Hello everyone!
My name is Taylor, I'm 24 years old and becoming an Ohio resident soon. I'm currently attending Ferris State University in Michigan for Welding Engineering, I'm currently a Junior in the program and expect to graduate spring of 2017. Because I am a student, my state of residence is wherever my parents reside, and my parents moved to Dayton, Ohio in October. Previously we had lived in Appleton, Wisconsin.
Most of my time this summer will be spent working for a small company in Dayton called PDSI (Production Design Services Inc.). While I will only be an intern for the summer (hoping for a long term opportunity after graduation), I will be their only Welding Engineer, so I expect to stay fairly busy.
When not busy at work I intend to explore as much of Ohio, Indiana and hopefully Kentucky as possible from the seat of my 2008 Ninja 650r. This is a relatively new bike for me, I got it in June of last year. Previously I was riding a Honda vtx 1300. While the VTX was nice for riding around in the countryside, I hated riding it through town and on the highway. In the roughly month and a half I had last summer to ride my Ninja, I rode 7,000 miles. Some of it was just riding around town, most of it was exploring north eastern Wisconsin and Michigan.
One of my other favorite hobbies is shooting my guns. I don't hunt or anything, I just enjoy the sport of hitting my intended target (usually hardened steel plates or clay pigeons). My collection is very diverse and I don't find myself loyal to any one brand or type of firearm. Lately I've been enjoying shooting clay pigeons with my 12 gauge Remington 11-48. I also enjoy shooting my 66% scale IPSC silhouette steel target from 200 to 300 yards with my iron sights on my ar15(although I do have optics I use for close range fun). This weekend I am attending a course for my conceal carry license(I previously had a Wisconsin CCW license). I'm just struggling to choose between my Glock and 1911 for the range portion of it! I'm sure this is an interest that I share with many of you, and I would love to discuss it with you and go shoot sometime!
I joined this forum to meet people that share my love for riding. I don't often ride with others, as I am a pretty mellow rider, but I love getting together with a group of close friends and taking off for a day or two. I would love to get together sometime and ride with you guys!
I look forward to getting to know some of you and this state!
