I dunno. 5-10 years ago, you couldn't have GIVEN me a RoadKing; Now--that's all I wanna ride. But for me--it ain't the comfort thing--it's knowing i could ride as far as I want without a hitch.
Although, the farthest I ever ride is Daytona. Geez; I'm such a douche!
But, if I DO see a good buy on a 96" 6-speed NightTrain--I'm scoopin' it up. But I'll always keep the King.

I didnt cave that fast, I pressed her a little more and tried to explain how it was a cool bike, etc. The clincher was when she said that she thought the "baskets" on the back looked strange. She rarely rides so she doesnt care about the comfort so based on looks alone shes not digging it. Although looking at the above bike im still thinking about it though.....

Screw that. My son put a tube of preparation H on my seat when I brought her home after the fat boy.
I don't regret this bike 1 bit. I've had so many great miles on her already.....all of them the most fun miles I ever had. This bike is bad ***. To me that is......not knocking anyones ride. Jmo

Not giving a crap about what other people do, or why they do it...provided it doesn't impact you directly...and not caring what other people think about what you think, or what you do (unless not carin' will cost you money)...comes to you with age.
Along with bandy white legs, plaid shorts cinched up just under your flaccid little pointy old-man's ****, and takin' 81mg of aspirin/day in the hopes it'll keep your ticker beatin' semi-steady for one more year.
I got 99 problems...but bein' worried about ridin' a bagger ain't one.

baggers are super popular
most new riders have a hard time beliving that 12 years ago when i worked at the hd parts counter we would dog your *** if you where a young guy on a tour bike
but then again back then they all looked the same (big and ugly) now they have alot more style
I am 35 and even with the bagger craze still have a hard time watching young dudes (25 yrs old or so )ride baggers. I know this is being a d%^k but I cant help but think to myself "are you serious, dude pay your fu$%ing dues on a real bike for a while and save the bagger for later". I mean you would never see a young man lust over a lincon town car!!
Oh yea, and i plan on gettting a street glide soon because they are so bad ***

Ok let me get this straight...a bagger is not a real bike?????? Wtf have i been riding if not a real bike? What did I ride last year to Laconia and New England for 2853 miles in 8 days? Damn sure wasnt a sloptail or Shortster. It rode like a real bike....a real comfortable bike.
