Besides our CVO bikes, what other activities do we enjoy? I am dividing my time between my CUSE and achieving my private pilot's license. It is difficult to explain the sense of satisfaction I feel when I nail a perfect landing, or finally perform any maneuver in textbook fashion. I'm still very new, but it has been so much fun. Reminds of when I first starting riding over 30 years ago.

I play online poker, $130k plus in tournament winnings in 2 years.
This is how I supplement my Chrome fetish and ...and actually paid for my '06 in 9 months time, and the '69 Vette the year before that, and a few other various goodies that I wouldnt of bought if I didnt have this 'dirty' money. I still havent hit the big score yet, some 1st place prizes in the tourneys I play are up to $190k for a $215 buy in. my best so far in that one is #23, went out on a bad beat, I was so close, and all I was thinking before I busted out was....'that sure will buy a lot of chrome.'

I like working on other CVO bikes [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

Uh, lemme think.....
buying chrome, installing chrome, repeat.

Heh, I resemble that remark. Who has time for other hobbies/pastimes when this one is/can be so expensive? [smiley=confused5.gif]
If I'm not working, I'm here finding ways to spend money so then I have to go back to work. [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

OK, I want Roger's job :D. (No pun intended.)
I spend most of my non-working hours on bike-related stuff...HOG chapter (I'm treasurer and newsletter editor), rallies, poker runs, etc., and my other hobby is cigars, which I can blend in with bikes. Oh yeah, I also dabble in screwing up ECMs on my bike... I just started that hobby. >:(

Don't mean to be a party poop, but motorcycles are it for me. As a matter of fact, I was going to start a thread about riding when I saw this one and figured Ah what the hell, they're used to me doing whatever I want anyway.
I have heart problems. Stress makes it worse. When I had my knee done I went into fibrilation and was a mess for 4 days. Cardiologist said a lot of it was stress. So when I got well, they told me to find ways to reduce the stress in my life. Only thing I've ever done in my whole 53 years on God's green earth that works for me is riding motorcycles. This afternoon is a classic example of that.

Well, Big B you hit the nail on the head with that post.
If we all, here and everywhere in the world could find that place, it would be a beautiful world.
Glad you found/have it and may you never lose it. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

you can't step a foot anywhere in my house without tripping, or bumping into, something HARLEY.

... but motorcycles are it for me. ......Elvis was running like a Swiss watch at about 80, traffic was light and moving along smoothly, the sky was a gorgeous blue with white puffy clouds and the sun was still bright and warm. Every fiber of my being was in harmony with each other and my mind was clear and strong. The bills are paid, the family is happy and healthy and my life is full and content. I have people in my life who care about me and about whom I care. And for all this I thank God. I'm not an outwardly religious man, but I have core beliefs that see me through whatever trials and travails life presents me with. One of those beliefs is that if we listen to ourselves ( which in my mind means we listen to God speakin through us) we find that which brings us peace and harmony with the world. Somewhere about 40 years ago I found motorcycles. I thank God for that too. ...

For about a year now, since knee starting going bad, I have enjoyed restoring old cars. Presently have two main projects going, a 69 camaro, and 66 Chevy truck ( which is my son's). Soon to acquire a 68 Chevelle SS which I will start on next year. My shop is full. But I enjoy it, is a great stress relief from the job. I done get in a big hurry. Turn on the tunes and I am OK.
I do enjoy riding, and have done a little, but until my medical problems are corrected, I done feel real stable on a bike just yet.

WOW ! Those pics are off the charts Dude.
The old adage about a picture being worth a thousand words sure applies to the pics you've posted here.
Thanks for sharing [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

[smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] There are no pictures that I am aware of of my folks and us kids growing up in the praries. My Dad was a hunter of necessity to feed parents and four kids. He taught himself through other's stories how to tan hides and he sold many for years and years for annual winter income. We all had ski-doo suits and boots, we had fur trimmings around the hoods of our suits, beaver skinned mitts with beaver felt tops that were lined with wool mitts our Grandma knit us. We had felt liners in our boots that we took in each day to dry over the heater vents. I can't remember all the local remedies, but we kept warm with natures best back then. We rode our ski-doos without helmuts or heated assistance and we worked the trap lines and had fun. Kinda reminded me of the pictures here, less the mountains in the distance. Thanks for sharing. ;)

djkak,
Your pictures were breath taking. Even though I don't like cold and snow (probably has something to do w/arthritis) I can definitely appreciate the beauty in those pictures. I especially like the one I've quoted you from and will be adding that to my collection. Thanks.

ColdHandlebar_10.jpg: Taken near Glenwood Springs, CO. If you look below the left ski in this picture you can see the top of a tree poking through the snow. When we looked into the hole we could not see the bottom. We all agreed that spinning the sled around and getting the hell out of there was a good idea.

ColdHandlebar_11.jpg: Taken near Whitefish MT. Look closely at this picture and you can see the sled tracks up the slope as well as a large Bungee cord attached to my rear bumper which runs over the edge. On a clear night you can still hear the laughter from the Montana locals that directed us to this amazing route out.

djkak - Your pictures are fantastic! It looks like you guys were having a great time. I live in the Atlanta area & as you know, do not get much snow. I have snowmobiled a couple of times on vacation but nothing like that. Absoluted great pictures, we are heading to Stow Vermont for Christmas & have already booked snowmobiles & am now really looking forward to the experience!
-
djak those are great pictures. Here in Sacramento we get the best of both worlds. Later today I'll be riding my bike in 69F weather. But if I wanted to......I could drive and hour and a half up the mountain and be at one of the ski resorts that opened last weekend. Thanks for shairing the photos.

Great pics, you can have that white stuff though. Here on the coast if it looks like snow this place closes down. It becomes a ghost town. We don't even have equipment to remove the stuff. If on that rare occasion it does snow it usually melts within 12-24 hours [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
Nice to see someone else enjoying it though.

I spent 40 years in the frozen tundra of Michigan, and though I loved it at the time NC is the place for me. If I am going to have my face in the wind it will be on wheels, not tracks and skis.
Absolutely beautiful pics though!! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

i got a buddy with a spare sled, so i get to play in the white stuff from time to time

And last but not least. I was in the UK last month and spotted a bottle of Bombardier Bitter. Great full bodied taste and if you find yourself a little short, it doubles as two stroke injection oil, gasoline, engine coolant, track lube and a fabulous swirl and scratch remover.
