Well I'm a Bimmer bike fan too, though more on the older R bikes. Got 2 R90's and an R90S. I know also that Mike Arman is a BMW guy, he has a pair of older R bikes, along with a Munch Mammut and a Herculese Rotary. I also am into Yamaha RZ-350s, got 3 of them, ones a race bike.
And moving further off topic is I'm really into model trains. I do alot of after hours work for MTH (Mikes Train House, Lionel competitor and recently has way surpassed Lionel), and have a ton of trains. All of mine are O-scale for the others out there that may be into it too.
Now for the most off topic one of my hobbies that I seriously doubt any other listers are aware exists is model warship combat. I build a 1/144 scale model of a WWI or WWII warship, give it remote control, CO2 tank(s), and CO2 powered BB guns. The outer skin is balsa wood so the BBs can easily break through. About once every 2 months me and 10-20 other captains get together at a lake and have a war. If you get shot too much your boat _WILL_ sink. Everything is waterproof inside, so after draining the water out and patching the holes you're back on the water in about 20 minutes. See http://www.mwci.org which is the website of the particular club I belong to. There are about 10 other clubs too, some of which operate much larger 1/92 and 1/76 scale boats, which can be nearly 20ft long and shoot 25mm ball bearings.
