Similar, mines a bit on the meaner side, it's been stripped and cleaned up. It definitely has more power than can be used on the street, last dyno pull put 121.1 horsepower at the tire

all sounds like fun. ive been thinking of getting a dirtbike, but it may be a bit late to learn, not young enough for the learning curve, and not old enough to know when i probably shouldn't try "that trick"

im big into the ocean bigtime. hence the newfound reefing hobby
i enjoy spearfishing, fishing(check the avatar...50lbs.+ amberjack), freediving, surfing, skimmboarding, mountain biking, i tinker with cars a little bit too(1971 VW superbeetle), i like to play with my dog(1 year old boxer)....tons of energy spent there, lol, i too am kind of a gamer nerd, i admit i play a little call of duty 4 on xbox 360.

but like most, i recently bought a home and a lot of my time has been spent doing projects like flooring, florida room remodel, etc., etc. its ok by me, my house is coming together and reefing is here at home so i get an escape from the daily project from time to time to get my arms wet as geoff put it.

Well the other half of my money goes to my bass boat and bass fishing. Wether localy or on trips. I like to go away somewhere different every year for about a week and fish for the local bass. Largemouth or Smallmouth mostly, haven't gotten down south for the others yet. I actually went yesterday to the Delaware River and cought a bunch of Catfish. Which would have been great if I was Catfishing and not Bass fishing,lol. I only got 1 bass, but my buddy got like 5 . It was still a great day out on the river though. The wheater was perfect.

Congrats on building the PC. Is that your first one? We will not begin to discuss how many I have built over the years.

Our home sits on 10 acres out in the middle of the woods. Our nearest neighbor is about a half mile down the road. At one time we had 20 horses on the property, a web site with all of the farm information along with sale listings, and carts and buggys that we would train them to pull. It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. The four we have now are more or less our pets.

This sounds like me in my younger days, especially when I was stationed in Hawaii in Marine Corps.

bass fishing is a ton of fun. we have a couple good lakes out here for largemouth, lake okeechobee, garcia, t.m. goodwin.

and down south in miami where im from, ive caught a few of the very sought after peacock bass. those are really cool.

For each post you want to quote, you click on the "+ button next to the quote button until you get to the last post you want. Then you click quote on that post.

The free diving trip sounds pretty cool. Pictures would be appreciated, so I am hoping the weather holds out for you to have a good time.

dirtbikings easy minus learning a clutch, ide recommend learning on a quad because a dirtbike will flip much easier.

cod4 is way better then cod5.

modern warfare 2s coming out in the fall cant wait
