Haven't you all seen Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man? That dude went all over the country on that thing. Never changed out of his leathers (isn't it interesting how characters in movies never change costumes/clothes?). Probably washed his undies - assuming he washed them at all - in the sink at whatever flop his was staying in.
An what about shocks and cushy seats? What do you need them for? You see Harley's rigid setup and seat?
Ok, Ok... Even Harley had a small saddle bag. Probably used that for weapons and ammo. What's your excuse?
And what about that La-Z-Boy arm chair/recliner thing you got on the back of those Geezer-Glides? What's that for? For 2-up'ing it?
I always wonder why so much thought is involved with what other people think! Are we that insecure lol!
Walk your own walk, talk your own talk, care what you want, not what others say or have.... be your own man, remove all boundaries, ride free!

I see my comment started a storm hahaha. Don't forget I just meant it to the Richard who said I was an idiot for commenting on his fuel injection problem, when my bike is carburated(the harley, yammie is mikuni fi). If he didn't say only idiots rode bikes with carbs I wouldn't have said that about touring bikes, so I apologize.
Anyway, enjoy your; geezer glides, road sofas, garbage wagons, land barges, etc.
You talking about the ones who take off the reflectors and belt guard. Add a tuner. Screw around with the exhaust and handle bars and then ask why it does not run right after having numerous wiring shorted out? Then after it sits around in their garage, they pass it on to some newbie that does not no any better.
Of course, by then, they took a few parts off and sold them on Ebay so no one has a clue to what they have gotten...
Love the pic of the girl and "Harley" from the movie. I'm afraid it never happened for me like that! I got my bagger in 07, a buddy of mine that rode had just sold his Dyna after 20 years and bought a Road King, when I told him I was looking for my first harley he told me " your an old man, get a Road King", I was 56. 9 seasons later I've put 130k on her. Still just flat love it..............golie
I evolved. I started off wanting cheap, fast and sleek. After getting bored with my area, I began going farther out to see new places. Over the years I discovered that there is a reason for all that ( bags, windshield,etc.) on a bike. IMO, If you ride long enough, and far enough, the reason for geezer glides gets very clear.
