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

It this the Harley Way to carry your "stuff" on a Street Bob????

If so, I'm doing it all wrong. I do own a backpack, so I could change my method of carrying my "stuff".

I don't understand. What is your question? Trying to look as cool as possible? What's the harley way to carry stuff? I'm confused..

I ride with my backpack every day.

I'll carry a back pack around town. But, if I'm going any distance I'll strap it to my rack. I don't like the extra weight on my shoulders for a long run.

I don't know if it's cool or not but I wish I could ride with a back pack, I'm just not comfortable with one. It would sure save me allot of grief over scratching up my back fender with bungee cords. But if I had a backpack I'd probably just end up bungeeing it to the back of the bike.

Who cares what anyone else thinks. It's what you think. If you a have to carry stuff and only have a back pack do it up. Personally, I have a pink hello kitty backpack. I think it makes me look even cooler.

Why are you worried about what anyone else thinks? Ride the way you want...

Have to agree with this one. When I rode my Fat Bob, if I had to tote stuff you do what you have to do. Carried a case of beer from Walmart to my campsite on the beach last summer. Life saver!

The type things that are not cool is acting an ass, being unsafe and not being yourself when you are on the bike. Things like weaving in and out of traffic at 80-90 mph is not cool. Wear the back pack, wear a pink shirt.....just be yourself and don't worry about what others think.
