I have a 2009 Road Glide with S&S 106" Big Bore kit, S&S cams, heads, etc., LOTS of extras and more money tied up than I care to think about but I do love her. She is my first Harley and will be the #1 ride but on certain days I would like something a little different. My previous bikes were mostly sport touring bikes having owned a Honda ST1100, FJR 1300 and multiple BMWs.

I know there are many Forum members with 4+ bikes but what is your favorite #2 ride?

hondo aka Big Red

A Moto Guzzi California Classic or an old Moto Guzzi California 1100i.

I can,t say it is my second bike because I
ride both the same amount of miles.
It is a 1999 Honda Valkyrie,it is smooth
and powerful. always gets me there and back.

My Bianchi.

And no, I'm not kidding. Nothing like a middle-aged, over-weight, bearded, tattooed biker on a bicycle. But I do it.

Yep hang out there some myself. Until I wreck 2003 Road King, my 2001 Low Rider was my back-up, now my only.

I only have the one backup streetbike, my CB550. What I'd like is a 70's FX, but can't justify more motorcycles. There are currently 6 in the garage (2 are the girlfriend's), and I still want another old Mopar.
