Default What is a Bagger?

Ive started to notice in some of the "Bagger" mags of different HD bikes that slap on a set of sadel bags and poof, they are now Baggers.

Who else feels any bike with a set of bags in considered a "Bagger"

Just wondering.

Case in point, latest issue of American Bagger shows a Dyna with a set of bags, and has a feature in a Bagger mag. Not really what I am looking for when I purchase a Bagger mag.

Heck Iam lucky if I even get to see 1or 2 stories on a RK. For the most part seems like all the focus is on the street glides and road glides.

My buddie's softail custum has a set of very nice leather bags on it that look awesome. So I guess you could call it a bagger. But you could never call it a touring bike.
