This was the first footage I had of my bike form the rear. I need to get a close up so when I get the chance I will mount a camera on the side looking back at the fender to get some footage. Everyone tells me my my is strange to follow at first. It freaks some people out.

My brother had to ride back on it before it had a windshield, so with the amount of bugs he ate I couldn't give him too hard of a time about his HD preference.

   My Brother in law was always talking about how much the rear fender on my 800 moves up and down, well near the end of the summer I finally let him ride it, we swapped bikes....HOLY COW it does move a lot...lol...funny to watch it go......but he did not look as cool on it as I do so told him he has to develop the cool look and not to wear orange and black on my ride....

That 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.

Nice 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.

A Long and Winding Road

At peace with the world
Just Drifting along.
Today I ride, tomorrow I work.

Pretty 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...

Well, 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...... 8)

We 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.

We 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!

No 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 .
