Biggest problem is work and weather, neither seem to cooperate any more.

Solved that problem about 5 years ago - gave my clubs to my youngest on his way to college - got abot 4K worth of kite boarding gear in the attic and oh there's a boat in the drive way that doesn't get used much either.

My hobby's get in each others way, I love riding the Harley, my wife loves riding in our 32 Ford 3 window coupe. After riding all three my other hobby takes off, Beer and Cigars, and I only golf at the 19th hole.

Offshore boats . Not much of a problem , just ride the bike to the Marina .
The price of bike parts and upgrades are nothing compared to boating .
As for golf , I live in a golf coarse neighborhood so I golf once a year for charity .
Year after year I just don't get the game of whackfuk .

It's real hard if you have a couple interests plus have to deal with bad weather, like NE Ohio. My golf game has suffered a bit since I got back into riding years ago. I still try to get out once a week. Riding always comes first for me now, golf is second.

Time is a constant. We all have the same amount of time. It's all a question of priorities and what is most important to you.

I ride one of the bikes everywhere I possibly can. To work, to the grocery store, etc. This helps eliminate a "riding jones". I balance the rest of the time I'm not working or sleeping between the family, furniture making, and RC model airplanes.
