Default fairings everywhere...

Stopped at a biker friendly roadhouse last Saturday and there were probably 40 bikes in the lot.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; All but two (one Crossbones, my Street Bob) had fairings, hard bags etc.&nbsp\\; I know... to each his own...but it amazes me how few people seem to want to ride a basic, no frills bike.

I had a Heritage until two years ago and I thought the same thing. What's wrong with a basic bike? I'm too young to be riding a bagger!! Opportunity came up to buy an 04 EGC with all the Ultra upgrades except the CB. Now, you couldn't pay me to go back.

Pig, are you sayin' I'm old?&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;

Crap, trying to edit to add more text and it won't let me.

After 4 tries I give up.&nbsp\\; Never mind.

No jbphoto, you don't have a fairing.
I was just kidding anyway but a lot of older folks around here do indeed&nbsp\\;ride around on those 2 wheeled cars.

Baggers are all the rage.&nbsp\\; I'd love to have both.&nbsp\\; My 25 year old buddy just went to a Road King Classic.&nbsp\\; I rode his dad's Ultra one day, but couldn't get any wind to cool me off.&nbsp\\;

Sold my 05 EGC for an 07 Bob. The EGlide was nice and comfy and great on long rides... not so much fun around town. i do miss all the luggage capacity though. But the Bob is just so fun to ride!
