Borrow your bag...ger???
True that. Buddy I ride with has a bagless Fatboy. He rails on about how ugly my RK it as he's packing my bags full of his maps, extra shirt, gloves, sunglasses, etc. Gotta love it.

Picked up my 15SGS, two days before Halloween this year. When I got home, the wife comes out to check it out (she had only seen pictures from the ad), her first words were "so now you've got your old mans bike". After her first ride, she gets it!

I suppose they're old man bikes because mostly old men ride them. I throw a set of leather saddle bags on mine and I have a back pack that straps to the backrest. Gives me the 70s road-tramp look. The young crowd loves the cool factor. I admit the Glides are better for touring, but I like travelling light when I'm not going far.

I ride with a buddy who had a nice, cool looking wide glide. All stripped down, no bags, no bitch bar, no windshield. He never understood why I rode a Geezer Glide.
He would always ask me to haul his crap. I learned to stuff my bags with all kinds of gear I knew I wouldn't need, just so I could say I had no room.
As he aged a little, he noticed he was always the first one who needed to stop. Was always over dressed or under dressed. Never prepared for a rain.
He finally broke down an got himself a SG.
Now he gets it.
