I Need Two, How 'Bout you
#13
That reminds of some Corvette owner I knew. He had a couple for racing, a few classics, and a new one for road trips. Personally, I had a "middle of the road" one that nickel and dimed me until I sold it.
Regarding HD's, I only have the Fatboy Lo though at times I wish I had two. For now, I just put on and remove the saddle bags, windshield, and passenger seat when I want to. One bike, but it still has different options.

I agree, if you are an avid rider, you need more than one bike for sure..
I have 3 Harleys, one for every occasion but I must admit it's rare that all 3 are running at the same time... It's not really a reliability issue but I clock near 25k every year riding and one of them usually needs attention, maintenance..
The three bikes are a 1996 Softail, 2000 Dyna, and a 1986 FXR.. Of the three, the Softail gets the most daily action and the Dyna is much more comfortable on the longer rides..
The FXR is currently gettig restored from ground up and when finished, the Dyna will likely be traded for a Bagger project..
I love bikes!!!

Agreed, the more you ride the more you find yourself falling back on one while you fix the other.
I should have mentioned, I have a '95 Springer FXSTS, and an '05 Ultra. Bought both used and ten years apart. Now that I have a tourer the springer can go without a windshield, or T-bag. The springer now gets used for riding the twisties, day rides, and the like. She's a beaut and I'd never sell 'er. The Ultra is practical. I can carry stuff, pick up my grandson from school etc. Can't sell that one either, not that I'd want to get rid of either one.
Still, twice the insurance, registration, oil changes, tire changes, blah, blah,..

Harley's, at least the older ones, are so shall we say, maintenance intensive, that I need two. How about you.
Today, my '95 springer had a flat on the way to work, and the gas cap mysteriously disappeared. As a result, I have to ride my '05 Ultra to work tomorrow. It's only about the ten-thousandth time I've had to fall back on my second Harley when my first choice for the day was non-functional.
