At greater risk if you have 2 bikes?

A thought occurred to me. I am so used to the handling of my Softail, if I switched to the Triumph, and started getting used to that, would I be more at risk of being in an accident? Thinking that I would start to try to handle the heavier Softail like the lighter Triumph, and start to misjudge corners, or braking, etc?
I ride a Harley and a Honda sport tourer. There are differences in performance, handling and braking. When I throw a leg over the bikes, my mind automatically adjusts.

I had a great bike that was really old, bought a new bike for fast interstate riding.
End result: Old bike sat in the living room more and more because of the easy starting and low maintenance of the new.
Finally sold the old one because I didn't want it to sit and collect dust.

I didn't read through all the pages so I don't know if anyone else commented on this but it actually made me laugh out loud when I read it.
Not in a negative way....All the props to you bud, a bike the living room is my kinda living room...

No problem. I have 3 very different bikes, a big touring bike, a Dyna, and an XR1200. All vastly different bikes and i can switch from one to the other without missing a beat so it should not be a problem for anyone else. Years ago was able to switch back and forth from a Superglide to a Norton Commando with left side foot brake, right side shifter with gear pattern 1 up 3 down. Still no problem.
