Besides working on Hodakas, what do other people here like to do ( also besides riding!)?
I’m a musician, a choir director, band teacher & I have occasionally also composed musical pieces.
I learned this piece when I was younger and my girls, who were still very young then, referred to this piece as the “Carousel Song” because it reminded them of the music heard on a carousels!
This piece is the Kuhlau Sonatina in C Major and is still a favorite of mine to play!
My primary instrument is still the Trumpet, and I play guitar & piano in church with the choir I lead!

I'm a fan of Scott Joplin Ragtime music. As for outside of bike past times, I like to just jump in the vehicle and go for a ride. See where the roads go, lots of neet things to see out there.....

I’m a big fan of the piano Victor. My daughter has been taking lessons for 11 years now and I’ve been to many recitals. It’s really cool seeing all the kids talents progress over the years. Her teacher had taken a break over the summer and she just had her first lesson Tuesday. It was pretty neat to see how excited she was when she came home with her new lesson book of Chopin.
Music of many different types has always been a passion of mine but I’m pretty challenged at trying to play anything lol. Other things I like are snowmobiling,target shooting with my pellet rifles and WW1 and 2 airplanes. I own quite a few but they are in 1/48 scale

If you get down to it I did like to water ski, we also as a family raced 1/10 and 1 / 12 scale R/C cars. Asphault, off road and carpet. We had a winter indoor season and an out door season during the warmer months. I still have all the equipment.

Well, this Winter I will start my 16the season as an Adaptive Ski Instructor! We teach people with disabilities to ski! I even have specialized training in teaching Visually Impaired to completely blind folks to ski. I can teach Slider skiing, sling with various adaptive components and also can teach ski bike, which believe it or not, a almost identical to power sliding a dirt bike around a turn!
In the Summer, it’s bikes, trout fishing in the mountains and the hiking which usually goes along with trout fishing!
