well, I have a stable of Indian Roadmaster, Indian Scout, Honda VT600, Janus Halcyon, H-D softail deluxe, H-D wide glide, H-D Livewire, H-D Iron, Triumph Speedmaster , Vanderhall Venice, Jeep, RAM 1500…so I rarely get more than a few thousand miles per year on any one vehicle even at more than 20000 miles/year total

it is a real struggle

 

Lotsa "toys". You must have a big outbuilding/garage to hold all those wheeled vehicles. How do you choose which to ride? A different function for each? I don't think I'd want your insurance or licensing bill.

 

Built separate garage for toys
Choose? I keep a white-board with basic information - last tire pressure check, last service, next service due, and last date I rode. I make sure to keep the rotation fresh, but the Honda struggles for attention. Definitely different function for the different rides, all different characters
Licensing is about $3K per year and Ins. is a bit over $1K (excluding the Jeep and Ram). So it is expensive, but it is the only place I spend money. Stopped flying which saves easily $10K/year in rentals so that is a little bit of an off-set.

 

Me thinks you are very similar to a certain rich blond troll here that has a Ferrari but must ask us a what torque wrench to buy. Just pay your butler to ride them all

 

I struggle riding 2 bikes, get into just riding one more than the other at times, was worse when I still had a cage.

I agree with 10 years max on an otherwise good looking tire. In your situation, I would probably look into getting a durometer to keep check on the hardness of the rubber and learn what to check for visually, I think you'll be fine. You might try to ride the bikes getting close to end of tire life a little more to "get your money's worth" so to say, or do some burnouts.

 

I just paid Progressive $993 for two bikes alone for six months of insurance. Surely yours must be a monthly payment?

 

Damn, $469 per year for my 2 motorcycles, full coverage $500 deductibles free roadside with Geico.

 

Nope - just confirmed. My progressive acct covers 9 bikes - $920 for the year. I pay in full to get the discount. The Vanderhall is allstate and yearly on that is $268 - so total for 10 is $1188

 

ha....not blond or rich. maybe would be rich if the gov did not confiscate 40% of my income

 

Bingo! Sold my airplane, saved a bunch in hangar fees, inspection annuals, insurance, parts, etc. Easily somewhere between 15 and 20k. Easily paid for my 2018 Sport Glide in less than a year. The HD is, compared to an airplane, an absolute bargain.
