Default Who rides bagger with trunk-mostly solo?

Looking at getting a RG Ultra. I ride solo 90% of the time if not more. Wife is not into riding anymore. I don't really like riding 2 up anyway and a 2-3 hr morning weekend ride gives me my fill. Not to mention I like to crank the throttle especially in the back road twisties....and she's a wimp and will start punching me.

I just like having a trunk to stow stuff helmet, jacket...etc. And I just assume always leave it on.

Anyone else ride solo most of the time with a trunk? I'm hoping there's more of us out there.

I ride solo about 95% of the time and just love being on the ultra with storage space and comfort. Wife rides maybe 3 or 4 times a year, but go solo most of the time.

I ride solo 95% of the time but I keep my passenger seat and tour pack on.
I love the convenience of a tour pack.

Likewise here!

But I can also take out the Duece when I want the "cool bike". Just kidding - they're both cool in their own way.

I hear ya. I have a '98 Honda CBR1100XX for days when I'm really running "late".

It's funny but I've always thought the "coolest" looking Harleys were the touring bikes....specifically the Ultra and RK Classic.

Solo 100% of the time. The tour pack is removable, add the passenger seat and back rest in 5 minutes I could ride two up if I wanted.

I've put 38,000 miles on in just under3 years and I think my wife has been on the back for about 1000 miles. She works and I am retired and I just like to ride and love all the features of the Ultra.
