3 bikes.. the only time one sits is when it's down for maintenance or a rebuild.

I have an 08 Street Glide and a 2010Ultra Limited. I pretty much ride the 2010 Ultra, but I am sure to ride the 08 twice a month. Last year I put 5k on the Street Glide and 13k on the Ultra.

Same except I use a Road King to Solo and Hamburger Hops.

But I wil say I am not to happy with the increased lic fee's but I guess that is the cost of being able to ride year around.

Be patient. Wait till you can afford to buy the new one and keep the Dyna.

I use the Sporty as a daily driver, never worry about rain. I added a Geezerglide for 2up with my wife on weekends and trips.

It is getting harder to keep bike on the road here in Quebec. The cost of the license plate for a Sport Bike is now over $1400 and cost of insurance over $1000 with a perfect record. What a rip off !!! specialy for 2000 km last summer.

Ducati for sale !

I bought my first new Harley in 1999. A FXR2. I bought my second new Harley last March. A 2010 StreetGlide. I put 11,000 miles on the new StreetGlide and about 500 on the FXR2 last year. I will never sell the FXR2. Putting new rubber on the FXR2 this spring and have decided to let my GF ride it until she gets her new Deluxe. Atleast it wont be sitting in the dark all alone.

i ride each bike about every 4-6 weeks and then switch. One is garaged at my brother in laws house and he uses it sometimes. The bikes, a RK and Heritage, are so different it's like a new bike each time I switch.

My rigid has been acting up lately and hasn't been used much. But ever since I got the Night Train I haven't intended to put a whole lot of mileage on the rigid.
