    What are the benefits of hardtail over softtail?
    I did a quick read and found only 2:
    better "slightly" cornering
    cheaper (less part etc, cheaper to maintain etc)

    Softtail is less bumpy, which overcomes those 2?
    What is the point of hardtail except of being "tough and coool" ?

        There are no advantages; a hardtail is a frame with no suspension which is how they were made in the day.

            A car wouldn't hear the bike until it's too late.

            I rode for years and frankly I never had many problems. Some drivers don't see you, but that happens with a car too. Don't see the need to be loud.



            Perhaps I think differently because I live in a quiet neighborhood and I don't need a fucking Harley waking up my kids.

                I agree, there's a time and a place to get on the pipes and it's not in the neighborhood. A bike can have aftermarket/loud pipes but it's very easy to pipe down. You won't see tards like that blippin the pipes next to a cop.

                    So why did your peers razz you for going for the better option (soft tail)?

                        The same reason they razzed me for getting a full dresser . . . . we are all getting old.

                            The "which bags" has been the problem, the style I would like won't fit because of the shocks

                            I've bought a couple sets of throw-overs but hated them before even getting them completely mounted, they sit in the hall closet.

                            Lately been thinking about going single-sided, I just need a little space for a jacket this isn't exactly a touring bike.

                                Yeah, you deserved it, I've ridden a hard tail chopper for about 10 miles and it beat me up

                                I give a little rap on my bike and while my pipes aren't that loud, I can get attention from those that I need to

                                Don't feel old, When you see most 1% clubs, you will see some flying couches out there every time. They usually have beer in the trunk.
                                Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                think about that

                                        Until you have ridden with loud pipes, you will never understand I guess.

                                        Love going thru the tunnels going to Malibu with several friends, then giving a good rip on the throttle , it's deafening.

                                            I could still have my Harley in 20 years and it will still look cool and be cool to ride, that bike will not!

                                                I never found any h-d bags i liked either, especially the ones for dynas, they seem to think the shocks need a wide berth. I went with detachable boss bags, the profile works perfect with the bobtail fender and the insides are much more practical than the inside of any h-d bag I've looked in. you can get a case of beer and a bag of chips into a pair of boss bags!

                                                    I didn't want to put hard bags on a dyna, just don't see it.
                                                    the bottom one has my vote too, hell they make both left and right might just get 1 each
