Thumbs up Bagger??? What is a ultra now

riding today i was thinking about what do you call a ultra now that the term bagger has been used for a bike with only 2 saddle bags and no tour pack
there is even a mag bagger but no baggers just bikes with some saddle bags and fancy paint
ps but they do look good i like them

+1 on both accounts!

To my way of thinking, if it's got saddle bags, it can be called a "bagger." Add the tour pack and various other amenities and you've got a "full dresser" but either way, it's still a bagger.

JMO!
Ride Safe,

How is a bike with BAGS not a BAGGER? Ultras are "packers". Dont get a brown one though. People will say you ride a fudge packer.

They were called garbage wagon long before they put the pickanick basket on the back. I vote for Granny Glide. It sounds cute.
