I have the same addiction and spread it to my family..I bought Transition Ripcords for my 7 and 9 year old grandsons so they are riding full suspension bikes with us. The 5 year old is riding a 16” Hot Rock for now but has a Rissignol 20” full suspension in the waiting when he is ready. I’m riding a Stumpy carbon 29er….no e bikes in my stable and I’m 70……so…..we share the same addiction!
Thats me on the front right… I’m the riding leader of our intermediate group. Big group that night with a group of 24 following me….

Looks like a fun group. Yeah I rode for quite a while. We're all in our 60s and 70s now and ride E bikes. Health reasons put me on a E. My buddies got them because they got tired of watching me fly by on climbs. I'm looking at the end of it, but I've got a couple of years left. I got a mtn to train for racing motors. I liked them better and never looked back.

I worked for Ventana Mountain Bikes for 8 years. They taught me how to build frames. Best job I ever had.

This is a prototype Mullet I helped develop. We ended up going with a 26" rear wheel. I pushed the 27.5" rear to no avail. It was called the El Rey.

Antique and reproduction firearms, particularly flintlock muskets and longrifles. I shot them competitively for several years and volunteered as an instructor showing people how the old time muskets and rifles were loaded and used.

I collect and shoot pistols, but in our politically correct world I knew it would ruffle feathers.

Nothing incorrect about that, it is your world too.

I collect and shoot water pistols, but in our politically incorrect world I knew it would soak some feathers.

What kind of waterfowl do you go after?

Collecting Deckel FP1's (rare vintage German milling machines) My wife calls them my "shop porn".

I don't think anyone on this site would have a issue. It's to bad people on both sides of this issue ruin it for the majority of us.

I get enough points and warnings talking about bikes. Can’t imagine talking about guns. I’d get arrested!
