Default Never satisfied!

I love my current bike (06 Street Bob) but it seems like I'm always looking for the 'next' bike or next big mod. Anybody else have this problem? I even do it to my girlfriend. She loves her bike, bt I'm always pointing out bikes she might like better.

I'm currently really liking the Rocker (with a couple mods of course) and I saw this really nice Thunder Mountain springer the other day...

I dunno, maybe its just me...

I'm always toying with the idea of trading my bike for an '09 w/ABS and all the new cool changes they've made to the '09's, but I can't justify the cash I'd have to drop to do it.

I do too.....but I really don't want to give up my current bike, and really can't have 2 bike payments.

I have the same problem. I wouldn't get rid of my bike, but I'm always looking for something to change!

No, I don't have that problem, even when I go into the dealer I don't give the new bikes more than a glance. I guess I'm a satisfied Ultra owner.

I'd have a different bike for every day of the week if I could. But back to reality. As many other bikes as I like, I'm very satisfied with mine and couldn't see getting rid of it any time soon. Plus it helps that all the other bikes I want are more expensive than mine...

Yeah I always look at the new bikes too, but my budget keeps me in check.

No, you're not alone. My husband is that way about anything with wheels on it. I cannot tell you how many trucks he's had. He's had everything from an old flat bed work welding truck all the way to a diesel dually and everything in between. Every time he got one he was always lusting for another soon afterward. We've also had many RVs from small toy haulers all the way up to the motorhome we have now. Now he's only had 3 motorcycles since 2001, but he's always lusting after others and modifying the ones he has. But he works hard and deserves anything he gets and if we can afford it I say why not....and the bills get paid and our youngest gets a college education.

I've always told him that I'm SO glad he doesn't go through women like he does his vehicles because if he did I would have been gone many years ago.
