Hi, my name is John am from the uk, and I am 60 been riding all my life, saw the bike for sale on a web site, drove to see it only 3 hours away( not like some of your mileage ) and paid a deposit, i am picking my 2001 drifter up on the 2/8/16,
it is fitted with a screen and panniers, it is a import with 7713 km/h) 5142miles from new :) on the clock, last owner has had it for 9 years, and only rode it to the mot station and back, he said that he is not aloud to ride any more, and was very sad to see it go.
Welcome aboard!
Your bike is damn like mine, except for the body colour... Nice ride!
Outlaw welcome here also...you can hammer Shunter on this forum also feel free....
Welcome to the forums,
I can totally see it happen. Is this a 400 CC version by any chance?
Greetings from the Netherlands. Alfred
Hi, thanks for the welcome,
It is a 800 cc the 400cc are very rare in the uk saying that there is one on ebay over here for more than I paid for mine.
Welcome to the forum outlaw!
Welcome outlaw! Lots of great people here that always willing to answer any questions you might have.
WELCOME!!! glad to have another member! Nice Drifter.
Thanks all for the welcome, picked it up yesterday and rode it home , 231ks, it done more mileage than it had done in a few years, stopped for petrol , and when I was walking back to the bike I heard 2 guys talking one of the said" look over there a old Indian, some one has good taste,
Only wish I had bought it years ago when I had the chance now to start work on it give it a good service, clean up the frame, and have bought chrome flasher covers before I picked up the bike, The long buying slope has started ::) even though I told the wife that it needs nothing doing,
her reply was it will want stuff. ::)
