Ok, so I've had my 800 Drifter for almost 2 weeks now and God, I love it to death!
My old 500 Scooter had the practicality. My old EN500 had the nimbleness. The Drifter has coolness, style and charisma and it's all worth it! Don't know what else to say, just felt like expressing that fact 8)
We hear ya!!!
Had mine about a week before deciding I had waited too many years to make this discovery...Don't get me wrong, I love my W-650, too, but they are totally different.....
And you doubted that all the people here could be wrong.....lol....coolest dude in Sweden now......
Regards from southen Europe ! ;)
You've made a good choice, Ricky! 8)
;) I fall in love with mine everytime I go to the garage and see her parked there....and when it ride it...WELLL....yeah ....I fall in love all over again....
Enjoy your Drifter Ricardo....

Yeah, but then, you still believe in the Easter Bunny...

I'll have to admit that went over my head.
I have olives in the refrigerator. Wife likes the ripe ones, I like the green ones stuffed with peppers....and then there are the pickled mushroom caps...
Sorry Ricardo for the slight hijacking of your thread but I finally got Greenbarn ....hoot HOOT HOOT ....

Duh sing the song "Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer"
Olive is mentioned in near every verse because she used to laugh and call him names;
never let poor Rudolph nor join in any reindeer games.
Unless they released a different version of the lyrics, there is no "Olive" in "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer". The lyric is ALL OF...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0byH9h1ClBY
This should clear things up... :-\
it plainly said olive the other reindeer, listen again..... ;)
LOL
That was a G R O A N er. Seems like now that you mention it, I had heard that one before. A long long time ago....
And don't apologize - you're not really sorry about hijacking the thread....
Now we need someone to post the lyrics to Louie,Louie...
yes Sir GreenBarn I got you.....so I am now happy...lol.....took you long enough........
and I am sorry because Ricardo has not learned to deal with you.......
Louie Louie, me gotta go
Louie Louie, me gotta go
Fine little girl she waits for me
Me catch the ship for cross the sea
I sail the ship all alone
I never think I'll make it home
(chorus)
Three nights and days me sail the sea
Me think of girl constantly
On the ship I dream she there
I smell the rose in her hair
(chorus)
Me see Jamaica moon above
It won't be long, me see my love
Me take her in my arms and then
I tell her I never leave again
(chorus)
I love my Drifter, too...there, I hope, back on track!

I thought you had got it straight away when you said..
I'll have to admit that went right over my head
as in Olive the flying reindeer..
Just to bring it back off track again..
John.
Ricardo you will be the envy of all your buddies because you have the coolest bike, I would not think of getting rid of mine till I can not ride anymore.....
I'll will my bike to the forum to raffle off to a good person, so people in 0hi0 most of you are out....lol.......
back on thread...
Oh and in case someone is wondering...I still love my bike 8) Here's a recent pic:
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58439710/Autumn%20Drifter.jpg)
I've had my Drifter for a few months and have put about 1500 miles on it and try as I might I can't remember what I was doing before I got it. What did I think about? How did I function without the Drifter? What future plans could I possibly be making without the Drifter?
Ricardo , I too , am a huge fan of the drifter ! Sweet looking ride brother
I had to convince myself, at first...but now after we've been together for 42,000 miles, I kinda like it....Remember, I had my TourGlide for 200,000, and my Hot rod ElectraGlide for 254,000....I tend to hold onto things for a while...
lol I had my Ford Ranger for 22 years......speedo went over twice or more cannot remember, but I hope to live long enough to do the same with the Drifter.....
Ricardo what only one picture....why not more afraid of spoiling us?
Having just had mine about a week, and with riding weather almost gone what little I have got to ride mine I surely do love it!! light on her feet and nimble in comparison to my 1700 Nomad. Out on the open road the Nomad is hard to beat, but on shorter trips I think I am really going to like my Drifter! I told my wife if the Drifter was any easier to ride I would have to call it a slut! ;D
Got pics of your Nomad?
Sure Do! Here is one from this summer.
Very nice picture, would be a good advertisement picture.
Thanks! I wish the yield sign was not in the picture though.
Think "Photo-shop", man, that takes care of such things... ;)
That is a nice pic and bike by the way . Doesn't Bake have a similar pic with the covered bridge ? Wonder if this is the same place ::)
This particular bridge is in Knox County IL near Galesburg. Myself and some of my fellow Vulcan riders visited several covered bridges in IL this past year. These other two pictures are near Princeton IL

