Default RE: Why do other riders hate baggers so much.

I don't do bike of the month...I was in that twice with the Deluxe. The first timeI lost to a baggerand a really awesome rebuild of an old sportie

The second time it was a blood bath for all but 2 bikesand my bike actually got attacked...it was nasty. That was more then enough for me.

So even if I was elected I'd likely turn it down....not that anyone would vote for a basically stock bagger anyway...(not the point)[&:]

Bikes are like women. I've loved every one. Wish some were still around. But you just gotta move on to a better ride. I wouldn't trade my RK for anything right now but I felt the same about the Softail, the Beemer, the Bonneville, the Goldstar, the...

Screw 'em. Your bike is sweet. I'm just the other side of the "old guy" age of 50. I just bought my first Harley (08 EGlide). Haven't even riden it yet. One of my coworkers commented "that's an old guy bike." I told him it's all about comfort. You ride what you ride, as long as you ride. I'm good with that.

I don't know if I should be upset or not but a buddy of mine told me to log on today and read some the posting in the bike of the month. I have to say that I'm a little irrated about some of the comments. That's fine but if you don't like the a bike keep the negative comment to yourself. I never say anything negative about anybody bike. I apologize about the rant but I needed to get that off my chest.
You got a sweet ride man.
I'm on a RKC,and when I go riding with the "cool" guys
they stuff their sh*t in my saddle bags because
it's uncool to ride with a backpack [8D]
Baggers rule
