My last bike was a Bagger 02 Electra Glide totaled it in 2010. I was all set to buy a new 2011 Sedona Orange SG but after looking at a test riding the 2011 Fatboy Lo I changed my mind. Haven't looked back since.
Hard to beat a bagger for those long days on the road and when you're camping. But, I love my Crossbones for around town and shorter trips. The Ultra's just a bit big and heavy for running around town.
Its kinda like asking "why are all my neighbors dirtbags?" Your perception is that there are way more baggers out there only because that's who you ride with. Methinks dyna riders would disagree.
I had a Sporty years ago and now have the RK. My next bike will probably be a Road Glide. The older I get the more important comfort is to me, not to mention that my body can't take the abuse like it use to.
You see more baggers early in the season because they can handle the temp changes during the day this time of year. No snow,dry pavement just sand to worry about. When the am low is 50-55 the naked bikes will be out.

i ride with 2 guys who have softails, i have a dyna. On the ride today i noticed most bikes were baggers.
I was out riding all day yesterday and today, seemed like a pretty good mix of bikes out there, maybe a few more baggers. I rode with 5 bikes yesterday, mine and one other were the only baggers. Spring has sprung, and there were tons of bikes on the road, great sight to see.
