decisions.....decisions
Well I have the good fortune to have to make a fun decision and was interested in your opinions...
I have only one harley at the moment, and I'm trying to decide between doing performance and looks upgrades, or buy a second harley......so many factors I know, but something about having a second bike is really pulling me that way.....not a new one just decent used...

More info on current bike and what you want to do while riding (either as daily-driver or "when I want to have fun") needed.
You've a 97 Heritage? That's an almost-touring bike....is it good enough for your daily commute and distance riding, or do you want to sacrifice some of its touring-like qualities for faster speed and chopper style?
You're bike is a definite cruiser....I'd say keep it as a comfortable cruiser and get a Sporty or Superglide for performance riding on the twisty backroads.
edit: As nice and upgraded as my SG is, I'm still contemplating getting a used Sporty for those canyon-carving rides, despite the SG being a superbly handling bike.

Really? That's your decision? Do what you want to do and stop rubbing it in to the rest of us with one bike.
Having said that...I have a Heritage but would buy a Night Train if I could find one used for a good price. Something to cruise on, and something to scoot on, know what I mean?
We can dream, huh?

Bikes are to be looked at like women , you've got the wife already she's there for you a comfortable reliable ride anytime you want . Second bike has to be the Mistress and should be everything wifey isn't , hot , fast & nasty and makes heads turn but not something you wanna deal with everyday . 2 are always better than one .
