I'd probably need to start shopping for a new wife too...because the one I have would probably leave me! Hmmm...I wonder which bike would be the tipping point?!!

Oh !!
When you said maybe you should start shopping for a American,a Italian,a German and British I thought you were talking about a new wife !!

I would have more bikes but at $220+ per year each to insure its not worth it, 2 is bad enough.

geico for liability doesnt care how many you have it is the same price for one as it is for six.

Not in MI, mandatory $220 fee per year per vehicle plus whatever your actual insurance cost.

My storm and honda vtx 1300 are about $600 a year, for about 5 ridable months lol.

Picked up the DLX tonight at the FedEx depot in the dark rain,un crated it in the parking lot and loaded it on my hitch carrier.
Even though it came “ assembled and tested “ the front axle was only held in with 1 thread of the nut and it fell off pushing it into the garage !!.
It’s on the lift and I’m going thru the WHOLE BIKE !!.

Never hurts to give it a good once over with some grease, thread lock and a torque wrench.
