Which one? They all mean something different to me.

100th anniversary Fatboy was my first New Harley, so I'm keeping it.

110th Anniversary CVO King was bought to keep with the Fatboy. It's my hot rod, it has a 117" motor with 138 HP and 140 Torque.

17 CVO Street Glide, its a bike to put lots of miles on and trade in two years when it has 45K on it like my last three CVO road glides. I ride the crap out of my traveling bikes then trade them. I guess it says I ride my bikes, 4 months old it has 10324 miles on it.

I'm living way above my means.
I have an expensive hobby.
I'm challenging fate with every ride.

Different things at different points in our life. The 1996 FB we have will never go. The wife and I had so much fun on that thing. The current 2017 RGU is one of many that have moved in here. It says I won. It is my retirement bike. The purchased was planned for August 2018 but I pulled the plug early. My second and last retirement.
As the time was nearing to considering retiring for good . Wife and I talked about it, one thing that was first on the list A new Touring bike. It was paid for before it left the floor. I hope her and I have another 41 years of riding together left.

It means, I don't mind owning a bike that needs repairing more often than most of the other makes I've owned.
