Moto Rider

This started this in another thread however it deserves it’s own. Your passions!
I work 48hr per week so on my days off I have many things to keep me occupied like working on my car, motorcycle, bicycle and keeping up on the house. However, after that it’s my time. If I’m not riding my moto or hiking with my dog I’ll be riding my motorcycle. It’s a 03 bandit 1200. I’ve done a lot of work to it. An “Ivan” jet kit, Modified the air box, changed out the front gear to give me a 7% torque boost, Installed a full exhaust system “Muzzy” headers, mid pipe and titanium can. Modified the rear suspension as to allow the use of a Suzuki Hayabusa, rear shock. Too many comedic changes to list.
I started a group called “NBOC” at one point in time we had about 65 menders and we road around every weekend. We would ride hard and fast on the back roads sometimes doing over 135mph. Crazy I know… We would have BBQs and work on each other bikes. Here some photos.

This is only a small part of the group as some took off before the photo and I’m not in the photo because I’m taking it.

“1931”
The story about this one goes. I was driving around looking for something to shoot and I came across these people getting out their old cars. I stopped and started to look around. One guy tells me “Hey are you going to put us in a magazine or something” I thought for a moment. Maybe! I replied. Dame, everyone just jumped backed and let me do what I came to do. I thought it was funny.
Oh, I like astronomy as well and the planet motobecane site seams to consume a good bit of time :) What hobbies do you have besides cycling?
