First ever UKDOG
Rally at Matlock in Derbyshire, June 2005
Welcome
to the first bi-monthly UKDOG online newsletter. It's an idea I've had for a while
and it seemed like the appropriate time to launch it alongside the new
revamped website. In keeping with the idea, above is a group pic from the
campsite at our first ever UKDOG Rally at the Plough at Two Dales near Matlock
in Derbyshire in 2005. For more info and pics check out the writeups on the
Events page.
Get well soon -
Best wishes to Phil's wife Jeannie who appears to now also be affectionately known
as 'Mrs C'. Everyone at UKDOG hopes that you continue to make a speedy recovery following
your recent hospital stay. MC picked the flowers specially for you Jeannie!!!

Featured Drifter -
With the launch of the new website, we've re-introduced the
'Featured Drifter' gallery, so here's your chance to get your pride and joy shown in
more detail. I'm hoping that with enough interest, we will be able to have a calendar
printed to commemerate the 10th anniversary of the Drifter production in 2009, using
pictures from the Members Gallery and Featured Drifter. More details on that later on in
the year
Member Profile -
I've kicked the ball rolling with the new Member Profile
concept along with Phil. If you'd like to join in then check out the details in the link
above. Remember you can also shout in brief about your business and any services you may
be able to offer to the group without having your own webspace.
Meets and stuff -
Get ready for Swallow Falls - Don't forget to sort out your B&B or camping for the first
UKDOG meet on April 18-20th 2008. Contact the hotel direct at
http://www.swallowfallshotel.co.uk to book up. You won't be dissapointed, it's a
great place to stay and Nigel & Gino know all the best roads around North Wales to show you
stunningly beautiful scenery. Last year we had georgous sunshine as we munched scummy
Fish n Chips parked up along the waterfront at Conway. Great riding, great company, great
food and great views, what more could you ask for.

Hot tip -
Got melted plastic or waterproof marks stuck on your otherwise shiney chrome exhausts? -
try applying a thin coat of paint stripper or oven cleaner on a cold exhaust and leave on for 5-10 minutes before wiping off with a soft cloth and then giving it a quick wipe over with WD40.
Want a good replacement shock for your 800 Drifter? -
fit Hagon shocks as a replacement for a better quality ride. Not only are they cheaper
than standard replacements, they are fully adjustable and can be rebuilt.
Have a smoother ride all round. Check out these and many other hints on the
Technical page.
Dealer news -
Remember that there is a host of aftermarket accessories available for the Drifters.
Check out those we have listed on the Accessories page
for more info, and remember to let us know if you find new contacts we can add
