- August 04, 2015, 17:25:03 PMOk, we're at Sturgis now. It's incredible to say the least. It makes Americade and Laconia look like kindergarten class...
So, along the lines of this thread, take a look at this video I took Monday, the 1st time we were going towards the main street and pay close attention to what my buddy (on his harley bagger) says to me after the one guy takes a picture of my bike (and that's after I got a thumbs up previously from a couple).
I get this type of occurrence ever where I go and enjoy every minute of it :-)

Well after looking at the pic of your sweet ride I am not surprised at all that your bike took all the praise. Harleys over there may be a rarity, but they are seen every day on TV, on magazines, etc, never see a Drifter except on rare occasions. VERY nice bike, btw. Yours too, ARalph. Very nice, Same as mine was when I got it except for the tan seat.

Even with out all that bling people will choose to oogle over these bikes.
I've got the stripped down version of yours, and I get the same thing happening.Sweet looking ride...

- July 20, 2015, 12:34:55 PMMy buddy has a full blown Harley cruiser and he's always amazed how much attention I get with my Drifter.
When we went to Laconia, every where you looked there were Harleys so his bike was just another bike but mine stood out and always got an audience.
We are heading to Sturgis in a couple weeks ... should be interesting and fun!
I love having something that is not 'the norm'. When I went to get a car, I was all set to get a 'vette until I saw a 3000GT and had no clue what it was but immediately wanted it. Funny how many people think it's some kind of Ferrari LOL!

- July 20, 2015, 12:12:35 PMWe went a lovely ride yesterday and ended up at old Laxey beach a beautiful spot on the island, we went for some lunch in the cafe and when we came back to sit on the sea wall there was an absolutely beautiful chromed up to the hilt roadking. I said to the guy are you trying to show us up. The funny part is we spent the next two hours chatting and the amount of passing people who showed more interested in our indianised drifter was amazing this guy had spent thousands on customizing it and it was beautiful but the public seemed to prefer the "indian" drifter I had to have a wry smile.
