I'm envious..... looking for a knucklehead myself trying to stay away from the reproduction new engines so far no luck on locating true original knucklehead complete engine....so my hobby now is searching for what I want . This money is burning a hole in my pocket !

Finding a knuckle power plant that hasn't been ripped apart & modified is gonna be a challenge , so many of them were hot rodded & converted to Knuckle-Pans or Knuckle-Shovels , then converted back to true Knuckleheads to take advantage of the collectors market , just finding a Knuckle Head power plant with matching numbers is like looking for hen's teeth lately .

I collect hifi equipment as one hobby which is the most expensive hobby i have , i also collect & ride Harley Davidson motorcycles .

Im gettin too old to ride most of them , ive got a chopped Shovelhead stroker that i haven't rode in years because its got too much compression to kick start , i think im about done riding the Panhead as well , it liked to ripped my uterous out kickin it over last season , after riding the Panhead over 40 yrs its gonna be hard to watch it sit , riding hard tails & kickers for 50 yrs beat me down .

Got a Knucklehead on the bench now that my son & i are restoring .

Im gonna be stuck riding the electric start bikes , just ordered a new seat for my Fatboy & put a new back tire on the Buell Lightning in preparation of the upcomming season .

I love to build model cars. Been building them since I was a kid. I love working by myself so no one can fuck with me. I also collect Hess Trucks, I have been collecting those since 1990..they are all at my parents house still along with my 10s of thousands of Baseball cards.

I bet my parents threw them all away. I had about 60 models too

Most of my hobbies ended up in my growroom somehow;

Lego- now, all of my components are modular and interchangeable.

Arts & Crafts- I built my own systems.

Lincoln Logs- see Lego above

Electronics- wired my op and house, about to embark on an Arduino adventure to automate my setup. (I left the main service upgrade to the professionals, know your limitations!)

Those who gave their hobbies up to grow merely suffer from a lack of imagination.

Almost forgot auto shop! I use car radiators, shrouds and fans as my air handlers.

Outside, another of these acts as a compressorless chiller.

Gimme a minute, I'm sure I'll come up with a few more hobbies that ended up in my growroom, lol

I like the Buell Lightning alot for short rides but the way its set up like a crotch rocket gets to my back pretty quick , by far its the quickest bike i own .

True story. I live in Colorado, my favorite rides are up one canyon and down another. Speed varies depending on mood and season, but I don't get a sore back hauling ass up and down those twisty roads. I'm too busy!

I will say that I hate those Prius drivers in the fast lane doing below speed limits.

And when its a dude it pisses me off even more

Ahhhhh shit- I fucking WISH!

I used to build biplanes a foot across, space stations that really rotated for artificial gravity- and my favorite; battleships! Carriers were boring to build, but I built battleships up to a full meter long, with main guns that both rotated and elevated.

Lost my Lego collection in a house fire some twenty years ago, so I upgraded to playing with the real thing. Besides, making all those fucking blocks waterproof was impossible for even my little boats- trying to lego engineer a reservoir tub would be a nonstarter!

Mindstorms tho- I still wonder about building a Lego robot trimmer...

So by modular and interchangeable you are refering to grow equipment?

I Was A Big Electronic Junkie modder. You name it. Bootlegs, built myou own rigs (pc) , reversed the PAL locks to view in NTSC, anything component based. Tech geek... I'm lightweight about it now.
