Mine is vintage bikes.
1955 Schwinn Spitfire
1973 Schwinn Continental
1948 CWC Roadmaster
1959 Schwinn Hornet
1973 Schwinn Speedster
1946 Rollfast tall frame roadster
1941 Columbia Deluxe Motobike
And yes I ride all of them 8 to 17 miles several times a week.
Very nice collection pj! My other hobbies are camping/canoeing, reading and playing golf.
Very cool.
I like the CWC Roadmaster
When I’m not hunched over my hobby bench I like to make photographs.
Cigars. Nothing like talking models over beers and Padron 64’s.
Your allowed TWO HOBBIES??[:O]
Camping, nature and aviation photography, flight simming in VR, restoring vintage military rifles, shooting, racing when I’m near a cool track (did Nurburgring in Germany), building computers.
I write history articles for small publications like Church Bulletins and the like.
I also cook quite a bit and recently built a pizza oven.

My other hobby now is photography, and as the other post above shows, they are handy to pair with each other.
Age has caused me to give up a couple- flying and auto racing.
Too far from water for diving and too old now for motorcycles (dirt) and rockclimbing. But back in the day . . .
Now it’s firearms, writing, photography.
Oh yeah, and I collect WWII era handleless coffee mugs.
Pickin’ a guitar and watching baseball.
I barely have time to model, so no other hobbies, but there are plenty of activities and interests that I enjoy, but I wouldn’t call them hobbies.
Watching sports live + TV
Watching TV
Reading
Museums
Hiking
Traveling
Socializing with friends and neighbors
Dining out
Visiting small towns
Sight seeing
I teach Karate 3 times a week and co-own the studio. Also collect antique Fords (Model A, T, and V-8), and do WWII re-enacting. Yes, I’m retired…
Some real beauties there, Ernie. My favorite is the '55 Spitfire, just a perfect example of a classic bike of that era. Nice to see these old timers continuing on, and so well looked after.
My hobby besides models is photography and collecting cameras, mostly Rollieflexes and Leicas.
Thanks for the post and photos.

Half owner of three mining claims, claims and outings director of the local chapter of a national prospecting association. So out looking for the yellow stuff.
Used to love hunting for deer and upland bird. Not able to get one out anymore, so had to give that up.
Do a little metal detecting as well.
Astronomy, Audio recording of local concerts, Ham radio, High-end audio, Cigars, Computer gaming. Did I mention model building? [;)]
I cycle almost every day, although I consider that more of my personal fitness regimen rather than a hobby. I love hiking near my new home, but I would put myself as more of a dabbler than a hobbyist. I love snorkeling, but only get to do that when on trips to locales that offer good diving areas, preferably tropical waters. I do like to collect militaria, so I suppose that is something of a hobby. My other activity that most qualifies as a hobby is one we’re not supposed to talk about anymore here on FSM, and that is shooting: pistol, rifle, and shotgun. I did it before I was paid and trained to be proficient with those items, did so on my own time while being paid to use them as tools of the trades, and will do so now that I’m retired and there is a nice little area a few miles away out my back door. I’m looking at getting into kayaking on local waters once the last of setting up our new home has been taken care of.
I have a few.
First and formost, Bowling. Its one of my things. Been doing it since the late 70s as a kid.
Second, Motorcycles. Been riding street bikes since 1992.
Computer gaming, really just one game the last 15 years, the World of Warcraft, all the expansions although the past two years I’ve been playing the classic version mainly.
