Default Two Bikes

How many of you own two or more bikes? I have a 2010 Fat Boy Lo that I love to death but iI am thinking about getting a Street Glide or Road Glide (keeping the Fat Boy) but I am concerned that I will be in a dilemma when it comes to deciding which one to ride.

I have two bikes, and have had as many as 3 at one time. Just ride what I feel like at the time.

Fat Boy S and an M8 Ultra. Having to say which one I like best, like asking me which one of my children I like better. That changes day to day.

Same here bb.What's so strange or crazy about that? Wife is the same. Nice to have variety if you can afford it.

I had two bikes a couple times over the years. I seemed to mostly just ride the one I favored. I rode the others just to keep it in good shape. I was tired of cleaning both, maintenance, and paying registration and insurance. I ended up cutting down to one both times.

I am currently thinking of buying and old 80 sportster that does not run but I can clean up and put in my man cave. It would just be around $1500. I also would not have to pay insurance.

I have an M8 Heritage and an 02 Heritage Springer. Yeh I favor the new bike but last week when I went to back out the 18 Heritage and found a nail in the back tire it's great to get the keys to the other bike and take that instead. If you are ok with 2 insurances, 2 services/parts then go for it.

Three . 1996 FB, 2015 Street with sidecar. 2017 RGU. Sidecar was transplanted to the Street this winter. Each serves a different function Insurance for all 3 is $600 a year. All 3 get ridden. The sidecar has gotten a fair amount of winter riding in.

I have 3, an 08 Sporty that my son has claimed, 2017 CVO Ultra (the we bike) and a 2016 Breakout (the me bike). I enjoy each for different reasons. Insurance on the trio is a bit less than 600 a year. The CVO came standard with everything so no real wrenching or modifiying. I missed that so I added the new on the floor 2 year old breakout and enjoy the making it mine and wrenching on it.
