geezer glide
n.— «Mitchell-based Klock Werks Kustom Cycles has figured out how to make the “geezer glide” fancy and fast at the same time. The shop was picked for one of Discovery Channel’s “Biker Build-Off” events this summer and chose a bagger—also affectionately known as a road sofa—for the build, says owner Brian Klock.…Baggers—called that for the distinct saddle bags in the back—are known for comfort. “You can ride one all the way to California,” Klock says. “We put every gadget in this bike we could think of, including a Sony DVD player.”» —“Shop’s bike gets on TV, sets record” by Jarrett C.
