There is no law that says you can't have both - unless you're hen-pecked that is

Once the bagger bug bites it's all over but the buyin'.

Yes, I'm the buddy with the SG. /evilgrin

I was perfectly happy riding my hot rodded Vulcan 2000 (ignorance is bliss, after all =) when he started in on me about his Bob and the two "managers specials" sitting over at his dealers shop last Spring.

Payback's a bitch, ain't it. ROFL!

Yeah, I'll probably get a bagger when I'm old. But right now I'm only mid-fifties...

It's up to you man. I judge no one by what they ride, but if I were in your boat and thinking about a bagger, I think the Street Glide would be it.
I was at the dealer this afternoon and after I got done drooling over the NiteTrain, I turned around right smack into a SG. Nice looking ride, but I am nowhere near ready to make that move yet. Still, I can appreciate a nice scoot when I see one.

I know the feeling about not being able to afford two scoots. If I could, that train would be in my garage already.

I'd be more inclined to buy a boat than a bagger. Wait, a bagger is a boat. [8D]

ORIGINAL: strich

I know some of you have experienced that strange sensation of looking at a model in another family and thought about how easy it would be to pull into the local stealer and just trade them out.

I've had my bob for about a year now and i love it. I absolutely adore it. I came from a metric and riding had lost it's fun until i picked up the bob. Now i eagerly watch the weather each morning hoping for good weather so i can hear that roar and enjoy the open road.

But i've got a buddy who's been on a Street Glide for the last 3/4 of a year and he's started to slowly and quietly pull me towards the dark side. I've never been a bagger kind of guy, but it's really started to grow on me.

Oh the agony!

Oh the pain!

What to do, what to do...

I know i'm asking a loaded question in this forum, but anyone with a SG as well as their Dyna and have any opinions? Ride, comfort, handling, overall appeal...

STOP!!!!!!!! [sm=noooo.gif] DO NOT PASS GO!! DO NOT COLLECT$200.00.

Take your temperature, get underneath the covers and don't come out til the sickness has passed! [sm=wakeup.gif]

If after all that you still finding yourself seduced, find the nearest Rehab Center and get yourself into a 6 gear, bare bones recovery program! [sm=joke.gif]
