What I'm picking up through this whole thread is just a shift in the people who own bikes and a sign of the times . Most old school or seriously into it guys are in the old mindset NO it's mind not yours . Old school types tend to see the bike as much more than a object . Late comers to this , well its just another toy like the car so hey I'll get another or whatever .
Not good or bad just a difference in life values that's all .

There is no duplicate of mine out there , one & only in that configuration . That's where I come from and it isn't that I would ever want to be in a position to have to replace , you can't without a boatload of time & effort and then it still wouldn't be the same just something similar . Just me .

That's among club brother's only in my neck of the woods and most the people I felt way with are long gone anymore so Bitch & I will continue to keep our own company for a while longer . Got one good friend who can ride her if the need arises but he's just like me he won't ask , another old shovelhead knuckle dragger .

Same. We often exchange bikes or out right borrow one for the day if ours is in the shop. We also have keys or codes to homes and apartments.
Probably beyond comprehension to some here.
I've loaned out my bikes to my sons who ride, when they ask.
