Like mxslick I am into motocross and like MVP drag racing.
I use to race MX a few years back and have ridden since about age 7. I still have a 250 MX bike, but alas, no street bike anymore.
There are tracks near me and I would also like to get back into racing, even at 40. MXslick, maybe I'll see you in the "old man" class.

I also have a '70 Nova drag car. I don't get much time to race these days and I'd love to build a street car and put all the goodies into that from the race car, including the 13:1 355 small block.

I still play ice hockey once in a while and played all through HS. We have a rink right in town so it is easy to get out and skate.

I am also a fishing junkie. I fish several tournaments a year and go out whenever possible. I am about 3 minutes from the Hudson River and have streams and reservoirs all around me. It is much easier to run off with the boat and fish a few hours than to get out for the whole day to go racing.


As far as watching, mostly motorsports and some hockey, but NO nascar. I HATE nascar!!
I will sit and watch MX, SX, drag racing, rally cars and especially F1.

I am not really a ball sports kind of guy.

You should become an electrician.

As for sports baseball tv and football on tv. (the good football not the one they play in the rest of the world )

As for playing sports I run 4-8 miles 5 times a week. I try to run a road race or two every week as well.

We are boaters. My wife (and favorite builder) likes to go out in the boat when she gets home. It is better than TV.
I keep myself busy during the day with all the cool stuff she brings home. It's amazing what they throw away.
Like Johnny Cash said I am building my house "one piece at a time" ;-)

I'm a racer and jockey;I race to the d/r table and jockey for position.

We also play 'Mind Over Matter'
She don't mind,
- and I don't matter!

ElectricmanScott,
I thought for a second you were talking about Rugby, but then I realised you were in-fact talking about Soccer.
The English talk about Soccer as Football, as do a few other European countries.
Rugby is a bit of a sore point to the English at the moment, considering that the Lions Team is without a win against the All Blacks here in New Zealand at the moment.
The mid-week team however, has an un-blemished record, 6 wins from 6 games.
Good to see the under-studies holding up the pride of Mother England.
However, here is my brand of Wicket-keeping Gloves:



You wear these with a pair of cotton inner gloves.

Mike. We can take losing a game, mate! Just try invading us and see what happens!!
