Guys with 2bikes question
I have two bikes. I have a Sportster and a Kawasaki ZRX. I know many people with more than two bikes so you are not forging down uncharted territory. It's great to have two. My Sporty is great for me and my kid to go for a ride, but my ZRX is an absolute monster. Modified to high heck, fast and loud. They both stir different emotions in me and however I'm feeling that day is what I choose to ride. It's a great feeling.
Next, you should get a dual sport with some knobby tires so you can ride in winter ... and then get a bike with a side car for your pets to ride in.

There's 2 in the garage, my 1999 EGC, and my wife's 1988 Softail. It's fun sometimes to switch off, but the change in handling between them is pretty marked.
In retrospect; and for my next bike, I think I would have been better suited with the Road King, and the removeable type fairing.
The idea of adding and subtracting tour pac and fairing/windshield has some appeal; especially when the same platform would be the base.

I am getting better (down to just four)
All are different rides, all are fun .
Insurance is cheap, and they give me something to do other than watch TV.
changed four tires this spring with my old "tire irons "
what else could be so much fun?

All my current problems are a direct result of an incompetent indy that did a bunch of work to my Harley. Every time I take it out, something new breaks and I have to order uncommon parts.
If I still lived in the States, I wouldn't have to wait over a month to get parts.

Up to this point, I've only had two bikes if I bought a new one before the other sold. Will be retiring soon, so I'm pondering getting a second bike to take some of the workload off my 22 year old Heritage. I'm not getting rid of the Heritage-it's worth far more to me than anyone would pay for it.
So maybe a second bike. Not sure which direction I'm going. I'd love to have another Sporty, just for fun, but that new Road Glide is calling to me, too.
Oh, to have such problems.

I have 2 bikes, but 1 is in Texas and one in Minnesota, for now. When I retire in 2 months they will both be in Texas. I'm thinking of keeping the Fatboy and hot rodding it, if it's in the budget. It would also be nice to have a spare if any of my Minnesota friends wants to take a break from winter.

I had two for awhile but it got expensive because every little thing I did to one I had to do to the other. My two were a 2006 Street Glide and a 1996 Heritage Nostalgia ( I loved the look of that bike) But you can only ride one at a time...
I now have two but one is at our home in Ohio and we have a small home in Florida to get away from the bad Ohio weather and I have a Harley there as well.

I believe 5 is the magic number because I am not in the same mood every time.
1 cruiser, 1 tour, 1 dual sport, 1 track day, 1 vintage restore. Now if my wallet and garage size would agree I would be set
