Grats on choosing what is unquestionably the most stylish HD bagger ever built. =)

Top, do these baggers look like an "old mans bike"? You can make any Bagger into a "cooooooooooool rock star bike" and have bags or a radio or both and ride twice as far as on them lowly softails. Go into the picture threads and see what some other old men have done to thier BAD *** BAGGERS!

Welcome to the Bagger Brotherhood - there is no looking back now - before long it wont look, sound or act like the bike you first bought.

When I got my Electraglide FLHTPI, My son (21) called it a wheel chair for old men. I got him on the back of it without the tourpak on a secluded road and got on it. He thought he was gonna be sliding on the pavement and was holding on for dear life. Now, it is a joke between us that I 'll have the fastest wheel chair in the old folks home! Other peoples perception mean nothing. I wish I would have had the forsight to not be so close minded about baggers before! I think the reason you see mostly older people on baggers is the older people grew up and don't care as much what other people think! Enjoy and congrats!
