- November 20, 2013, 07:52:22 AMThat video just made me remember how odd the drifters look from the back with that floating rear fender. When I bought my bike I didn't have a license yet so my brother rode it back. It was odd seeing the saddlebags and fender and taillight moving around but not the rider. Just not what I was used to. Odd, but in a good way.
Although those streets look really smooth. If they are, I'm jealous.

- November 19, 2013, 21:38:38 PMNice video, good music. Took me a couple of minutes
to realize your on the wrong side of the road, but then again your
also on the other side of the planet. Would love to get down
there one day. And there is nothing wrong with a bit of self indulgence
once in a while.

- November 15, 2013, 14:28:59 PMPretty much the last time I had the Drifter out, I put about 50 miles on it. That was last weekend. The weather here is getting uglier every day. I changed the oil in the W today, and because it's 55 deg. now, I had to go and take a ride. I almost didn't take a camera, but you guys swear it didn't happen if there's no pictures. I have the front fender off the Drifter for a little more paint work.....They are promising rain tomorrow, rain on Sunday, and possibly snow on Monday...

- November 15, 2013, 09:40:51 AMWell, yesterday I drove the cage for the first time since May. It was kinda weird! I was moving, but there was no wind! Had to open the window to feel at home! Wife wouldn't let me take out the T-tops though......

- November 12, 2013, 18:50:47 PMWe had about 2 inches and still have most of it. It was 18F this morning, a bit CHILLY. Barring an Indian summer, I'm done - of course now there's salt and brine all over the road.

- November 12, 2013, 16:35:37 PMWe had an inch if snow this morning, but it melted right off by noon. Went riding to the store in the afternoon and on the ride home there were a few flakes falling. Getting chilly too!

- November 11, 2013, 10:05:40 AMNo riding in these parts going on for me . With the cold weather hanging around as well as wind just no fun to ride . I ride more for enjoyment then transportation reasons . To me riding with sub zero gear is meant for woods riding , now that's fun One of these days when time allows I'll get my last ride in though picking the scoot up from the shop to give her the winter cleaning and added mods ideas 
For all those still riding enjoy and be safe .

- November 11, 2013, 09:52:32 AMI've gotten a few rides in lately. It snowed the other day and the weather people were talking like it wasn't going to warm back up. Had one day that would have been nice except for the wind. It was blowing 34 mph gusting 50 mph. It's always windy here, especially during storms where it can gust over 70 mph, but that was pretty crazy for a warmer sunny day. Now they're calling for it to get colder and stay that way. See if they're correct this time.

- November 10, 2013, 05:12:49 AMWell, I probably got the last decent ride in yesterday. It got up to 60F, so the wife and I headed out for the afternoon. The weather guesser is calling for up to 1/4" of snow Tuesday.

- November 09, 2013, 22:08:49 PMTroll, that's a great pic with the bridge- I like it.
It was chilly here today, I think it got as warm as 54, but really windy. I had too many chores to do, and had to get them done so I could go this evening to see Dad in the hospital. When I was in town for a couple things, (in the truck) I saw about 20 bikes, though, gathered at the restaurant- they were just leaving when I pulled through. I was told at the hardware store that there were about 70 just before that. COLD day for a ride like that with that much wind.....
I hate seeing that white stuff in those pics.... Just keep it up there for a few more weeks if you don't mind! It's supposed to get in the teens (F) next week. bah humbug.
