Default Strictly Solo Baggers ?
Apologize if this has been asked before but how many of you ride your touring rig solo to the extent that you actually ditched all traces of passenger pegs/footboards?

Pics please of your solo-only rides.

Thanks in advance,
Primo

i've tried to go solo, but between the fact of me being so good looking, and owning a Harley......... i just can't get away by myself. Either my Aunt, or my mom, or someone wants a ride.

I ride 99% of the time solo, but have not stripped it down, no intentions of doing so.

In the time I've owned the bike, I haven't been compelled to have a passenger. With that, I see no reason to take that option away.
