2010 Concours 14 Rider in Columbus, OH

Recommended Posts

Greetings fellow "Ohio Riders"!!!

Matt here, aka BadTrainDriver.

New member, but not to riding.

I starting riding dirt bikes at 9yrs. old, moved on to street bike riding at 16yrs. old. I took my MSF Course the summer I turned 16(had to in order to get my Motorcycle Endorsement), took the "driving" test on my neighbors 1985 Yamaha V-Max...and have never looked back!!

I've owned numerous bikes over the years:

1985 and 1999 Yamaha V-Max's

A couple CBR 600's

1995 Suzuki GSX-R 1100

1999 BMW K1200RS

1995 BMW R100GS-PD

2005 Suzuki V-Strom DL1000

And now a 2010 Kawasaki Concours 14 ABS.

I've ridden almost everywhere East of the Mississippi...and did a 50CC Iron Butt in 2000(the only "out West" riding I've ever done).

I married, I am a Locomotive Engineer for CSX Transportation(I drive Freight Trains), I love cars too...basically anything that has wheels and horsepower.

I'm searching for fellow local Ohio riders to ride with on occasion, share stories, routes, help wrench on bikes, etc...

You've got a great looking Forum...and I hope to be a contributing member.

Matt

Ok...lol...well, the horn, yea...I hate it too...I wish I never had to blow it...unfortunately it's required by Federal Law.

As far as blocking road crossing...I agree that sucks...and good Engineers rarely stop...though they might slow down...sometimes it's unavoidable though...especially long trains(8,000 plus feet). Ohio tracks date back before most roads...so roads cross tracks a lot!!!

I mainly work out of Marysville hauling AutoRacks, or Roberts Rd. hauling Intermodal TOFC(trailer on flat car).

I can tell...this is gonna be a fun Forum!!!

BTD.
