OUT OF OFFICE
Brian Dowers of
Fountain Trust
Company is an
enthusiastic
long-distance
motorcyclist.
Brian Dowers
Banker on wheels
Since 2009, senior vice president and chief operations officer
of $700 million-asset Fountain Trust Company in Covington, Ind.,
has made several long-distance motorcycling trips across the U.S.
[Bank president Lucas White and
I] have been all over the country
on our motorcycles and even
into Canada ... I purchased my first
motorcycle in 2008 when my first
child was about to go to college. I
decided that was the right time of life
to start something new ... a year later
I started traveling with [my son] on
trips across the country.
Each trip has its special things.
The ride to Canada, taking our
motorcycles up on the ferry out
to Prince Edward Island, being
able to ride the island and take
the bridge back to the mainland.
I mean, those are just things you
wouldn't normally do. It's an
unusual trip, but it's those most
memorable parts of it.
I have done what they call the Iron
Butt. That's where you do 1,000 miles
in 24 hours ... The Iron Butt Association
is long-distance motorcycle riders
and they have different challenges ...
1,000 miles in 24 hours was fun, but
that's a lot. We decided that enjoying
the ride was more important than just
pounding miles out.
The best advice is take a safety
course. If you think you have any
interest in it at all, sign up for a safety
course, go through that course and see
in the time that you're going through
that if it appeals to you. You'll know
just in that initial course if it's for you
or not. If there's any hesitation, you
shouldn't do it. Safety on a motorcycle
is different than safety in a car.
