Those old Indians look great, but sometimes it is better to admire someone else's bike than to actually own one..

The drifter is a copy of the Indian, but in my opinion it is a better bike than the original, I've ridden through deep mud, across steep mountain passes, through pouring rain, spent a couple of hours at walking pace in funeral processions in hot sun, ridden highways and pathways and all I have to do is wash it down, check the oil, coolant and tire pressures and it is ready to ride another thousand miles..

I love to see the old bikes, I just don't want to own one..

John.

Better keep yours...   mine would make too small a fire.  Like I said, if I had the money, I'd have bought an old Indian.

Turns out, I think I'm better off with a Drifter.   But I WOULD still like to have an old Indian...    Maybe if you leave me in your will, Ratman...

Wow, Moose, that's really cool.  That's what I was looking for before I found the Drifter.  Just a lot more than I wanted to spend.  That's really cool.

  The Timmins ride this year is out, and it is like a 4 day event, but next summer the Kingston ride might be a fun thing to do, I am sure I can get my Brother in Law to join us too. That is just a day down the ride and a day home again for me. Something to consider.

We have 14 rides in Ontario this year, including one "near" you in Timmins next month. Would love if you came down for either the Kingston or Ottawa run. This is a really great cause and there are events all over North America.
