Default More baggers

I decided to take a ride up to lake George today and I noticed that there are a lot more baggers then I've ever seen including myself. Lake George used to be filled on weekends with cruisers and 10 percent baggers now it's about 70 percent baggers. Just an observation.

I heard the average age of the Harley rider is around 47. We have steady jobs, and probably spent our younger years getting beat up by shovels, and it's our turn to spend our money the way we want and be comfortable doing it.

My local Harley dealer said the best selling bikes the past 3 years have been Street Glides. People are starting to realize comfort is important, not looking cool. They are a pain in the *** to clean though!!!
