If money was no object...
...how many and which Harley models would you want in your garage? In addition to my '05 RK Classic, I'd start with a Dyna Low Rider, then a Soft Tail Deluxe, Deuce or Fatboy, Heritage Springer and Heritage Softail Classic, and for the road, a Roadglide. I've heard a lot of guys say the Heritage Springer is a very underrated bike and is one of the more comfortable Harleys. Anyway, I would then have Russell Mitchell build me an old school bobber with a monster engine. I would then hire a full-time person to help me decide which one to ride on a given day.[8D]

1946 Knucklehead. (Year I was born). 1965 Panhead. Last Panhead, first electric start, and what I almost bought new in 1966 when I got back from Vietnam. Marine Corps kinda stopped that purchase. A chopper along the lines of Dennis Hopper's "Billy Bike", with a modern Panhead, and maybe a Buell, and a Cafe Racer.
As far as modern Harley's go, I have ridden them all, and don't know of any that I would just have to have other than what I've got.

Bill

If I had the money to burn and a place to put them, I like some of the vintage Harleys and I think that it would be fun to buy some of them and be able to remodel them as a hobby. I don't know where it would stop but it would definitely be fun to start. I've seen on tv some of the bikes that Jay Leno has and he's lucky. I think that he has some nice rides.

I often think about what bike I would have if money were no object. You see some amazing custom bikes out there that must cost $gazillions to build. But then you think about practicality - would you want to actually ride 'em? Nope. So if money were no object, but I could only have ONE bike, then I have to say it would be my own Wide Glide. It is (in my opinion 
) the best-looking Hog money can buy. Its practical for day-to-day running and long distance touring (with a T-bag and some saddlebags) as well. It should be reliable, and it's reasonably economical. What more do you want?
On the other hand, if I can have a garage full of anything I wanted...

Well heck as long as we are dreaming, I would have my Dyna Low Rider, Softail Night Rider, a custom old school chopper from a builder of my choice (NOT occ), a Thumper (650cc single), Indian Scout, a WWII military knucklehead, and a Vincent Black Shadow.
Be it known that I am extremely pleased with the Low Rider and if I could only have one bike...well I can and I do.
