I'll start.  I'm a biker.  Mostly Japanese sportbikes.  Just sold this naked Italian one that I bobbed:

Riding and motorcycles are on about a par with my photography.

Does MM count?

If not, I'm going with pie--and other food type things for which cooking is necessary.

My main passion in life is cancer research (my day job).  I love it.  I wouldn't want to do anything else for a career.

Wow, great to see other musicians on here.  My first love was classical piano.  I now play accordion in a bossa nova band.

Wow.. Great Looking Ducati.

OK - my other hobby is martial arts.  Love the Filipino stuff - Kali, Arnis, and Escrima.  I trained in Uechi Ryu, JKD, and Ninjitsu as well.  smile

I studied escrima under Cepeda after returning from a long tour in the P.I. where I first saw dance demonstrations of it.  It's a great sport.  Been a long time since though.

Nice bike, Don!!  looks like about half of it is missing, though!  ; )

I used to be serious about motorcycles.. last one was a Honda VFR Interceptor... but alas, then I got serious about photography, started buying cameras and stuff and all my money for anything else went away... : (...

Also enjoy fitness, which I need to start doing again...  : D

Theatre, I'm a costume designer.

Pet rescue.  Currently I'm a volunteer at an exotic bird shelter, feeding, watering, and helping to rehabilitate and adopt out surrendered birds, some of which have been abused/neglected and may have physical and behavioral problems.  I have a lot of bite marks sometimes, but  I LOVE working there.

Music is my other passion. From listening at home to live shows I love music. My photography goes well with it since I take pics for most of the bands I know smile

That's my touring bike!  Had it to Boston by way of Montana, and back through Texas a couple years ago.  Only to Louisville for a model's wedding last year.

I've got the VTEC version - RED!

It's all a matter of priorities.  Make a living first, then do what's most important next.  Bikes and photography are what's most important for me.
