All in good fun. I've seen a few that made me do a double-take.

I have an old shovel riding buddy that used to give me **** when I would ride my "couch glide/geezer glide/ full dresser" as he would say. Fast forward several years and he recently bought a Heritage and put hard bags and a reckless fairing on it, looks really nice. However due to the hard time he used to give me I started referring to his bike as a cross-dresser and when he would show up I would ask him if he was riding his shovel or if he was riding Caitlyn. The name stuck and all our group calls his bike Caitlyn now.

Yes. Good point.

I was not even thinking of a person being a bagger, just as a bike type.

Yes but if you ask a question about your bike in the Motorcycles section, do you post in the section you identify with or the section that goes with what it says on your title?

For a guy who is very sensitive about how Californians are talked about, this is a peculiar way to refer to guys who ride, but weren't around to ride in the 50s or 60s. Not a judgement, just an observation.

I spent a week vacation at the lake, complete with tent, sleeping mat and bag, changes of clothes, food and fishing gear to include 2 surf rods, 2 bass rods and tackle, all carried on or strapped to an old yamaha with no bags.

Not sensitive just exasperated with idiots living on the other side of this country talking out the sides of their mouths about things they have no first hand experience with.

As for my original comment it wasn't so much the 50's and 60's it was the late 80's and early 90's when things started getting gentrified, so that said if the shoe fits....
