Probably everyone that owns one. Do you have some thing specific you want to address?
I love running river & mountain roads.

Knowing how little of a bump it takes to bend a 21" wheel I can only imagine how fragile these big wheel baggers are.

The big is on air ride and its lowered. The big wheel are hard to get used to on slow speeds. Never ridden one but heard lots. Not too many people here like the style. Go to ChopperBaggrs.com for more inclined people. Tell them I sent you. same name.

I sincerely hope you will reconsider this bike and instead get something practical. You can get a really nice bagger for what this would cost and get a lot more enjoyment out of it.
