Default Anyone else notice this?

So it was a beautiful day in boston (75 in March!) and i couldnt help but notice that the majority of bikes on the road are baggers. Growing up (im 30) the majority of bikes seemed to be softails but it seems that the trend now is customizing baggers. How many of you have changed from softails to baggers?

Same here today in Wisconsin. Must have seen a couple hundred. In our group of 14 bikes only 3 were not baggers.

I switched, had a Heritage, went to a Ultra Limited. Loved the Heritage, just want to be do more miles this yr, need the xtra room and no vibrations. Have no plans to customize tho, Harley did a good enough job at the design.

People are finally realizing what a lot of us already knew, baggers are the only way to go......

Noting but Ghettoized Street-Glides and Road-Glides here in the Chicago burbs.
My riding Buds look at my Fat Bob as some kind of novelty bike.

When I bought my Night Train I told myself I'd be in the market for a bagger in a couple of years. Now that it's a couple of years later I don't think I could part with my Train. I just love this bike.
