Me--on the cover of american bagger

[howard kelly]

January 2009 issue is a pretty good one.....

GREAT PIC !!!          .....but  .... Bagger ?   Is that the Dyna you were / are selling ?

Bagger is starting to be used like " Chopper "


Edit :   ok, I looked at the bags again and realized it is an FXDXT... " T " for Tour
so, I'll give ya the bagger point ...but you know what I mean.

Cool shot,...........but it's not a bagger like the title states.    

Next time do the wheelie on a "Bagger" for the "American Bagger" magazine.

SONNY you beat me to it.  Great,......someones gonna buy some cheap ass bags, and then their gonna tell folks they ride a bagger.  Just great,...............I'm gonna sell mine now.

How many covers did you grace to date?
I really liked the burn out you did while standing next to the bike flashing a victory sign with one hand while using the other hand to hold the front brake and control the throttle. 

[howard kelly]

let's see...

yes it is the bike I want to sell

When they introduced their magaaine they specified that a bagger to them is a bike with bags that you use to tour--mine does that quite well

here is a bagger doing a wheelie--not a great one because its a stock 103 (dog engine really)


and yes the Dyna is still for sale

[hdpegscraper]

Ahh.. Gotta love those T-Sports, You should have expanded the bags full size if they are gona brand it a bagger. But nun the less, that is one fine bike.

Just need some Harley lead weights in that tour pack!

[Sonny S.]

RG,

That is a factory Harley Touring bike. Bagger ?  some say yes
I look at baggers as FLH chassis bikes that don't have tour paks.
I've always called anything with a factory tour pak a dresser.
I've never considered just any bike with a set of leather saddle bags a bagger... not even a Heritage Softail. Which I now see is called a Softy  .   A FatBoy is now a Fatty    A Road King is now a King or RK A Street Glide is now an SG ( sorry Super Glide..you lose )   An Electra Glide is now an EG or just a Glide  ...   you get the point.... RG   
Ya know, these names must have come from text messages.
These day's the term Bagger is being used for anything with bags to an Ultra Classic.

Either way. Awesome shot on the cover Howard

Sorry! It wasn't you who did the victory sign , it was FastFLSTF, I think.

Dyna, Bagger...whatever, who cares...the real point here is that Howard really should be on the cover of "Hot Unicycle"

Good wheelie regardless of bike. 

Here's a bagger wheelie.  I don't know who it is, just ran across it on the net.

I think that's the Full Sac dude.

he don't coun't... this is Howard's thread, and he made the cover 

[howard kelly]

Wow.  Awesome.  As a fellow enthusiast I am sure glad you are wearing a helmet etc.  I think back to stuff like Indian Larry and I wonder why somebody would do something so on the edge and not at least take basic precautions.  Maybe the wisdom is a function of old age.

[Skullfork]

Wished I could do that ...awesome!!

[bigpete1]

if you know anything this is a fxdxt which came with saddle bags and fairing so for you nasayers this really is a bagger of sorts and super cool bike at that ,congrats and i wish i had the extra cash to own that bike .pete
