I'd say it's more than just a hobby for you since you've got a business at stake. It's not just getting paid to ride that would make it more than a hobby, but riding and working on your bike (and spending as much time as me and some other do on BF) is still a hobby, just a hobby that a lot of others would not understand how much we put into it.
