I love the look, not real sure how they ride though. The Tourpak looks unstable, is it just the video, or does it really bounce around like that?

Gorgeous bike. Doesn't have the practicality that I bought my bagger for. More for young guys looking for a mate. I just want to transport my mate of 31 years in comfort.

Looks like big bucks. What does a bike like that cost?

A friend of mine has one similar to the bike in the video and he loves it which it great but I'll stick to more basic modifications.

It's great to have options though.

I don't care for the look myself, but maybe I need to re-evaluate since you managed to go 200 miles round trip on one.

Hey, it's your bike so as long as you like it don't worry about what others think about it.

Looks like the old "bigwheel" i used to pedal around as a kid. lol I wonder if they have 26's on the front of there tahoe and 16's on the back. Proportion? Never heard of it. But, to each his own. Glad everyone in the world has different tastes though, it would be VERY boring if we all thought the same,like the government wants us to be.

It looks like a rough azz ride to me. He's only doing about 10 mph and bounching like crazy.
That's probably do to the rear being slammed so much............but no thank you.
