I was sitting at a picnic table about 3 ft from the road way and about 4 ft from my bike. A pair of gentleman in their prime of life about the mid fifties and such were walking past, commenting on the bikes, when the one stopped and nudge his friend and said finally an old style Indian. I was just getting ready to make a comment when he started to pontificate on the virtues of the legendary Indian Motocycle, and how it ruled the world of bikes till its death as he said it. He was pointing things out that were not correct on my "Indian" that ruined the true value of it being an Indian. He then pointed out that even the tank badges were incorrect, then on closer examination he saw that they said Kawasaki....well to say he lost it would be funny and an understatement. He then proceeded to tear me a new one about lying to people and claiming to have an Indian. He and his pal left in a huge huff.
  Another group of people had been witness to the exchange, and the one of the older guys came over and told me that mine was the nicest Drifter he has seen in a long time and was was really happy to see it was alive and well still. I did get a lot of nice comments and compliments on the Drifter.

If I can i'll see what we can do about getting you the Norton, just thought you might be interested in the trike.....

I've never been too big on yellow, but I'll take the Norton, if you're giving it away...I can always have it repainted in JPS livery...

Now my buddy Wayne who lives up there and has a 1500 Drifter, said on Sat night there was oh 3 or 4 other Drifters up there, but today I could not see or find any. So they must have left, but they had told Wayne they would contact him for getting together. The Freedom Ride was once more very well attended and the 110 km route was a nice ride, loads of people in support. The ride home was dark and it started to drizzle about 45 mins. out of town, and about 15 mins out of town it rain and it did make you pay attention to your riding.

Left this morning 0700 to go to the Biker Reunion, weather was cool and damp, overcast day, forecast was calling for showers all day. Did see a black bear and a couple of moose along the route up, was a really nice 2 hour ride up. Seemed the actual numbers were down, part in due to the weather and that it was not a true long weekend for a lot of people and so a lot of folks left this morning heading home. I did get to see the lady fired out of the cannon, so that was something. There was a vast array of bikes from one street legal Enduro bike to all types of road cruisers.
