I love this post because I was just thinking about this yesterday. It makes me smile to see others with the same "disease" 
I have four bikes and don't ride them enough, A V-Rod Muscle, a Sporty, a Kawasaki Ninja and a Triumph Scrambler. Can't justify it, but they are all so different I don't know which one I'd choose to lose. Someday I'd like a Dyna.

First bike was an '08 FatBob. Work went well, got er paid off after 2 years.
Damn cousin rode in on his Street Glide, and I took it for a scoot.
Dang it was nice not getting blasted with bugs!!
So shopping I went. Came home with a new Sedona Orange SG
After 5 weeks of zero use on the Dyna down the road she went lol.
So with the SG paid for, I went a different route and picked up a hotrod Mercedes C63 hahaha. Figured if I'm getting a toy, make it way different than the toy I already have lol

I could rationalize buying a touring bike as a second bike if I took a lot of long trips. But what do you think of buying a sportster and a dyna or two similar bikes.
The reason I ask is I love my softail but saw a triumph America, fell in love with it and took it home. I find myself hardly ever using the triumph as I like my Harley so much more. I still like the triumph but get very little use out of it.

My "twos" I've had seem to buck the popular trend of multi bike ownership. I had a Sporty and a Triumph. Then the Sporty and a BSA. Next was the BSA with a FXE, followed by the BSA and a FXD then on to a FXD and a RKC. I guess that combo is about as close to having multi purpose bikes as I've gotten so far. My next duo will be the RKC and a Tri Glide.

Ice bike - definitely not ready for that. I have a small duplex home with a nice driveway and a concrete sidewalk to my shed entrance that only fits two bikes, thank god. I even love my cage. I have a CLS550. Big benz sedan with big *****. If I get another anything, something goes.

In over my head
Well I know for a fact that you MUST have two bikes in case one breaks down so you can still ride. DUH.
I have a Deuce and a Triumph Bonneville and making some room in the garage for a modern sport touring Honda VFR800. So actually it is THREE bikes that are a must. Or you will have the wrong mix of machines... You need a Big road bike, a middleweight backroads scratcher and a totally modern four cylinder v-4 with Staintune exhaust for a nice ripping Ferrari type sound and great handling...
Oh and I forgot the Vespa just because they are so damn cute and I all ways wanted one when I was 12 and now Dad can't stop me from getting mine. To drive to the marina and go out on my yacht. Everyone at the Marina has a Vespa.
Oh and those Ducati Diana 250 Mark III singles make me pant with lust every time I see one that is red and restored and that bad-*ss Veglia tach just sitting there amidst all that alloy goodness looking meaner than a junkyard dog.
Oh and I simply MUST do a high performance Sportster because they are such a hoot to drive.
And.............................
