Default Need a hobby. Suggestions?

In addition to riding. Looking for something to do that needs precision, attention to detail, some skill and maybe some creativity. Was thinking building r/c helicopters but that can get real expensive fast. Better than r/c cars which people view as kids toys. Wouldn't need a stupid amount of space like r/c planes.

Any others? What's your hobby besides riding (and browsing the internet for softcore **** pics if you're Nate)

I just started bicycling. Got me a road bike and I love it bro, very relaxing and a good work out. It does start getting expensive when you start looking into the carbonfiber bikes. Johnnyh

Well, bicycling is my life. My CBR is just something I spend time with now and then. I love long distance and endurance type stuff the best. I'll be off to France again in August to meet up with over 5,000 riders from all over the world for a 760 mile event that started back in 1891.

Wife and I recently got into geocaching. Click on the link to learn all about it. It's a lot of fun going out there and finding unknown treasures and spending a little quiet time with each other while we're looking for things. People can get really creative on how they hide their caches and it sometimes takes me several trips back to the same location before I finally find it.

Santa gave me lots of geocaching stuff for Christmas. I'm getting better at using it and learning some of the tricks on finding these hidden treasures. We will probably go out this weekend and look for some.

besides riding i play video games and basketball about twice per week. but as far as a hobby you can sit down and do something wtih?

my other biggest hobby is probably shooting. when its nice i go out every weekend or so and shoot. not much to do as far as sitting around though. its fun cleaning guns and things but that only needs done every so often

+1 for Geocaching. Its pretty fun and there are always plenty of them. Its cheap to get started to.

Other than that i enjoy video games, the gym, and fishing. Fishing is all about
precision, attention to detail, some skill and maybe some creativity
PLus its not to expensive unless your going for bass.
