Been into street bikes since I was 14, reviving old cars. It seems that when its all done I get board and sell it to buy another POS and start all over again. Also into RVing and off-road.

What model of Triumph? Love Triumph's! My next door neighbor has about 8 of them. 4 GT6's and 4 Spitfires, 2 nice runners, one of each model and 4 restos.

I love horses too. My dad owned thoroughbreds back in the 70's. I would fly down to Bay Meadows with my dad to watch the races. Great times back then. Not much of a rider though, had an Arabian quarter horse try to kill me by running under a low branch of a giant oak. For sure it really would have killed me if I hadn't ducked in time.
It was a TR7 (just sold it) with 56,000 mi. really nice shape. We have Friesians and Tennessee Walkers. We started out with Arabians but riding them hurt my back too much. That's why we went to Walkers.

Oh, so many irons in the fire! RC models of all kinds, building hot rods and dune buggies, restoration/remodeling on our current 100 year old house, building monster snow-blowers, collecting Ruger guns. But, probably my primary hobby is collecting, maintaining, repairing, modifying and building recumbent trikes. I specialize in collecting the oldest commercially made trikes, the MASA Slingshot. I have three of them now, one (first pic) being 100% complete and in excellent condition (very rare, indeed, almost like the holy grail!). I also modified a Catrike Speed to be the lightest tadpole trike anybody has come up with yet at 24lbs (second pic). I now have 11 trikes, and six bikes (human powered!). Half of them have historical value.
