The transporter called and it looks like it will be here tomorrow afternoon. I'm excited but already let down...
He informed me the first order of business is to deal with a fuel leak that the seller did not bother to disclose until it was on the way into the trailer. Supposedly it is the line between the throttle body and tank and it has a crack in it. I suspect the hose is a victim of 10% ethanol in the gas.
I will keep you guys posted.

Now see......you're doing it right!
You haven't even got the bike yet, but you've got a pic up! .....and she's a looker too!
You go ahead and ask questions. We love them! And I'll tell you what......you probably won't find any group that's more knowledgable about these rare bikes anywhere!

- June 03, 2015, 08:04:35 AMHi all,
I'm a new owner as of last week and will have my 2001 Drifter 1500 in the next day or two. I bought it from a guy in MS and it is currently on the transport on the way here. I'm looking forward to get back into riding after a three year absence.
I've owned a few bikes from different categories over the last 25 years. I've had a 600 CC "Crotch Rocket", Heritage Soft Tail Classic, V-Rod, and a Suzuki V-Strom. The style of this bike is what appeals to me. I know that when I park it there won't be another one like it in the lot.
The bike already has a windshield and pipes but I will need to find the right set of bags for it. Hopefully I don't drive you all to crazy with questions.
