That's a great article, Washbrook.  I enjoyed reading it.   One question I thought of half way through the article was..  How many  new Polaris Indians do you see over there?    Here, I see a few more than I do Drifters (which is few and far between),   but still very few. 

Then I got to the bottom and see you are a proud Indian owner as well.   What do you think of it???


Take care,
Greenbarn

There are a lot more Indians on the road than there used to be. Still not as common as the HD's or other cruisers but certainly on the increase. Price is a big factor over here. I love my Indian. I recently did the 121 Lloydz upgrade on it so it has huge amounts of power. I have it so I can throw the wife up back now that she does not ride and we can cruise anywhere in comfort. I now use my Drifter for solo riding only and mainly for day trips. They are both different and both have things I like about them so I do not consider them in competition against each other when I want to go for a ride.

Really a nice article.
Something to be proud for, and I mean the Drifter...  ;)
