Kid on a bagger

So im gettin a lot of comments about ridin a bagger and being so young... "thats an old mans bike", "Geezer-glide", and "those things are slow, why would you want one of those"...the geezer-glide comments i dont mind cuz im not old (im 20)...is it really that rare to see a kid my age on a bagger? lol

You should ride whatever you like, and not worry about what the others think.

From my experience, the ones that call it an "old man bike" are the ones that don't ride but wish they did.

When I was 20, I rode a sportster.
My big question is, how did you afford a bagger at 20? I think that's the rare part.

Yes it is rare, most younger guys will be on a Sporty, Dyna, or Softail.

I'm 24 and have had a RK for 2 years now. Doesn't matter what any one says, I like my RK.

I used to deal with that BS. Never failed though that about 5 minutes later someone would ask if they could put their jacket or some **** in my saddlebag....

Makes me laugh.

Didn't know there is an age limit on owning a bagger, ride what your comfortable with, they will be wishing they had one after a 700 or 800 mile day trip. Geezer Glides Rule