Perhaps you were thinking of my pics from this summer. They were from Ohio.

who's awesome Drifter did you get to use for that picture?
just mine.
That is an awesome picture Greenbarn!
:o too clean to be your ride, or your wife cleaned it prior to the picture.....and you have bumperettes....

Thanks, I like covered bridges, and Ohio in general, and our county (Union Co.) have quite a few.

I think that was in the spring, following the "spring cleaning"..... 8)
your going to show me them there bridges once I come to 0hi0 right, or is petemoss the tour guide.......were is that boy lately?
I haven't heard from Pete lately. Talked to BoaSki the other day, though. Might get together in a week or so for a Drifter Rider's not-riding-cause-it's-too-cold breakfast or cup of coffee or something.
Ratman, when you come, I'd be glad to do the bridge tour for you. I put together a ride this summer, I think it's about 80 miles, with about 8 (if I remember) scenic covered bridges, and some pretty nice Ohio Scenery (for this part of the state), including River Road, along the Scenic Scioto River. If you want, we'll extend it far enough to stop by the G & R Tavern in Waldo for a World-Famous Bologna sandwich.
That sounds like a good deal....I'm in.....
While you're in Waldo, go about 10 miles North on 57 to Road America...OOOppps, wrong Waldo

Sounds like bologna to me hahahaha . Nope Greenbarn it was definitely Bake I'm thinking of . It's actually on page 2 of introductions . First page of my intro . My computer literate ass can't get the picture to transfer here :P if someone would be so kind to do so for me ;) I'm also a fan of covered bridges , but unfortunately we have none around here . Believe the closest one is about 45 minutes north of here .
I am going to get aiden to teach you to count.....page one of your intro......lol......
I felt in love with mine since the first time i saw her inside the local kawa dealer: I still remember I was drivin' with my car and (I don't know why, maybe a sign from heaven) my eyes turned over that showcase and BOOOM! I saw that WONDERFUL and COOL retro-styled bike, so I just stopped my car in the middle of the Street (fortunately, none was behind me...) than parked it and in a hurry I was inside the store to get a closer lookin' at her (and I was droolin' like a wolf on his sheep ;D). A week later I went for my first Drifter ride and so I felt much more in love with her, because of her smooth cornering (and the glittering of her floorboards on the asphalt... ::)).
Now it's 14 years since that and I'm still in love with my baby, just like the first day :D

Now I remember seeing that before. Went back to your intro post again - man, that's like a Who's Who entry - There's almost as many drifter pics in that post as there are in the Gallery... ;D
That was a good bridge pic....
If there are more than 1 bridge up there by you - it would be worth mapping them out and making a nice little ride out of it, D1. I like covered bridges.
Greenbarn that's an excellent idea ! I'll map out what covered bridges are in the surrounding area and make a day trip of riding next season . I'll get ventoracing involved as well . That would make for a great day !
Thanks Ratman wish I had as much help locally with mods/tips hands on around here as I do computer friends in cyber space ;D I was correct

It's actually on page 2 of introductions . First page of my intro . ;) Aidan says , " Hello " and looks forward to seeing the bike decorated again once your mods are completed of course ;)
I had my list finished was going to post it for you and the other 800 riders, till my pal in 0hi0 sent me an new idea I am toying with now.......man want to push him down them stairs really bad right now......

suspense is a killer ::) Knowing greenbarn he's probably talked you into a tin hat holder :o ;D ;)
All I did was suggest to Ratman that he should do SOMETHING to extend his riding season a bit....
