8) Pilgrim, if I remember correctly between you and GreenBarn you had enough for a kitchen sink in Maggie Valley. Ok so :

Aimee, due to arthritis and back issues when I travel I do the motel camping shtick, and yes I pack comfortable, after having my full face helmet stolen off the bike in Maryland, for which I have unfriended the entire state. I found this fantastic sissy bar pack, and I have my sidewinder saddlebags for trips. I carry a 1 gal gas can in my saddle bags, just in case. I also have 2 fuel cells in the side of my seat for an extra 60 oz of fuel. I also carry my full face helmet because I am a candy ass and do not like to ride all day in the rain and not be protected. I also pack my rain gear for the same reason. I can carry more than enough to be on the road for 30 days and be comfortable.  First two pics are of the new sissy bar pack and my saddle bags then the third is the fuel cell.
Amiee be ready for the people that just want to mess with us good people....lol.......

Ratman will show you how to pack an 800 with a months worth of supplies..
He has traveled many miles on his 800.

Lol awesome! I look forward to his tips and tricks. This will be my first weekend camping trip so I got 1 big dry bag for most of my stuff. If I was going to try to fit it on the drifter I would probably have to individually bag the gear and strap it here, there, and everywhere lol. Right now the bags on the drifter are smaller than the ones on my 250 and I can't utilize the fender the way it is. So unfortunately I have to stick with the 250 for this trip.

That litlle Drifter looks good..has all the right stuff on it. You will enjoy it. Welcome to forum.

Thanks, it has everything I could possibly want except for a luggage rack of some sort. I'll eventually have to figure larger storage for camping trips but for now I still have my 250 with just enough storage for my trip that's coming up.

Great thanks, I'll look into it. Not sure what I'll be able to pull off this year but I definitely have lots of trips to plan next year.

Oh and the ride, are you kidding me?!? I only got to try it a bit in the parking lot, because these short legs of mine need the seat to be shaved a bit and despite that.....hello heaven!

My husband found a beautiful 2005 Drifter 800 for me for mother's day

I'm Aimee from Raymond, NH USA
The more I scroll through this community and posts the more I am falling in love with this motorcycle. I also ride a 2012 Hyosung GV250 that is just too fun to ever get rid of. Lol
Sorry but I haven't figured out adding photos yet but as soon as I do I will post some.

Yes, it is a great motorcycle and incredibly enjoyable. I have had mine a little over a year and it is one of the best "gifts" I have ever given. It is one of those things where you feel so good riding this motorcycle that you ask yourself: What price can I put on this joy?"

Awesome. Thanks! I think my husband likes me a little bit. Lol I guess I'll keep him around, working for a dealer he finds the best for me <3 I'm sure it will be extra exciting this year when I ride with his Indian motorcycle riders group to the Indian come home day in springfield, MA lol

Congratulations on that beautiful gift! You and your hubby on an Indian and a Drifter will be a sight for many to see and smile about. 2beers and I both have 800's, and we love them a lot!
I also ride a Honda Shadow Aero 750, and though she's pretty, she doesn't get the same attention as my Drifter. Enjoy and be safe!

Oh I'm sure there will be lots more attention. Especially riding around with my husband and his 2014 Indian chief. I'm sure there will be plenty of double takes lol
