you've got around 50 responces who gave you props...... with about 5 responces who are hard core and like nastolgil (sp) rides...

that is a strong approval rating......can't please them all.........

BTW, there all nice rides......... and some VERY SICK Customs..

Good Luckand be proud of your ride........

I know I LOVE my bagger. Have friends who ask why I have it? WHY? If you have to ask you dont get it. But I am the one who always has cold drinks and all my other things I need for a long haul ride.I can pack a weeks worth of clothes in one bag and carry COLD drinks in the other.To tell you just how much an ******* I can be all my buddies who rag on me for my GEEZER GLIDE I always say dont you wiosh you had a nice cold drink when its 90 out. And I tell tehm stop at the next store and get one.

I'm 38 and own an 07 sg, I wanted to build a custom so bad it hurt, But last june I had my 2 back surgery and was told its only getting worse, so I scraped the custom Idea and bought the sg, It was the best thing I could have done, I love it, I also have an 03 V-star 1100 custom that I was going to keep as a bar hopper, Its being sold, Can't stay off the Sg, When the guys at the bike nite give me ****, I turn up the radio and smile as I ride away in COMFORT!!!!! When some one Else makes my Bike payment , Then there opinion counts!!!!!!! Just my .02 T
