My excuse is the diversity of nearby roads and rides... dirt/off roads, the canyons, the long cruising roads, the backroads, the rides to the next time zone over. A sport bike for all the preceding, or a cruiser just doesn't cut it. But as noted, it's an excuse

My excuse is that I just want them. I'm not greedy. I don't *need* them. I love motorcycle and I want more than one. I'm fortunate that I'm able to.
As far as multiple motorcycles go, the only person I have to justify it to is myself. The heck with the rest of you.

I like having a dedicated trackbike so I dont have to switch it from track to street, I am loving the triumph now as a commuter/tourer, and have th ebuell for when we want to rip up the back roads. I also like the bikes that arent necessarily the cookie cutter variety so its nice having something a little different withthe buell. As far as addtitions, I wouldnt mind something more exotic like a bimota or mv agusta, and would also like a 70's circa cb750 since thats what i started out on. Would be fun to put arpound on locally or go to bike nights. |

Considering the riding that I do the Madura is a much better choice than the fireblade. Looking forward to longer rides when it warms up

I just don't like paying insurance on more than one bike. I haven't found anyone who will sell a "seasonal only" policy or anything like that. All you can do is tell them you're only going to ride it X number of miles, but that doesn't reduce the rate very much.
