My last bike I rode for 10 years and 80,000 miles. Only got rid of it because I wanted a stereo.

I will keep the one I have now until HD comes out with something I just can't live without. At the present time I can't imagine what that might be, because I am very satisfied.

Regards,

Bill

Been riding my sportster since high school. Giving it to my son. That is why I bought the street glide. I may buy another one when and if I have a grandson that turns 16. I will get my son to pass his on, then I will give mine to my son. He should be ready for an "old man bike", as he calls it, by then.

haven't been riding long. bought 4 bikes over past 5 years. and was able to break up with only one bike (first love, Kawasaki ninja 500). so I don't know what the future holds but I think I have hard time letting go. I am sure 4-5 years from now, I will find a new love, but I don't think I will ever let go of my current bikes, especially the Ultra.

Ride free and safe!

cheers,
ayman

I will keep my 02 FLHTCI until MOCO decides to watercool the touring series.
Then I will wait 5 years until they get the bugs worked out.
Then I might think about trading.
OR better yet, I will buy a new one and CHOP the heck outa this one!!!!!!!
Hows that?

I had my last bike for 22 years, I've owned my truck since '86 (200K miles and going strong) so my plans are to hold onto this girl as long as I can - CWO

I'm looking at this as an investment in my sanity and health.

I'll probably buy another bike or two, but this one is a keeper. I'll never let her go.

I am loving it. I am not complaining, but this is a "BIG MONEY PIT"; there is no way that we will be able to recover the money that we put into it. Since I do not have any sons, I'll pass mine onto my first grandson or godson.
