My other passion...

Strawdog1 · October-10-23 07:10

Love 22Lr's. My other passion are S&W 422, 2206, and 2214'S. I've had quite a few different varieties.

And...

A Janus! I want one. Here's one of mine.

Uncle_Lee · October-14-23 07:10

I put years one this 56.
We were lovers.

My S&W 422 is dead-on accurate. I'll post it as soon as I can (Nopt enough posts!) I also ride an '02 Suzuki Savage, so
I'll post that, too.

Sweet chopper Uncle_ Lee! I think I see a revolver in one hand. Are you reaching for a mini with the other?

Strawdog1 · October-14-23 14:10

The Janus Motorcycle is my first motorcycle in 40 years. So much fun!

5_shooter · October-14-23 14:10

My other bike. I'm down to two. The Janus is really cool! If my ship ever comes in I'll have one!

Yep

Minis (NAA) came out about a year later.

Mine was a 1973 Snortin' Norton (colored factory blue, when I bought it), which (sadly) I had to sell due to my vertigo issues ( I didn't want road rash at my age)

Thats one beautiful motorbike Pietro shame you gave it up .
Heck I have so dam many passions the wifes jealous for all the other folding things I collect . I have things millionaires would have a hard time finding . Someday I figure I'll have a small Vanderbilt Museum going somewhere and probably not by me . Hopefully by a grand child or further down the line .

T.Y. - and, yes, our grandchildren are our best last hope. (providing the US still exists by the time they mature

)

Pietro after all these years I've finally found out and realized PRAYER WORKS , Its incredibly functional . Only true men give thanks daily one way or another I've found and again it works if one is meaningful . A church is really not necessarily needed just devotion . Afterall it raised this Great Nation to its most powerful by devote citizens. Our roots will never die there will always be a righteous bunch in the back round . Sorry kinda off topic . By the way its one of my passions .

Beautiful bike Pietro!

Dang, you've got two S&W's that have been on my .22 short list for a long time. (not .22-short, but short list!). I would love to have a 422 or a 2206. Thanks for sharing those! (I do love my .22's, Hahaha.)

The 2206 is easily my favorite handgun. (as she sits now, after a couple mods and a set of pac's)

Gnigma · October-17-23 15:10

Seeing if I can post pictures yet. I got this two summers ago. Since then, I've opened up the intake, installed an HD muffler, rejetted the carb, added some color, and changed to flat bars. This is my 'little' bike--- 650 single. One of the most fun rides I've ever had. You can barely see my 'big' bike behind all the junk--- 2003 Moto Guzzi California 1100EV. Sciatica keeps me from riding it as much as I'd like. I also have a S&W 422. It's a tack driver!

Miss my Norton! But 22 plinkers are a passion now...

OV-1D · December-07-23 08:12

Motor bikes down here in Florida especially the bottom half and the so called Treasure Coast is a cyclists nightmare . Driving in this lower half is like driving in a pinball machine so motorcycles are a constant accident with these miserable drivers from parts unknown around the U.S. I'd swear these people have never driven a vehicle till they got here . Even driving in gangs ,for a lack of other names, is just a dangerous with multiple bikes taken down at once . All my buddies drive either very early in the morning in out of the way places or pretty much not at all . I want another bike so bad but the wifes says she loves me too much , I think its the cost really ,ha , I'm a Triumph and Janas fan myself with Norton a close third . Harley well the name costs more than most other name brands . Many years back one could ride for miles and miles without even seeing another moving object so biking back then with friends was glorious unless it was bug season . Use to spray "Pam" on our bikes to keep those dam "love bugs" from peeling the paint not allow covering our jackets . We also had these "king Bees" ground dwellers the size of quarters and they hurt like being shot at a good speed . Always keep your mouth shut during those seasons unless you into that extra protein . Ha . Also back then you must watch out in rural areas for gators warning themselves on the black tops , now those were real bumps in the road and if you wrecked you might have to fight to keep from being eaten .. I could go on and on ranting so good day you all .

I have a Norton 25 that latches onto my webbing every time I shoot it.
I have tried to drop it but it just hangs on and swings. Letting the hammer down from that position is awkward. Blood makes the grips slick.
If I hold it high enough to keep from biting me, I am holding it with just one finger and the thumb.
If I take it out to shoot, I put a band-aid on my web.

Nice plinkers copfish. This family of S&W 22's are my favorites.

How about these?

OV-1D,
Seems that riding hogs in south FL is a bit.........."interesting"

Beside consuming the "extra protien" and wrestling with 'gators,you might just spill into the drink and get bitten by some snakehead fish to boot!

I will stick to plinking with my 22s
