I'm thinking about buying the wife a bike, even though she won't and never will ride. I just think it's a good idea in case she ever changes her mind. I was thinking she might like a nice SE Dyna to go with my heritage.

Think it'll fly?

Jim
If it does fly let me know, I'll try it too.

"D" does not stand for "disorder", it stands for "desire". You are not sick, at all.

Yes, also known as MBS (Multiple Bike Syndrome). I'm currently going through the 12step program.

It is a disease, and funny how far some will go to get their fix. I had a classic, bought a custom. Wife doesn't like the custom on long rides and when it's cold. Told her next year we'll get an ultra for trips and cold weather and we can ride the custom on short nice weather rides. Believe it or not she thinks it is a good idea.

I used to suffer from this disorder called motorcycle acquisition disorder, but since I have owned only one bike for quite a while know I thought I had kicked it. With the possible acquisition of a new bike for the wife tomorrow, I realize that it is still a part of me. I guess it is kinda like how they say alcoholism is still a part of you when you are sober, it is just lying dormant. LOL.
Unfortunately I have P.A.D. (Parts acquisition disorder)
