(oh man, that so hurts, the way stupidity is celebrated here in the US in so many places and circles).When I get "Aren't motorcycles dangerous"?
I reply that "I came into this world bloody, kicking, and screaming. I probably will go out the same way."

Guy gave my ride the once over, said "real pretty....but ya know, they still make real Indians"
Me (former Gilroy Chief owner): "Yeah, but I wanted a bike that started"

- July 30, 2016, 10:36:09 AMYes GB, I've also noticed that some of the "elite H-D" (sarcasm) group doesn't wave.

- July 30, 2016, 09:27:31 AMYes, I've seen even LESS and LESS HD people wave on the road - I think Polaris has had a negative effect on the perception of OUR drifters, how ironic..... The HD'ers have their nose out of joint b/c of the new Indian presence in their previously only-HD group of 'American made' bikes, not to mention MANY HD people I know are saying the Indian is better and more affordable than the HD's --- So a lot of the HD crowd resents the Polaris Indian, and anything that looks like it---- Even though the last Drifters were made a long time before Polaris did their Indian.

A few days ago, I happened to stop with ma-deuce at a gas station, during a short ride around my town.
There was a group of harleys parked over, with some of those "nice" guys lurkin' around.
While I was filling in the gas, I eard someone of them sayin': "That's a Drifter...".
I would have been happy to know there's some h-d people being informed about non-harley's world, but the ironic tone of that phrase has left me a bad taste in the mouth...
Just sayin'...

- July 24, 2016, 23:04:20 PMNot an annoying saying, but experience, rather. I saw a bike stopped on the side of the road ahead of me, driver bent over looking at the engine area, so I slow down, getting ready to stop and offer assistance if needed. As I'm getting close I see him getting ready to go, so I start speeding up again. He takes off, lays on the Harley throttle, and screams past me in the left hand lane. *shrugs*

I had a lady look at my bike and ask if it was a harley. I said no, its a Vulcan Drifter... she looked at the graphics on my tank and said..."oh a swedish harley"... I just laughed and told her the word on the tank was Gaelic. Blank look.... ahh... war cry for Clan Campbell... she said ok... but as she walked off she told her friend... he's with an outlaw biker clan and that bike is a Swedish harley... he friend looked back at me as they picked up their pace.
I stopped at a little convenience store for fuel. A guy on a slightly customized harley pulled up next to the door about the time I went in. He looked at the Drifter and did the nice bike thing... but he identified it as a Vulcan... I complemented his bike... He pulled off his gloves and said..."I'd rather have yours any day!"... took me totally by surprise. I just smiled and wished him a safe ride.
So being a Campbell, i have to ask are you a Campbell?
