Comments by "" (@michaelformaini7053) on "RACING a TRAIN on my motorcycle!" video.

  1. Mike, with this video you made me feel half my age (errr, about your current age, I think). I spent a day around Boston Bar and North Bend with my good Canadian friend Kevin way back in 1989, photographing freight trains from both CN and CP. The Anderson Creek Trestle was one of my favourite spots and we managed to get two freights running parallel on opposite sides of the Fraser. We got there by car but back then I rode a motorcycle here in Australia (a Honda 750 4 cylinder touring machine). While I no longer ride (although still have a motorcycle endorsement on my license), I feel the same euphoria as you when on the open road touring my own country. I used to do a lot of motorcading of trains out of Melbourne but not so much now as, unfortunately, there are nuts out there that don't have the same regard for safety (both road and near the railway) as you and me. I'm really glad you made those safety comments about proximity to the rail line in your comments. Quite by coincidence the previous YouTube Clip I watched to this was Comeng998's coverage of a steam train trip from Melbourne to Warrnambool and return Saturday last (29th October). The weather was atrocious most of the day but Adrian (Comeng's real first name) captured the atmosphere really well. I recommend you view it sometime soon if you can spare the time. Simply type in YouTube Comeng998 and select the video from the list. Goes for about 34-35mins. Looking forward to YOUR next week's offering. Cheers from Michael in Melbourne.🙂
