- June 04, 2011, 08:59:43 AMJust a quick update. We're currently hanging out with our youngest son and his bride-to-be in Gulfport, Ms. So far the Drifter has performed great, averaging right around 40mpg and just chewing up the miles. I have to say that I'm somewhat dissappointed in the Corbin seat, after about 700 miles I had to stop and pick up a Saddlemen gell pad. The Corbin was killing my tailbone. I do like the backrest though. Monday morning we head for Georgia!

- May 31, 2011, 22:11:37 PMAfter 24 years, raising 2 sons that we are very proud of, we're finally taking a vacation! What better way to do it than on our "new to us" Drifter! Tomorrow morning we take off for 20 days, at least 11 states, and over 2500 miles! I can't wait! Since we got the Drifter just over a week ago I haven't had much time so I've only managed about 600 miles and it just begs for more! We roll out tomorrow morning on our adventure! Leaving from Kansas we'll head for Gulfport, Ms, where our youngest son is stationed with the Navy, spend a few days there and head for Carterville, Ga, to visit a friend of my wife, then onto the Cherohala Skyway and the Dragon. From there we'll work our way to Louisville, Ky, to hook up with an old Army buddy and work our way back to Kansas.
