For example, I play the drums and tend to think of myself as a drummer. Do you love games, consider yourself a gamer? Are you a chef, a bodybuilder, maybe an artist? What is it that you love to do?

I love to ride and rebuild motorcycles. It's so satisfying getting a crusty old bike and making it a reliable machine again.

It does influence how I think of myself. I'm proud of being able to disassemble and reassemble an entire motorcycle.

It's an amazing feeling going down the highway on two wheels, knowing that the machine underneath me used to be a pile of parts in boxes.

The Zen and art of motorcycle maintenance.

I totally get this one, my dad had a motorcycle shop before he retired. I've heard a lot about working on motorcycles growing up, it sounds really rewarding.

I need to get a bike again, I miss riding. Way more fun than driving a car!
