I bought the one I wanted to start with so why change?
Might add one someday, who knows.
My son will get this one when I can't ride it any more.
(Hope he's not holding his breath)

Heck.. It use to be every 2 - 3 years between purchase... Liked the last one so much (bought her in '00) I still have her... I did break down and bought a '07 Road Glide... The Ol Girl looked so lonely so I got her a friend (lol)
Ilove my SG.... I plan on keeping it for a long time. I will spend 2-3 years tweaking this one. Then I want to get it a friend.

I want to get an RG and do a big engine build. 2010!!!

I figure it took me 3 years and 40k miles to get it the way I want it. Now I'll ride it and enjoy it.

As someone on this forum has said, "If you get bored, paint it. If it breaks, build it." Putting $5000 into this bike whenever I get the itch for a new one will always be cheaper than buying a new bagger. I'm so deep into this bike I can't imagine starting over...

I'll get this one the way I like it, then buy a bar hopper.
