What do you guys do besides ride?
I was curious what sort of other hobbies you guys have besides riding.
For the last few years my life has revolved around riding in the summer and skiing in the winter. I tend to run a bit as well.
I went climbing a few times in HS and was thinking about taking a class at adventure Rock in Peawaukee to try and pick that up again. That and I have an urge to take some japanese cooking class for some reason.
So anyone do anything interesting in their free time?

I swim with a master's program in the area, and attend the occasional swim meet (I've been swimming since age 9). Keeps me in shape and out of trouble.
I play the occasional video game to keep my reactions sharp. GTA San Andreas and GT4 are out this winter...
I take the opportunity to visit new resturaunts (one year my roomate and I visited a new fish fry every Friday) and, yes, bars on the weekends, since I don't get much of a chance to go drinking during the summer.
As well, there is an indoor kart track in Chicago... I usually hit that up at least once a month for a good dose of cornering speed. They're pretty fast, not the amusement park type. I'll post up next time I plan a trip.
Oh yeah - look at pictures from trackdays, watch bike DVDs, visit Corse Superbikes...

Sportbike: Recently Parted with my bike
I party (too young for bars), October I spend every weekend that I don't work at Haunted Houses and try to get the shit scared out of me (doesn't work though), I have random people live with me every winter during their breaks from school and leave from the military so me and them people go kick it a lot and lastly, school and work. That is it.

Lol it's my parents house, but yeah they don't really care who stays. My only 2 rules: not while they are out of town and no boys sleeping in the same bed...
Heal from the summer, Wait for the ice to form , The of course the only thing left to do on two wheels is......ICE RACE. Want to try it this year Andy? It will help you to learn how to back your bike into coners and slide out with confidence.
I got into bowling last winter, the sport of champions....i'm fixin to get the ball out and find some good lanes up here. I also got into geocaching. I used to x-country ski alot, and i'm thinkin about picking another set up this winter, or getting some snow shoes. I'm also thinkin about getting set up with ice fishing gear....since the lake is about 20 feet that way **points out the window**
