Re:who here owns two bikes 2 Years, 11 Months ago

Hmmmmm,
-First bike is a 1971 Honda MiniTrail 50 (the little yellow/white one with the fold-down handlebars for storage)
-A little Bridgestone 2 stroker.
-Several other Honda dirtbikes and quads.
-First road bike was a 1983 750-4 Maxim with only 13,000km (went like stink) Sold it to a buddy,I really wish I'd kept it now!!!

-Had a 650 V-Star 650 Classic (too small for me-sold it)
-My favorite is my 2005 RoadStar Silverado.
-The little toy to rip around the farm on is a 2008 Mini Baja)

I think my next "second bike" will be a RS WARRIOR.

And maybe one of them URAL 2-wheel-drive bikes with camouflage paint and the sidecar.???

And one day I might just inherit Dad's Harley Road King Classic?????

?????

If that ol shovel is a good price, ya better get 'er for a tinker toy, Man!
That way ya can always have the Roadie ready to go, as you won't have the urge to tear it apart and tinker wit IT....
