Holy old thread, Batman.

 

...and most of the guys I know that call them "dressers" are north of 60. They've always been "baggers" to me, and I'm no spring chicken at 45.

In the '70s and '80s when I was growing up, you didn't see a lot of them, and sometimes referred to "full dresser", and a guy wearing a leather jacket, chaps, gloves and boots was referred do as wearing "full dress leathers".

Don't hear much of that any more

 

What about the ones all spangled with farkles? = Garbage Wagon




Garbage Wagon

 

Seems like most in the industry are starting to use the term touring models now but they are all the same imho.

 

Dug up a 4 year old topic just to give your opinion on the appropriate term for a touring bike? And I thought I was bored.

 

As far as I was told, dresser=hard bags, bagger=soft (leather) bags.

 

I didn't see road sofa on the list. I love mine, wish I would of made the move ALOT sooner than I did. Bigdawg, that bike is kewl as hell, reminds me of an Afghan jingle truck, lol. Some of those suckers are decked to the max.

...... mine has a RoadSofa !

..... when i was in college, the few who rode touring bikes (fairings, lowers, etc) , we referred to as 'fully dressed'
.... i call mine a bagger cuz it's easy, though it's as fully dressed as any from back in the day
...... it however is not 'formally dressed' as it has no CB, tour pak speakers, kitchen sink or cappuccino machine.... aka the Ultra & LTD lines


......

 

My bad Groupw, I overlooked that. I know rookie mistake, lol.

 

..... a 'rookie' @ 3200 posts ? i think not.
... a veteran whose garage apparently contains a big tool box, refrigerator & and an LTD ..... i definitely think not.
