Default Why Touring beats Softail in BOM......

Numbers, shear numbers. If you look on the board the useuly at least 3 times the participation. Maybe some one else has noticed, some one is all ways complaing about how unfair is the bagger boys always win, It's easy, there more of them...(US).

Not trying to start anything, I just used to have a softy and would wonder why the bagger always won BOTH, then I joined the baggers and realized something I hadn't before: they's more of em. Simple math. That why the always win BOTH.
Not that they don't have great bikes, but so do the other catagories.
Anyway, for those you who don't know me. h Here is my bonifide;

So are they....they just hop online whilst riding after they set the autopilot, crank up the dolby 7.1 surround sound, and slip into the office for a bit.

Not all of us. You may notice I don't even use a windscreen, much less a fairing.
