Troll: So 800s are represented.....1,389 miles over 5 days averaging 50.9 mpg overall...and ditto on the food! If you get a chance, send me a pm so I can get that photo you took of me with my bike...if it came out.

Anyone get a link from Terry from ROK?....Looked on facebook and didn't see many photos of the Drift-in 2014....???

Patience---- she will get them up as soon as she can.... there were LOTS and LOTs of pictures taken  :o 8)

As of 5 hours ago Teri's status--- "Check out the post I just made to the ‪#‎RiderofKawasaki‬ Facebook page. Still editing photos but they'll be up soon!"

GB, Troll, KW, DC...good to hear. I don't think anyone had any major issues from their Drifters all week. Didn't see anyone working on theirs except when Troll did some troubleshooting and found a wire going to Chiefs fan that had grounded out and blew a fuse. Minor repair.  ;D
I plan on riding back to Maggie Labor Day weekend with some friends...only 3 hrs from my house...anyone want to join us?

DC - Recognized your bike once home and on-line again. I make it a habit not to be connected during my free time adventures. I thought GB mentioned looking for you when we first got there....so same for me....sorry for not connecting, but agree with all your comments. Nice after hours shots....like the parked bikes in a row.

Same here.  I wasn't connected.  Didn't really have any time to check message boards or emails.  The wife I took with me wanted to keep checking out stores most of the time in the surrounding towns.

Well, maybe at the next Drift-in, if I can make it.

Marc, like we discussed, another option for those covers is a lug nut cover for semi wheels - that is IF you want something more "blingy" than the black rubber.  There are lots of variations - either the plain-jane-ordinary type or there are several options available.  Google "semi chrome lug  covers" or something, and you can see quite a few.  If I remember, the measurements on the bike are about 1 1/4", but that needs verified.

GB - Your obligatory fender shot....nice!
Troll - Found the rubber passenger foot peg "caps" for the 800 on-line and have already ordered same from www.kawasakipartshouse.com under "frame fittings." Just finding out about that missing part on my machine was worth the price of admission to the Drift-In.
Glad everyone made it home safe....ride on.

Great to meet Troll, greenbarn, and Pilgrim at the Drift-in.  If I missed anyone else from the board, sorry I don't know your screen name or we didn't connect.

Here's a few shots.

Yep, I made it home about 17:15 EST, after leaving at 07:30 EST (the 06:30 was Troll's CST).  About 480 miles today.  After the rain through Lexington, it cleared up about halfway to Cincinnati, and it was dry (but overcast) the rest of the trip.  Glad to be home.  Hope everyone else makes it with no issues.

I haven't downloaded and sorted all my pics yet,  but here's an obligatory "FENDERS" shot....
