Default Dirty ground wire

Hi guys
Got a 2012 softail, had some bad start ups and figured out was dirty neg battery wires. My bike starts up great and rides same.. My question is, what would have happen if i totally neglected the situation?

Thanks

Potentially

Intermittent (and damn frustrating) electrical problems
Hot spot causing the wire to heat up / melt / create a high resistance point
Excessive current draw causing starter to fry
Bttry to not charge properly


I again stress = potentially

Poor grounding issues are a PITA
