Ehy wait a minute!
You didn't think that maybe the Sherif was just curious about that nice and cool bike... 8)

Yes, there is always that possibility... highly unlikely but we'll give it a 1.5% chance that that was it... ;)

You gotta love that--the cop wanted to make sure you weren't 19.  That's one benefit to not wearing a full-face helmet--they can see you're "mature" without stopping ya  ;D  I'm a jar-head vet so I have US flags on both my bikes--pretty sure that's helped before when I was clocked around 15 over the limit  8)

Semper fi.... I was in, but don't have flags or anything.

My guess---The sheriff probably also wanted to hear how loud the pipes were so wanted to get real close. And yes when I turned my head "to look both ways" and he saw I was "older",  he then decided to keep going elsewhere. HA!!!!

First nice evening when I was also not working. Really enjoyed riding country roads with my Drifter. Cruising windy country roads with a lot of topography is so much fun. And easy and comfortable. The bike just fits me. At one point I went through a small town that was posted at 30. I was doing 40. The sheriff pulled up right behind me.  I saw him coming and got it down to 30 but it waa obvious he was hoping I'd mess up. At a blinking stop light he was close enough I almost could have kicked him. I made sure I came to a complete stop. I went left he went right. The people at the bar on the corner gave me a big thumbs up with giant smiles!

Man, I dig my Drifter.

When people ask me if my bike is an Indian I just point to my tank emblems......Question Answered!

That is a great looking decal and Drifter.  Did you have the decal made by a print and sign shop?  Did you have it clear coated?  Also you need to add pics of your bike in your gallery, wanted to see more pics of your bike  :(  Real nice......

Brainstorm!

When we decide to sell our precious Drifter, or pass on custody of our classic bike, we could get a War Bonnet tank decal that reads:

Indian
Tribute

That way we can be honest and still appeal to the brand conscious buyer  ;)
Hmmm, I can't get rid of the extra line between "Indian" and "Tribute"...

I had a different problem in one of the shows I entered.  They didn't know what category  to place my bike, so they put it in the full custom category.  No way can I compete with $80,000 bikes.

Well, you guys may have a Kawasaki... BUT... I have an "Indian-ish"....

Bahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I had the same problem at a show.  In the end, I won first place in the metric cruiser class, but they seemed mad at me about the whole thing.  Never went back......
