Default I get a kick outta hearing....

people say, "I would get a bagger... but for short trips around town they seems a little big"
So they get a road king.

Whatever... get what you want... but I take my bagger to home depot and to the store for milk and wherever... not just on trips.

If it comes down to cash... just say it...no big deal

Anyone else ever hear this comment?

Yep, all the time. I think if "they" had the money, everyone would have a bagger.

Yep, it's a bagger. I've had both and they each have their pluses and minuses. I currently have an 05 Eglide (dresser) but IMHO a Road King with a detachable fairing is the best of both worlds and will probably be my next bagger/dresser or whatever you want to call it.

I have read that on here. I had a Deuce before my Street Glide. It was a fun bike to ride but not as useful as my SG. A second bike would be for the fun of it, not just to get around town.

I love mine. I plan on her being with me for years to come.
I tell all who tell me that very excuse, just get one without all that passenger excess. Then while they see mine, they say "I didn't know you can get'em like that" LOL...
