah... and sleeping.  Lots of sleeping in on the weekends.

[Chuck]

Nope...right here in good ole KC.  We have a wharehouse we set up different track configurations in.  Almost the most fun I've had on 2 wheels.  

I did however meet a friend of both Dan Ortega and yours on a pocket bike forum.  He recognized CCS in my signature and said he was pretty good buddies with the 2 of you.

Tom Fredericks hooked me up.  All by him.  Friends of his.  I'm completed indebted to his help on this.  Much better than I would have hoped.  

You have his number?

[Chuck]

We'll have to talk styles into having races again in front of the shop again at the next BHFs event.

Rosno and Perk went nuts on 90s last year...I was rolling.

[Chef]

Super_One,  ;D

Can I try the Ice with you this year?

well, ya think you can find room for me?..

(wait, sounds like a bit of a hike from Chi) how many hours driving?...

[Chuck]

You'll already be there racing the Great Plains CCS round ding dong!  ;)

[Jeff]

you can ride ice with me Ike...  I'll have the 450 and 150 out...

Just be forewarned that once you try it, you'll be spending money because it's a "must-have"...

[Super Dave]

I lover ridng on the ice...

But I'm limited to when I get invitations.  I just don't have money to have a play bike, let alone ice tires.  I did about eleven years ago.  And it was about that long since I last rode...until Jesse and Steve Janisch invited me out again.  It was great.

And my Yamaha dealer... http://www.sportsmanspark.net  ...well, they are on a lake, so we try to run each over as much as we can get an opportunity to do so...

[dylanfan53]

Dave,
That's not Joe Brown's old snowmobile place in Delavan is it? I used to buy snowmobiles from him a long time ago. Just curious.  

[Thingy]

Will you be playing HALO II online.  I can look for you after Christmas.  

Also, I have been to Bettendorf with several CCS and NESBA guys.  I am 'in' for that too.  There is nothing better than 10 bike guys walking into that place with $500 helmets.  Theywonder what the heck is going on.   ;D

[Protein Filled]

I'll be ice riding next weekend. We are taking a trip up to Fargo to go riding with Robbie Jensen. No need to wait up here. That is the one benefit of living up here... Not like I am rubbing it in or anything  ;D ;D

[Super Dave]

Don't know.  It's right on HWY 50 on Lake Delavan.

[pmoravek]

How do I stay busy all winter?

I work my a$$ off to pay for my roadracing addiction.
Anybody wanna buy some exersize equipment?
 ;D

OH yeah.  Halo 2 and MotoGP 2.  Look me up when you get it... my screenname is (drumroll please...) OmniGLH.  :)  I've got a group of friends who usually get together and play a few times a week (and get our butts kicked by most random 9-year-olds who find their way into our game...)

And Bettendorf was cool.  It's been 2 years since I've been out there, but I know what you mean  :)  There's a place nearby me here in Chicago (Chicago Indoor Racing) that we hit every now and again - most of the people think we're each some kind of hotshot race car driver because of our helmets  :)  

Little do they know I can't control 4 wheels NEARLY as well as I can control 2!

Ah that'd be NastyN8.  That boy could ride the heck out of a streetbike.  We tried and tried to get him on the track but couldn't get it done.  :(

I bet you're the guy he was talking about, then.. I know he said he met somebody online who knew who I was.  How often do you guys do the indoor racing there?  We might have to make our way out one of these weekends.

Well, since I just started last winter.  It's more like tumbling down a hill while wearing a snowboard  ;D

  H-man

     I've been downhill skiing almost every season since I started in '91. I'm looking to hit the slopes several times this season (not quite as literally as you though! :o ;)). Where have you gone to snowboard?

[StumpysWife]

Stumpy's going snowboarding this winter, too.  

He's been hitting the gym hard for about a month now and has a spinner thing for his road bike inside, too. We do a lot of cross country skiing, which from a check on local conditions, I see the trails are ready.  Yay!

Other than that, his hobby seems to be figuring out how to work the three remotes to the entertainment system in Stumpy's Pub.  Now last night Johnson brought over a new fangled touch screen one to program all three into...I'll never see him again!

It's dark at 4:30 pm right now.  Ugh.  Getting moving after work is a project!

I have the same one.  The Sony right?  It doubles as a weapon too.  Yould kill someone with the thing  :P ;D

[STRATTON]

Hobbies?  How about racing and track days year around.  Move here to Phoenix and it's 365 days a year.

[Chuck]

I knew it wouldn't be long before a warm climate racer was going to chime in...

Nah, I couldn't afford it.  Winter is the time that I save up money to go racing.

 ;)

[K3 Chris Onwiler]

I was thinking that for a hobby I'd drive to Pheonix and smack the first smug looking racer who had the nerve to comment on all the salt stains on my car. >:( ;D

Where have you gone to snowboard?

Since I just started, I haven't travelled to anyplace special.  I've gone to Pine Knob and Alpine Valley (2 mini hills/mounds of dirt in the metro Detroit area).

I've been to Crystal Falls (Benzie county in MI) for other reasons and would love to board there some time.  Maybe even Boyne.  I just don't picture myself travelling out west just to board.  Well... maybe if I won the lottery or there was some excellent adventure planned with friends (Hey K3!  I'll have a full tank when I pick you up.  Are you game for an adventure :o ;D)
