Well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what my favorite hobby is, right? Harley Davidson motorcycles. I ride them, I fix them, I loved them. In the pic, a hundred years ago a Harley Davidson 1910 single piston engine. Capacity 494cc. Number of gears 1. Rear suspension: rigid. Ignition: Coil or magneto at buyers option. Final drive system: Direct belt. The rider: Sherbie Becker.

I'll bet that Yost is a sweet shooter, p1zz4b0x!

Ok not so strictly in keeping.

But one of my hobbies is airsofting, and I was thinking tis morning if I'm away on an airsofting trip for a few days playing a large game what would I take for shaving goodness?

My gotta

You have no idea. It shoots a lot better than I do, that is for sure. The workmanship is spectacular to say the least, and worth every penny.

To say that I'm jealous would be an understatement! I have been dreaming of a custom Yost for a long time. The photos of his work are drool-worthy. I can only imagine how nice I shoots. I'm glad you have the opportunity to own one. Enjoy!

While I love to dabble in all kinds of things, most of my free time is split between three main hobbies (all of which I enjoy pretty much equally). The first, which is obvious, is grilling -- particularly barbecuing (e.g. smoke is involved/present).

I'll reveal the other two in a couple of mid-week SOTDs...

Tabac
Dovo Black Micarta Silvertip
Tuckmar - "Best Quality" - 9/16
Thayer's Lemon
Tabac Lotion

Hobby #1: Fly Fishing. Shown are my 5 wt. White River rod, Redington CD5 reel, and one of my bass fly boxes. I tie my own and fish for trout, bass, and various panfish. You can't be picky when you live in the desert and want to go fly fishing.
