Default How many of you think to yourself...

"Man...I sure wish I had one of those Harley models instead of the one I have."

or

"I wonder if I bought the right model and I wonder if I'd be happier with that other one I've been eyeing"

I go through phases, and I often later regret that I sold a hobby or interest thing after I sold it.

Just wondering if anyone else on here experiences these things.

Thanks for your input.

Actually that is very natural feeling. Wifey cries when I change so I just started adding on and keeping the old.

I do that all the time.

I'm always thinking that I should have gotten the Springer instead of the Night Train. I'd basically have the same bike I have now but I'd have a bad *** Springer front end.

or

I always wish I had gone with the Heritage or Deluxe because you can dress em out for long road tours or strip em down for cruisin around town.

or

I'll see a bad *** FLHX somewhere and say to myself "oh yeah, that's where it's at".

Your not alone Gaso.

I like my bike, I'm just never happy I guess.

On the round trip to Sturgis, I wish I had an Ultra Classic...

Not so much want it "instead of", but "along with".
Wouldn't part with the pan.
Miss the 124" Ultra.
The ol' shovel has FINALLY come into 'her' own. (Won 3 shows this summer)
There's a couple I'd like to 'try', but I've pretty much 'tried' what they have to offer.
IF I had to 'narrow' it down.

The one I'd trade my shovel for, in a heart beat, '97 Heritage Springer, in Red/White, with ALL the trimmings. IF it had high mileage, then drop in an Ultima BIG INCH motor and 6 spd.

And for a 'town runner', Buell xb12r.

For a non-Harley, what was once called the "Time Bandit".
It was a Flathead Power Knucklehead(only with modern metals, technology, and machining), in a stock '47 frame. BUT you could get it up to 121", with a 6 spd, if you wanted. Flathead Power, got bought out by S&S last year. The Time Bandit, is no longer available. Guy'd have to build it, and S&S is NOT making the big inch Knucks, that FHP was. What a friggin' shame.

I see a chitpot full o' scoots, I like a lot. But few I'd really want, or 'trade' mine for.

I am happy with what I have. Everyone has different taste.
It's nice to check out the new models each year, but I haven't seen anything that would make me trade.

Never... however, I see the work that some people have done to their Nightsters and just wish I had the mechanical know how and money to drop on ideas that some of these Nightster owners have!

Quite happy with our vehicles here. If there is something else needed or wanted we get it or make it for it. All is well.
