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.

I have two, how about you?

 

Im getting another next year....

 

I've been saying the same thing for years. Buy a Bagger and leave it alone. And have a beater, barhopper, for fun. All the money folks spend on one bike could easily pay for a beater barhopper. BUT what do they do? They waste money on chrome and other PUZZY accessories that don't do squat. This whole Harley "experience" is being overtaken by RUBS and wannabees. 90% don't ride any more. They just polish the chrome until it's dull, put on their vest with all the patches, ride 1.5 miles to "bike night", then stand in the parking lot with all the other RUBS and talk about chrome.

But, to give my 2 cents, that 1st choice bike will outlast the new junk Harley puts out. Don't give up on her. Just put in the time to keep her going and enjoy it. Spend more time on your 1st choice ride and it won't let you down.

 

My other bike is not a Harley but I bought a new Deluxe for the same reasons you stated. Love them both. The Triumph is just plain cool old school but the Deluxe is in a different league. The Deluxe feels like a leather recliner on 2 wheels and makes the Triumph feel like a dirt bike.

 

Yup, got two. But not because of reliability issues, my Sportster has sentimental value. I bought my Ironhead new in '83 and she still runs like a champ! I'll be passing her on to my son one of these days...

 

My sig keeps filling up.... And so does my shed..... The addition I put on last year is already maxed out and I don't have the sidecar home yet......

 

Got 3 but only 2 softails. Sig shows them.

 

I want two but can't decide if I want a big touring whopper and turn my softail into a solo hot-rod or get a hot-rod Dyna and keep the softail as sort of a combo tourer/ solo hot-rodder.

It's driving me crazy!

 

I'm really wanting to pick up a older Evo softail to strip down on the cheap to make it my little hot rod bike and keep the bagger for longer needed rides. Best of both worlds. And workin on the older Evo softails is so much easier and cheaper vs the new 200 rear tires that's why I sold my 2006 train.

 

Got two also; Fatboy is set up for solo riding, Trike for touring
