nope.

If the first 3 letters of the model designation aint FLH or FLT, then it aint a bagger.

If I wanted plastic on the front end, I'd have bought an Ultra.
Should we tell him, LEXAN is a form of plastic???

Say it ain't so>>>>>>>>[:-]

Spoken like a true geezer glider. Nah, I'm just pickin...nothing wrong with the Ultra....just not my style...(yet)

Would a bagger with a mean old lady on back be a Nagger?
dgator66......I believe that would be tagged a Double Bagger, but I could be mistaken.

Exactly!

Choppers with bags look like "MrT." with a purse! It just isn't right!

And for the record, I thought a double bagger was what you called an ugly chick!?!? Or was it Fugly?

Interesting thread, I've wondered about these terms myself...

So do I understand it right?My E-Glide Classic (with touring trunk, etc) is a "Bagger" or "Dresser" correct? What is a "Full Dresser" - an Ultra? Where does it change? Is a Road King Classic with a full-size set of saddle bags still a bagger also?

I'm sure this is all up to interpretation more than anything, but it's interesting on a lazy morning like this, lol.

I thought the "bagger" is what started to hurt after banging on the gas tank for 500 miles.

If it's got bags....it's a Bagger. Road Kings are considered a Bagger.
