I like a good rag chew.time .Other hobbies include motorcycling as in trikes home brewed and I have built 8 to date shaft driven motorcycles and some from automobile engines. my present trike is a  vw 1600 cc beetle 1972. Also I am still doing disc jockey roadshows since 1976 but today I only do weddings, and birthdays where most of the music is 60,70,80, and lots of country. I also collect old records which I have loads of 50's60's and 70's. I do a lot of gardening,fruits and vegetables and also lots of DIY. I like snooker as far as sports goes.
