- November 16, 2012, 08:55:31 AMDragged home on a trailer, in the rain. Non running and covered with an interesting film that can only grow in a barn..August of 2009. My wife's first remark: "You're not going to paint that". I guess she likes the colors, I do, too. Stripped down cleaned up, (cost me $20 at the do it yourself car wash) rebuild the trans, and various other little (read expensive) details, and now....32,000 miles later. Getting pretty close to what I want.

- November 15, 2012, 19:36:49 PMThis is Nadine, the day I brought her home.......(click on the pics to enlarge)
My wife found her on Craigslist back in '08 and insisted we go pick her up. 24 hours later a 2001 Drifter 1500 was in our garage. (Funny now, because she calls her "The Other Woman", along with one of my guitars, Lucille)
A couple of days later I swapped the solo seat out for the 2up that came with it and shot a few more pics.....
Then the customizing began....I tried some different saddlebags (didn't like them) and added some Zambini Bros. emblems......
Then came the tour pack I found on Craigslist for $80......
Since then, lots of little mods, a bunch of leatherwork (mostly my own), and the constant battle between the good looks of the solo seat and the awesome user friendliness of the tour pack......

- November 15, 2012, 19:13:18 PMThought it might be interesting to see how everybody's Drifter looked when you first got it?... Does it have a name?... How did you get it?... How long have you've had it?... What have you done to it since?
This is "Evelyn" She's a '99 1500, We met on an on line Web Site (EBay) We've been together since March of 2009, I've tried to give her all the things a beautiful girl wants and needs.
She's named after my Mother... Which I had painted on the tail. While on a ride one time a woman asked... "Is that your wife's name?" My wife was standing there and said... "Oh No! That's his Mother's name, She's always had his back... I've just been on his tail since we met!" LQTM
