Ride cross country easy rider style. I live in Pa and have been up to candada and down to florida on the bike. Rode out to minnesota a couple of times. I would like however to head west maybe hit some of route 66 that is left. If I had the time I would like to do it on my 50cc moped. Sure anyone can ride a 1000+cc bike cross country no challenge there.   ;D

I've rappelled, am scuba qualified, and mountain climbed.   However, I have no desire to trust my life to a giant rubber band or to leave an airplane in perfectly good working order.  I would love to pilot a hot air balloon though some day.

I'd like to be a quality control consultant in a cathouse, but I don't think my wife would approve... >:D

I would love to jump out of an airplane again, but the idea of going up real high in a hot air balloon (without a parachute) scares the sh*t out of me.

I have been riding street bikes since '01, and man I have took an interest in those Trike ultralight planes in the last few years. Looks like it could be fun.

I'm not sure if you guys would call this crazy or not. but Ive often thought about saving up around 10-15 grand and just getting in my truck and driving.  When i get tired of driving (not sleepy tired) just set up wherever i end up and start 100% new.  My mom is what stops me  all of her children have moved far away and im the only one left that can come see her daily

New_Shine, I hear ya! That has always been a dream of mine.  I'm married with a family and that's what stops me.

I've been riding motorcycles for 22 years (Virago, V-Max, and currently a Vulcan) and I've also jumped from a perfectly good airplane 5 times in the military with a static line.

If you decide to jump, I'd recommend the static line scenario.  Even my 53 year old sister-in-law has done that about 10 times.

I've done just about everything else I've wanted to do except build a business to the point of being able to support me and my wife. I'm still working on that, and these days that's a pretty crazy thing to want to do.

I'd like to get back to flying. I'd want to buy my own plane. Rentals are getting ridiculous price-wise. 8)

I would love to go skydiving, hang gliding and bungee jump off that bridge in WV I read about! lol

I guess I'm a closet adrenalin junkie. :D

The New River Gorge bridge is nuts.  They have an event there every year called Bridge Days or something like that.  It's basically a huge gathering of base and bungee jumpers who jump off the bridge.  Such a cool place to visit, though.
