Apart from motorcycles, what pastimes occupy any spare time you may have?

Here's a clue to one of mine.....

I have a couple of guitars, a couple of pushbikes, couple of pairs of skis, used to have a couple of windsurfers and used to have a MK2 RS 2000, but I normally have to cut the fecking grass or whatever other instructions are given 😂😂

I have all my own hair, just for context 💇‍♂️

I used to shoot clays...specifically Olympic Trap. Had the chance to do it full time but meant moving to Italy at 16...not doing it is the thing I look back on with most regret. I packed in when I got married.

I’ve had shotguns since I was a kid being a farmers son but I’ve never tried clays. It’s something I’ve always fancied having a go at.
Reminds me of when Del Boy went shooting on Only Fools with a pump action, if I remember correctly.
 
Golf seems to be taking up a lot of my time at the moment, just started again after an 11 year lay off, I have more time to practice now. :)

An old hobby i once enjoyed but no longer participate in mainly due to stiffness issues, but, one i can honestly say i believe i was really rather good at...

I often scored well, even when a little under par.. Many Birdies came my way, and even a couple of holes in one, where luckily my mates were present and by my side, so they got to celebrate my achievement with me which was nice..

What a moment bending down, repairing that little entry pitch mark before slipping a couple of fingers in the hole and retrieving that precious pimpled little beauty, Such a glorious, fulfilled feeling..

Obviously, I mounted it later and put her on display afterwards, my accomplishment for all to see. How proud i was that first time, one i’d wanted for so long and at long last i finally had her.. Then surprise surprise, but a few months later i had another one, different hole but equally satisfying..

But sadly, as time went by i began to find the excursion all a little too much, my wrist and hand action were not what they were, I found before any event i had to work hard on my grip and posture, pre practice and vigorous exercise, especially on the hands. A glove helped but I found i was still exhausted during the actual event and this, i felt, was letting my partners down badly, it would mean a foursome would become a threesome mid round which is not ideal is it..

I went and saw my Pro about it, lovely lady, trust me she could do anything with a stick in her hands, mattered not one bit who stood before her, a Large man, a senior or a lady, she caned anything, her hand speed and wrist action were phenomenal a real whip and crack as she hit the target time after time again with amazing tracer like accuracy..

I think there lay a few of my issues really, my shafts we’re now far too whip ee.. My Pro suggested a stiffer option was required and that it could keep me in the game, if? i was prepared to invest some ££££, but i decided it was time to participate in a different hobby, something less strenuous, something like Golf perhaps..

It’s a real shame but, it was good while it lasted hey..

Yep, my swinging days were finally over, my fun sex life is all but gone ...
