get a old Shovelhead for a second bike.&nbsp\\; They sound and look awsome and can be purchased at good prices.&nbsp\\; I only pay about $200 a year to insure the second bike.

I am looking at getting a 1200R Sporty as a second street bike/wifey bike but will probally get a Honda XR650L first.&nbsp\\; I feel the need for some dirt riding from time to time.&nbsp\\;

V-Rod!

Put a set of Bubs Jug Huggers on it. It won't sound like a traditional Harley (cuz it's not!) but it will be the best sounding bike you have ever heard!

Sporty Nightster. Would be my 3rd bike were I to go out and add another. Nimble, fast, great looks, fuel economy, and cheaper than big twins. As you have already have a geezer glide this&nbsp\\;should fit your needs perfectly. Hell, writing this I want one!!&nbsp\\;

This is one question that I think sits at the back of almost every rider's mind. For me, though, my choice of second bike is none other than the Buell Ulysses, and it will be my next bike. Erik Buell put his supreme voodoo to work&nbsp\\;on creating this bike\\; like he said, "I knew the ride I wanted to ride but didn't see anything out there that would do the job," or something to that effect. The ride he was talking about is the exact same one I always have in mind, and the Ulysses fits the bill like no other. Erik Buell is da man.

I have an 08 Ultra and an 07 Street Bob.&nbsp\\; The Street Bob is such a fun change of pace from the Ultra.
