Yo Speedie,
I really like riding my motorcycle, and other peoples bikes as well. I wish to get back into racing again one day, probably Supermoto.
I also have the Prado for 4wd'ing and the kids like to go camping. Just last week got a 40mm lift, wow she climbs now.
I have my homebrew, and my wife. She gets attention too, whether she wants it or not.

Bikes, bush and beers. Ohh and the boobs too.

Surfing
Wakeboarding
White-Water Rafting

And travel to places where I can do all of the above!

Gee, and you make your own beer as well.

Would you class homebrewing as an action sport, or maybe an adrenalin sport?

Wow!

Sorry, also my work is a hobby sometimes, last week had 6 flights, perth-melbourne, melbourne-cairns, cairns- normanton, normanton-cairns, cairns-brisbane, brisbane-perth.

Was sposed to have half a day in normanton fishing and croc spotting but work got in the way.
Had a nice relax with some local legends there, and enjoyed some nice home made beef jerky.

Dunno where the bloody hell they learnt to talk but.... Ay old mate....

Surfing, at least once a week regardless of conditions. More often when it's pumping.

Car restoration. I've owned a series of Toranas. Now an HG Monaro which I'm doing up as finances allow (read slowwwwly). Good to hear there's a few fellow hoons out there on HB&B.

Watching the Mighty Hawks. I've been a member for 9 years. 2008 flag was the highlight, of course. I never miss a game in Sydney and try to get to Melb. at least once a year.

And of course brewing.

Cheers
Paul

Speedies grammar died years ago, she was pretty old

Cycling* and running, training for Ironman triathlon. Between that work and the innernets my week is pretty full.

*I've included XC Mountain Biking in addition to road cycling.

I gave this a go a few years back. Even did some races. I was last every time, even not fast enough at times that I'd DNF due to time remaining. But it was fun.
Should I not have hurt myself one race, I would have won the summer sprint title just by getting to every round, that would have been a proud but very funny accomplishment.
I will get back into it for fun again, especially as one of my sons is mad at it and is always burning up the tracks.

I have a collection of pickled shrunken human heads in jars and also like to get out a do the odd bit of dwarf tossing.

I've often wondered, do you get more distance if you hold them by the head or the feet?

It's best when they're shot from a circus cannon like a human cannon ball.......

Just curious Mick, is there an official season for freshwater fishing? Or is it just unpleasant or unproductive etc in winter?

Canberra food critic...

Fly-fishing for trout, fruit trees, BIAB, and just gearing up for adventure motorcycling. Before the kids turned up, also surfing, rock-climbing, camping, travel and bunny hunting.

Greg - Fresh water fishing is always unpleasant and unproductive.... Particularly on the Victorian trout streams.... I would encourage everyone to avoid them.... is a closed season for trout in the winter months. I am pretty sure there is a closed season for Murray Cod too, but I couldn't say when.

Shooting (clays)
Hunting
Fishing (mostly freshwater)
Camping with friends/family
Pony Club (watching daughter)

Dave, murray cod closed season Sept, Oct & Nov (in Vic and NSW anyway)
