Default Why only Dynas ?

How come when I see a swim suit model or nude posing with a bike it is always with a Dyna ? Is it because softtails take something away from the model ? Most ( 99% ) of the hot looking custom bikes I see in mags or at shows are either hardtails or softtails . Any photographers out there know why ?

Just curious , Dan

Hard tails are cheaper and easier to build. Softails look like hardtails. Bad assed 1%'ers (and us wannabe's) didn't/don't ride baggers.

I have a Dyna now, had choppers, softails, and a bagger or two in my glorious past. Too old for the hardtails, have no use most of the time for the 'trunk space'. Softails and my Dyna handle about the same, Dyna seems handles my weight a little better. Have ridden my wife's Sport and Nightrain (softail). I'm way too big for a Sport. Peg and bar position feels better on the Dyna....personal choice. What ever fits....ride it and enjoy it.

Because they want something they can handle the baggers are to much bike for them.

Cause Sportsters are girls bikes and they're trying to make the Dyan a chick bike too , lol. I'm gonna ragged on for that comment ,but hopefully someone will see the humor .

Actually Dan, it's because softails are so common, you know, everybody has one, Dyna's are like a naked model.

Well first off, Dynas are better bikes that Softails.

Now about the models posing with them. I see more Softails and Hardtails being posed with than I do Dynas. What sites do you frequent? With the exception of a few FXRs, I rarely see a Dyna being posed with let alone get featured in a magazine.

Betcha don't tell any 1%ers that!

Ya' gotta remember that NOT EVERYBODY is a poser / wannabe!!! There ARE patcholders in the audience.

P.S. There are ALOT of 1%ers that now ride baggers, although that did'nt use to be the case back in the day.
