Default Do you suffer from M.A.D.?

Motorcycle acquisition disorder that is. I know that I do. It has been quite a while since I have had more than one bike. I guess it is kind of under control. Wonder when it will flare up again.

The appropriate prescription for this disorder is lackoffundsincheckingaccount. Seems to work.

I think I have something akin to it though... C.A.S. = Chrome Aquisition Syndrome.

I used to have a garage. I had 4 bikes at the same time for a while.

Mines under control, and it only took 5 to cure it. Sure I can ride 2 at a time, but not 5.

That's the beauty of having multiple riders in the family. My wife has a Softail Custom I can ride whenever I want, and my daughter has a Sportster I take out for a blast every now & then.

There's no such thing as having too many motorcycles...
