    The Drifter is gone. I have an envelope full of nelsons and a space on the
    drive.

    I must admit to feeling a little wistful this evening.

    I hate to break it to you mate, but you're well off without that boat
    anchor.

    The Evil Twin? It's cluttering up the garage. I really must get my shit
    together and reassemble it.

    I might just keep the RT for two-up work, and get something aggressively
    solo as my real bike.

    In some ways, but the times on the Drifter have been good.
    It's kept me sane...
