"Old mans' bike"
Once you go bagger you won't go back .
No matter how old you are . i asked a
lifelong friend of mine whom I've rode
with over 40 years why we didn't discover
baggers sooner in life . He said he guessed
we were just stupid .

When I bought my SG I got crap for buying an "old man bike" from some of my buddies. They soon realized all the benefits of having a bagger and you can make them look good, Now they all ride old man bikes

I'm always happy to carry some stuff for those with stripped down bikes. Makes the ride better for everyone.
Often they end up getting a bagger for their own use.
Buying bikes are not always as well thought out as we might suspect. We often buy our first bike to learn what our 2nd bike should be

I ran the crap out of an Ironhead Sportster to keep up with Evo's and toted duffle bags on the back to Bike week. Built an FXR to the hilt just because I could. Bought an Ultra because I wanted it and won't look back. Ride what you want and smile every time you twist the throttle

From my experience, a Harley FLH type bike with proper suspension will out corner any other big twin frame. A sportster that is not lowered will out corner and leave any bagger.
I used to put 35-40k a year on my bikes. Now I do not have the same free time as I did then.
And I like my baggers.
