Default Bagger Switch and Switch Back.

It seems I have read hundreds of threads in the Touring section that talk about someone switching to a bagger from a softail/sporty/dyna and never switching back. You would expect that point of view from the touring section but I've been wondering if there isn't another perspective of someone that switched to a bagger and switched back. I'll admit to my own bagger bias having ridden a bagger for the last 30 years. Nevertheless, I'd like to think I'm still not to old to develop an appreciation for a different perspective so I decided to post this question in all four sections.

Anybody switch to a bagger then switch back? Reasons?

after riding Ducati, Triumph and Moto Guzzi, my 1st harley purchase in 2005 was a roadking classic. To me that is an "all around" bike.

Since that purchase, i bought a deluxe, a nitetrain and then bought a roadglide

I still have my road king. I ride all of my bikes dependin on what im doin. I use my roadglide to commute to work everyday.
