The terminator rode a Fat Boy. They even made toys and every rider wanted to be seen on a Fat Boy. A fat boy used to be bad azz. Then Arnold hit a curb and wrecked his Fat Boy in real life and age caught up with him and he lost his bulk. Sales started to fall and the Fat Boy lost its mojo. Enter the age of the bagger.




Here, the Terminator is trying to push this guy off his bike because he is on a Suzuki and it is not a real bike. You also can see where he kicked out the light on the semi because the driver disrespected him while riding his Fat Boy in full leathers and black shades.

20 miles and 3 pitchers of kitty **** is all these kids can handle these days. A touring bike is for a rider. My OL loves riding 2 up on the Road King,way more comfortable than her softail was,or her Sportster is.

All this old man's bike **** is pretty funny. You ride what you like, and I'll do the same. Hold on to sixteen as long as you can...

I guess I must be a REALLY old guy since my first bagger was my first bike and I got it when I was 17. Since she doesn't like the way baggers look, good thing she isn't buying the bike. I could not care less what anyone including my wife thinks of how my bike looks or whatever image she or anyone else thinks it portrays. I like it and that's the one and only opinion that counts. If you are swayed by what someone else thinks of it, then I'm really glad that I'm not you.

+1. I've ridden my Springer Softail in two Hoka Hey's including a round trip on the AlCan and it did just fine. Maybe not as comfortable as a land barge but I'm thinkin a hell of a lot more fun,
