Default Oh, no! I've gone bagger! Am I insane????

The moon's about full and I must be crazy. I hadn't ridden in 40 years, so last year at this time, I bought an 883 XLH Sportster for my 62nd birthday. Lasted about 2 months on that, sold it and bought a 2002 FXDL with thoughts of making it into a touring bike. Not a bad concept and it travels well, but it's not a tourer.

An hourago I just made a deal to trade the Lowrider + a little cash for a 2003 Road King Custom. The FXDL will have about 15k miles on it after I ride it to AZ and make the exchange for the King with 16k miles. And, yes, all the bikes are/were Vivid Black & Chrome.

Insane???...on the contrary. Buying a bagger is anaturalevolutionary adaptation that indicatesa higher level of sophistication and intelligent thought. Yourrecent step up the evolutionary ladder is supported by a long line of scientific theory and research. Its true that baggers ride much smoother than sporsters...thus you've protected your 'nads' from the harshness of in-delicate ride and so your testes are still functional...and possibly quite viable. If it wasn't for your somewhat advanced age your testes maystill be able to produce extremely potent and viable offspring...might want to get a vasectomy at this point.

Its quite common to see many more baggers on the road today than it was just 10 years ago...proof again that bagger riders are breeding at a much higher rate than sportster owners. Obviously bagger intelligence wins over more simple herding/gathering (sportster) cultures!

Thanks for the positive responses and vital info. Had the vasectomy in '73, a year before they invented anesthetics for the procedure.
I was hoping this deal would make me better looking as I am not the handsomest of men (see avatar photo). I get by on the Red Green theory that "If the women don't find you handsome, at least you should be handy."

Congrats on your new bike. I love the look of the Road King and I am sure that you will be very happy with it.

More room to store stuff and a more comfortable ride.

I just got rid of a 2008 FXDL for a new FLHX. I am completely happy with my new ride!
