I've always wondered why DC's team is the Redskins and not the Greenbacks.

Motorcycles are my primary hobby but I do have a few others.

Video/PC games if you can count that as a hobby (I play a lot of World of Warcraft)

Ham Radio (dont do too much of this, talking to the same group of locals over and over again gets old)

Wrenching on old VWs (currently VWless but may get another one in the near future)

Fencing (haven't done this in awhile, but still have all my fencing gear)

Martial Arts (have a green belt in Ninjutsu but had to get out of it for financial reasons a few years back)

The Redskins originally started out in Boston, iirc, and got traded to DC back in like the late 30s or something.

And I don't think any DC team would be called the "Greenbacks", you mostly see names like Nationals, Capitals, Senators, etc.

Might be able to get away with Sleezeball Congressmen though.

guitar, firearms (though that's also my job), hunting, fishing, photography (newest hobby), I love to run, jumping out of perfectly good aircraft is also pretty fun.

could you photoshop a pic of my bike to 1 all red and 1 all black?

I also like image manipulation although I'm not that great at it. My choice app is GIMP instead of photoshop as it's free and open source (yay!).

So here is my attempt at making your bike black. Some of the colors and some of the reflections didn't come out quite right but I tried

Well it seems that I have more hobbies than I have time and money for, but each one takes its place at the head of the line from time to time.

Here's the list besides motorcycles:

Play guitar and bass semi-pro.

Long time target shooter and new Cowboy Action Shooter.

Have a ski boat that replaced my desire for a bike for a while; now it hasn't seen the water in a couple of years.

Ham radio and photography at times.

Have a home recording studio and never have time to play with it.

- Mountain bike

+1 to that. Sometimes it's liberating to use your own power to move your two wheels.

I have put WAY more money into my mountain bike than my motorcycle.
