Here's another issue. Prizes are income. Depends on your level of scrupulousness, I guess.

Ding ding ding. That is something I don't think everyone understands. The bike was 28k value which means next year it's income and I have to pay tax at 24%. About 6k just for the taxes. Once I sell one that money is set aside for that.

To me the road king does not have the old look. I have FLHR and FLHs, I like choosing betwen fairing and no fairing on hot days. That said, in the midwest if I could only have one bike it would have a fairing

In my head, as long as it is paid for I don't care. registration and insurance are the additional costs. Any maintence cost is a factor of miles rider and the same no matter how many bikes you have. Only can become an issue if a bike doesn't get rode enough and the tires get old. Batteries too, are age vs mile also. But oil, tire wear, brakes, repair, are the same for 10k miles regardless of how many bikes it is spread across
