Default Am I crazy?
I'm looking at twin cam Fat Boys. I like the looks of the 2009-12 Boys. Spotted two 09's that I like, both a fair drive away. My current ride has less than 8000 miles. No complaints with it just looking for something more not my age. My first and previous Harley was a new 1991 FXLR. I added bags and a windshield to it but I would keep the Boy naked, I think. Anyway, should I see a doctor or just wash my forehead?

I think you should sell yours. You don't ride enough to own it.

@websocket Buy any bike that you like, and feel free to ignore any nuisance posters who show up.

The nuisance posters are easy to spot...

Can't have to many bikes. But I get it with the heat down there, I probably wouldn't be riding more than that.

Nah, many of us have multiple scoots. Even if you buy it and park it and never ride it, it's your bike to do with what you want.

Not crazy....

Don't need no doctor..... ( that should be a song)

I don't think there's anything wrong with multiple Harleys....

But then, I'm a little biased....

Nothing wrong with having several bikes, especially if they are in good running condition and not just a pile of junk parts...

Quite a few of us have multiple bikes. I’m down to 3 since I sold my Road King to my brother in law.
