    What non-audio hobbies/interests do you have?

    I spend way too much money on my cars and motorcycles. I also love to golf so time is also at a premium. I also plan on getting back into scuba diving this summer. I am in the middle of a bicycle rebuild as well and once that's done I'll have 4 bicycles in my garage as well.

    What a deal and moi with no money!

    Building a car is like owning a boat but your money doesn't float away, it burns. I have at least 30k into my one car (not including the price of the car) and I would be lucky to get 25k for it. Oh well. I have a mustang build which is rapidly closing in on 10k spent. And that's my cheap build.

    I picked up the the 550 as a parts bike. That picture is about 7 years old when I had purchased both bikes. I sold the parts bike for double what I paid plus parts used and sold off it. Not a bad score at the time. I had to store the black one due to orders to Europe so I'm getting ready to...

    It had a 10 year run in Europe and 2 year run in the US (might be giving away some hints here). The engine was de-tuned from a racier bike for touring considerations. Also had factory ABS and FI. For a mass produced bike, one of the firsts. As well as the looks are timeless. Main issue...

    Thanks Valveglow. I've wanted the 1st bike since I first saw them in college. I think I have only seen one on the road here in the US and less than a handful in Europe for the 5 years I lived there.

    Old Guy from SC, but new to Vintage Audio

    Wild hair. Decided the man cave needed some tunes. I have always wanted to get a turntable and start buying records again (last record I bought was sometime in the late 80s). Been kind of searching the web for ideas and audiokarma popped up again and again with bits of good information. So...
