Second (or third) bike/bar hopper?
This has probably been discussed before but I couldn't find any threads that were recent, so I'll ask again:
How many of you have another bike (or more) for just running around, bar hopping, riding twisties, bike nights, whatever? I love my SG but lately I've been getting the jones for another bike to keep the SG company...gotta say I really like the vibe of the Fat Bob.
Anyone have any issues with multiple bikes around, besides cost and garage space? Do you find yourself riding one more than the other? Ever regret either purchase?
Thanks!

I originally bought a Slim as my do everything go everywhere bike but after 1300 miles I knew my butt couldn't take long out of state trips. I got a great deal on an Electra Glide over winter and love having the option of riding either bike depending on where I'm going or who I am going riding with. Insurance was not that much more (like $80) to add the 2nd one, garage space was my biggest issue so I bought a bike jack so I can maneuver it into the corner easier vs trying to back it in. No regrets.

I have the three in my sig plus a 1976 RD400 that I used to race, now is street legal, but still haven't gotten plates for it. The Road King gets ridden the most, the chopper is an occasional Friday bike, and the FX is apart to clean up all the oil leaks. It's good to have multiple bikes but don't make them too alike.

I have a 1995 Standard dresser I bought new, I'll never get rid of it, I bought a 2013 slim just for the short hauls, the Dresser got to be a pain parking in just the right spot so I wouldn't have to move that sucker backwards.
The Slim is getting rode more than the Dresser at the moment, the reason is the Dresser is still up on the lift waiting to get parts installed that are sitting in the garage, with the Slim running I have a hard time taking the 4 or 5 hours to install the goodies on the Dresser.
Make no mistake if the Dresser was the only bike I had that sucker would be done and up and running.
