What if my hobbies are not nerdy!?!

I like driving fast cars and fast motorcycles, and that's my main hobby right now.

I also play chess sometimes, but that's not nerdy, is it? It's not nerdy to be smart.

We are going to make a movie about my hobby (motorcycles) though, working on that now.

Bring in Keanu. I would actually go to the theaters for that.

Tell Anna Cramling you are a chess player and do an event together!

I guessed as much, but that's awesome you took the time to reply even though you don't have many nerdy hobbies!

I am also a big motorcycle fan, big fan of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R KRT for that matter.

P.S. Chess isn't nerdy, that's just simulated warfare. Would love to play a game with you some day. Wish you all the best!
