In 1999, a Japanese motorcycle
company decided to pay tribute
to the elegant Chief motorcycles
manufactured by the
Indian Motocycle Company
in the late 1940s. Using art deco
styling keys and similar big
bore V-Twin engine layout
but adding new technology,
Kawasaki created the
DrifterDon's 1999 Drifter 1500
DrifterDon rides with...
Vulcan Drifter Owners'
Group (VDOG)
who annually get together at VDOG Drift-In
There was one in '06 too, but I didn't
win the logo design contest that year.
VROC -- The Vulcan Riders
& Owners Cult...I mean Club...
hold terrific rallies like Rally In The Canadian Rockies in August '04
and Custer, South Dakota, in June 2006.

DrifterDon's Drifter wears
(visit the catalogue and see my Drifter as supermodel)
and
a custom made windshield bag and fringe
from CycleCat Leather
DrifterDon rides with the
Foothills Chapter of Retreads
All bikes, all friends. The XL Plus is not a size requirement,
it's an age requirement; figure it out.
And with
Canuck Longriders
Where men are men and
sheep are fair game.
What has two wheels and 500 horsepower?
Ask Barry.
Interesting (to me anyway) modifications:
DrifterDon's 1500 growls loud and proud
thanks to Roadhouse Dooleys
