I'm starting to get my wits about me and think if I do get a second bike, it should just be one that I can ride like crazy and not worry about. The CB1000R, while not as inspiring as a Ducati, should give me years of trouble-free riding, and let me save the Husky for those rides where I'll be leaving the pavement.

Sounds like you made your decision.

Bout time you Man'ed Up. Is owning two bikes even a legitimate question for a guy to ask?

I'm telling you, the answer to the question "how many is enough?" is...

just one more.

Yeah, I think so. The more I look at it, the more I like that bike.

I know, right?

I think what finally convinced her was this:

"Look, we have the money. If I bought a bike and kept it somewhere without you knowing about it, you wouldn't even know the money was gone."

The only real headache is going to be parking. 2 cars and 2 bikes is going to be a tight squeeze in a 2 car garage.

Build a bigger garage.

I just sketched out my house and garage. After downsizing for financial reasons, the garage is only 300 sq ft larger than the house.

Nice!

Just looked closer at my finances. Looks like it'll be a better idea to put the bike off until next year.

I dont know how your House lot is laid out...But could you possibly buy one of those little sheds from like lowes or home depot and keep the husky in there??

This is 10x14 for 500 Bucks...
