Dresser?
How did the touring bikes get the moniker "dresser"? Is it because with all the room you have with the trunk and saddlebags it will hold all of the clothes in my dresser drawers, or because you can "dress them up"? Inquiring minds wanna know.

RE: Dresser?
I think it was because the first guy to install all that stuff on his bike was named Chester Drawers. Since he didn't think it would sound good to call his bike a Chester, he decided to call it a Dresser. I would swear that this is a true story unless I just made it up.

RE: Dresser?
The term Dresser came from the fact that they are all dressed for longer trips. "Pre" dressed, if you will, or even if you won't.
When someone would say that they are going to "dress" out their ride for a trip, they were going to add bags, trunk, windshield, etc.
Inquiring minds now know.
