OK INFI lovers. What kinds of other hobbies are you into? Gadget collecting? Do you have more flashlights than most people deem resonable? What brands? Watches? Is that your game?
I have flashlights all over. Couple in each car. I'm getting quite the Zippo collection as well. But not on purpose. :D
So what gadgets are you into and why? What do you use them for? Is it optimising that PSK, bug out bag or bug out vehicle?
I also play guitar in a band. Anyone else play an insturment?
Pull up a stool and chime in. :D
 
Guns and Motorcycles are the primary cash drain at this house.

I love old martial bolt actions (Mauser, Springfield, Krag, etc.), and quality hunting pieces (Mannlicher-Schoenauer is the current top-dog). Lately, I've been introduced to 3 gun action shooting and ICORE. At this rate, I am going to have to start reloading again.

Motorcycle-wise, I own five road bikes, all from Italy:

'94 Ducati Elefant
'93 Moto Guzzi SPIII
'87 Moto Guzzi LeMans 1000 SE
'84 Benelli Sei 900
'80 Laverda Mirage TS

I don't get to ride as much as I wish I could, but when I go, the roads out here are spectacular. Stanley to Challis. Lolo Pass. If you ride, you need to visit the Rockies.

Oh you would love to come to AIM surplus. Lots of C&R stuff. You might also think about making a trip to Knob Creek. It's a machine gun shoot but Cole's Distributing always has a tent full of goodies. We do a bit of shooting with some of the older rifles. K98's, Mauser, Enfield, and so on. Two of my friends collect Enfield snipers. Great shooting history.
 
Blaser M93; rifle or pistol 50 bmg in a couple of models and custom 45s and Busse knifes 20-30 or so in hand

wow, we would get along great. i have a 1975 bmw r90s. i was supposed to get my friends 81 ducati supersport a few years ago, but he changed his mind. kinda glad though, b/c vintage italian bikes are BIG bucks to repair. i knew a guy here who has a repair shop and the logo on his tshirts are a bag of money. i know my dellorto carbs are great when they work, but when they need work, it isnt fun, or cheap.

Do doubt I'd love Knob Creek. Problems with location prevent enjoyment.

I don't really collect much else these days. I have a good sized comic book collection from my youth, but I do not actively collect any more. I like flash lights, but thankfully I have not gotten crazy with that one. Heck, I haven'y even bought any guns in a while. Darn knives are getting me in a rut. :D
 
Great Post and also I don't want Fixer27 to win Jerry's contest with his trolling behavior. Come on everyone join in and ignore Fixer27's post.

:D:D
