How long do you keep your ride?
How long have you guys had your ride, do you trade up, if so when? What's the average length of time someone has the perticular bike they have now before they buy new?

RE: How long do you keep your ride?
I have big ideas for my SG, but I am just wondering how long will I actually have it before I want new again. So should I be dumping a ton of cash in it that I won't get back? So I thought I would ask how long you guys keep em.

KMA, dude! I buy/sell on my whim. I'm at the point in life where I know there's an end-point, and frankly if something out there catches my eye, I'll buy it! Life's too short to be spent worryin' over what someone else may think of me or my "stuff"! We do all our vacations on two wheels, and if there's a question in my mind about it leaving us stranded or being unsafe, then yeah - it's gone. It's our ONE hobby (other than gun collecting), and I enjoy knowin' we'll git there!

Generally only when outside circumstances force the issue. Most recently changed because of a divorce settlement.

RE: How long do you keep your ride?
My first bike was a Harley Sprint SS350, bought in '72, that I kept for one year. My next bike was a Honda CL350 that I rode for three years. I didn't have a bike for a year or so, then in 1978 I bought my third bike -- a Triumph Bonneville thatI sold in 2004 along with two other Triumphs that I acquired in the 80's. I bought a Honda GL1100 Gold Wing in 2000 that I rode until this year when I bought my 89 Ultra. I expect to keep this bike until I can no longer throw a leg over it.
