All I know is my next bike will be a bagger...not a replacement mind you, an addition. Probably a Street Glide or Electra Glide...

I have a 07 FLHTC (Electra Glide CLassic) and a 02 FXDP (Dyna Defender) the dyna if way smaller than the touring frame, motor and tranny is the same , well if you had the same year... Frame is beefier on the touring or "BAGGER"...I love both and could tour on the Dyna if i reset it to me, it's currently set up for my wife....

LOL I was the person in the other thread who stated our/my Switchback is not a bagger. I agree that a "bagger" is a term that is usually reserved for the touring bikes. Bikes with large hardbags and optimal for traveling long distance.
Now in my case, I would and could do both on my Dyna Switchback. This bike fits me perfectly. And I like not having to move around an extra 200+ lbs. It could have larger saddle bags, but I also spent $3000 less than what I would have on a Road King.
NOBODY said a Dyna couldn't tour, nor did anyone say a bagger could be a bar hop.
P.S.: I love seeing people get worked up over topics like these. Any one person can do what ever they choose to do with their own bike. Doesn't mean we need to get upset when someone says they wouldn't do the same

Yes, you did, now pull your panties out of your crack, and quit being so ****ing sensitive and grow a pair! Quit feeling like you've to to defend the fact that you ride a Dyna (because I'm not persecuting you over the fact that you do, personally I don't give a **** what you ride), and grow a thicker skin if you want to be on this site!
