I have a 1st dan black belt in Shotokan karate although I have not been to a class in about 5 years.. Used to teach classes but had to get out because the kids came along. I'm planning on going back soon enough... What style do you practice noise ??

Done the off road thing, i took a 61 S2 landy and turned it into a v8, full auto, power steered pot hunter. Trouble was i was great at building the winning kit. Just couldnt drive for shit. I ended up pit crew on my own truck.

Dont get me wrong i could get anywhere it wasn't the terrain i just could never judge the soddin canes well enough.

Just have my bikes and barely have time for them.

Have a couple of now, very dusty rc helicopters too.

The style i do is Doryoku Ryu Karate Jutsu, which i a slight mish mash of Godu and shotokan. Its all old Okinawa mumbo jumbo but its funny when you get the pissed up polish run into the class picking fights with our sensei, she is only 5ft 4 but has a hell of a kick and punch and um she is rather tasty to watch too :P

Jealous me........Enjoy it for as long as you can Beef

I stopped playing at 45 having started at 12. I played back row and enjoyed the physical side immensely. Eventually tho' my legs gave up and the hammies were getting taped up every week. I ended up spending more time on the physios table than on the pitch

You lucky sod, my sensie was a 5'10" wide animal who enjoyed making you suffer. Our chief instructor is a guy called dave hazzard, he was the England kata coach for a spell. Have you heard of him? O I remember the days when you'd get a noob in who thought he was the business........ they usually didn't come back after 1 class. :hah:

I really mean to learn the guitar this year (mind you I have said that every year for the last few decades). A little web stuff. Going to the pictures. I fancy a couple more camping rally's this year. I need another bike project; bobber or 2 stroker I think. I would like a classic car but that will wait a couple of years.

And And finally looking after my partner/girlfriend/significant other lady person.

Na never heard of him, i will have to see if i can google him. Yer i have a Sensei that dose our grading who keeps us in sumo stance for about 5 mins just for a warm up followed by kicks and bunki. I managed to clop a tramp in the head with a well placed hook kick as he ran towards me with a rucksack one night, he had already taken out two white belts then he was running towards me and i terminated his ego.

I was thinking about getting into Aikido but i would have had to travel stupid miles just to do it so found a local karate dojo instead

When i get some spare time away from work i tend to just work on my portfolio/showreel. Generally taking CAD pictures like the one above and making 3D models of them, this is my most recent one in progress:

Wanting to get into racing enduros or rallies at some point too, need another dirt bike first!

Very nice Ryan.

I used to do a little CAD work. I did do some bike stuff for play. All I can find at the moment is an unfinished SLR650 that I used to own.

I did plan to do some popular bikes and sell them in large format but haven't got around to that yet.
