Hi, the name is Vincent and I finally purchased my Drifter after looking for a few years now. 1999 1500 - 21,000 Km.
Looking forward to reading about your tips.
Our numbers are swelling we are now up to something like 10 of us active.....lol.......
Welcome, but dude you better get pictures up and posted before some of our southern boys get all upset they want pictures.
Where are you located?
Welcome, and yes... PICTURES PLEASE! ;)
Welcome Vincent.
Welcome to the forum Vincenzo!
Welcome aboard, Vincent. How 'bout those pics?
And so...it begins!
QuoteAnd so...it begins!
do you wish to clarify said remark?
what's not clear about it? The onslaught of picture requests...hammering him until he gives in!
ok....lol.........
Welcome Vincent, where abouts in Canada are you?
I'm from Regina, Saskatchewan... and I got a couple of pic up!
Your bike looks really clean man!
It has some hard to find expensive options on it too! A blackout engine guard and blackout sissy bar and rack, some passenger floorboards, fender light and a headlight visor........very nice!
Yes when I have money to burn like GB that is my next ride a 99 Gooseberry 1500......and leave it stock.....yup....in my dreams......
Very nice, best looking ride in Regina I'll bet.......
I'll cut you a deal Ratty
Looks great Vincenzo, but then again also very familiar lol, except I have changed to a Corbin tan, really miss my sissy bar and luggage rack. Would love to find some of those passenger boards.
Thanks all. It's got a long way to go before it's anywhere near looking really good (but that's part of the fun!). It was left out in the rain a few summers - the passenger floorboards need a re-chrome (and one rubber). Going to try to keep it as stock as possible.
Learning much from the the info and tip on the forum.
Hey you could be "My Cousin Vinny" lol......Canadian cousin of course........since you have a 99 and it is black out, consider gloss black powder coating for your boards.....that is what I did on my 800.......just saying.....

Hey, Vinny, if you would like "Indian" floor board rubbers, I have a set I'm getting ready to list for sale. I'll make you a good deal on them, but you have to consider shipping, too, so it might not work out. Now, if we could get your cousin Ratman to pick them up at Drift-In, and bring them up there to deliver them to you..... then that would be a REALLY good deal.
It's ok Vinny my cousin, let me explain it to our young friend from the state of 0hi0. They do not understand Canadian geography they think we all live in igloos and have winter all year round so please forgive them. So my friend from 0hi0, here it is, from Richwood Ohio to Regina is 2403 kms or 1493.1957 miles, and from North Bay to Regina it is only 1480.1466 miles. So that being said, if he wants them then what needs to happen is you need to load them on your bike, oh right I know how you kit is getting to Drift In. So you get it to Drift In and I'll take care of it from there. Once I get it home, I might just go for a three day ride out to Regina and you can just be jealous, because the lovely sweet and fantastic Mrs. GreenBarn would not let you go....lol....
Hello Vincenzo :) I also welcome in the community of lovers of this machine 8) 8) 8)
Welcome Vincent!

I just figured you guys lived close, since you had the same accent, eh? ;D :o 8)
;) Ok here in Canada there is only 2 places that speak different then the rest of the country. Now we differ from the US in this respect were each state has their own unique accent and dialect. In Canada there is only 2 places that fit this and that is Quebec and Newfoundland, there they speak their own language. The rest of the country we speak Canadian, makes life really easy.
