Is it "Un-cool" to ride a Street Bob wearing a backpack?

+1 I never rode a Harley or any other bike to win friends and influence people. If I have a backpack on my back, it's my choice.

I rock a swiss army back pack for my laptop for work.

It works, I work, bike mods get paid for, everyone is happy.

Cool is an attitude, not a "look".

Good grief! There are a lot more backpackers on this forum thread than I see on the road.

No problem with riding the way you want with respect to backpacks, but y'all have to admit, there exists a "Harley Image". In this same Dyna Forum, there were some negative comments about changing my Street Bob seat for a Mustang Wide Vintage because it wouldn't look right, or something like that. But I did it anyhow because it works for me, especially on a 500 mile day trip. I still keep the original "Butt Bruiser" seat so I can have an "authentic" Street Bob after a 30 second seat swap.

Personally, I don't do backpacks unless I'm hiking.

My opinion.

Do what works for you.

I would wear one, empty, if i thought I might get something I need to carry back home, or if i was going on a trip to visit the folks or something, as i don't have any bags.

I have been playing with the idea of getting a suction cup stick on P-Pad and a black bungee cord setup that would scratch anything. As it is right now, I couldn't carry a T-shirt without a backpack.

The Harley Backpack gives me a good idea. I have a black backpack....sew on a harley patch, and now it matches.

The spongebob idea is just silly.

the "Harley way"?
I guess this has to do with
the "Harley lifestyle" and The "Harley personality".

[rcaddell]

I wore this every day I took my bike to work:



Now I strap it to my sissybar just because it is more comfortable. Holds my laptop, a shirt, glasses, keys, etc.
