Default Ever sell a bike and later wish you hadn't?

For a while I had a SuperGlide and an Electra Glide Classic, even though I really couldn't afford both of them. I took the SG out when I was alone (mywife didn't like riding on it after about an hour, even with a Corbin touring seat)and the EGC when my wife wanted to go for a ride. I decided to go with one bike, but I wasn't sure that I wanted the EGC to be my only bike. So Igot rid of the SG and got a RKC so I could make an informed decision. After a while (too long a while),I decided that the styling of the RKC trumped all the considerable attributes of the EGC, and I sold the EGC. I dumped some dough into the engine, exhaust, and other goodiesand have it just where I want it.
Yet, there are more than a few times that I find myself wishing I had sold the RKC and kept theEGC or not bought the RKC it in the first place; I will admit it, I miss my EGC.Don't get me wrong, my RCK is a great bike, very cool, but a large part of me wishesthe EGC was still in my garage.
Moral of this tale: don't everbuy another bike to decide between it and a bike you already own. It will cause you nothing but trouble.

I hear you. I wish i still had my 84 Interceptor and 84 NightHawk S for the short 1.7 mile commute to work. And those wild hair, I feel the needfor speed moments.

Stone stock 1959 Panhead. It was paid for and not costing me a thing. Somebody came along and offered me a boat load of money so now it's gone. I miss it.

I always seem to sell them to friends, so I see 'em all the time anyway...LOL! All except for my "training bike," a 1987 Suz GS450. Sometimes I miss that one. Ha!

Arrggghhhh... I'd be beatin' myself over the head about that. I wish I'd kept my 68 BSA 650 Thunderbolt and my 69 XLH.

But a '59 pan stock... Man....
