2nd bike?

Lets do this one again now that we have so many new guys.

If you had more money, or more parking spots, what other bike/bikes would you have?

I'd have a Vmax for short fast rides, and a KLR dual sport for off road riding.

What would you have in addition to a Nomad?

The server isn't big enough :)

Add something exotic like a MV
then a 'Wing - well, because
then I'd like some version of a KTM dualsport
and a Mini-trail 70 (green please)
and finally, give me the new Voyager today so I will be the only one with one

this should be fun

I'd like to have my '98 Yamaha Venture back if I could. Lost it when the wife & I got smoked by that deer.

Probably get a Harley Street Glide (Bike Night), Gold Wing (Cross Country Trips), and maybe last I would get a Yamaha FJR (need for speed)

Since I have limited funds my Nomad does everything all the other ones do

A KLR or KTM for dual sport stuff. A BMW 1200 LT or similar for some long distance stuff. Some type of bobber to just bump around on.

I'd buy a Goldwing for long trips, an GSX-R1000 to go fast and an Electra Glide just because I've always wanted one.

I'd have a BMW 1200LT for long trips. And I have always wanted a Ducati monster S4. A dealer told me once that it was patterned after thier 916 superbike and if you change the cams and knock a tooth of the front sprocket the 916 won't stand a chance. Wouldn't mind a bobber with some ridiculous large motor for around town fun.

Well I haven't ridden one yet but I'd get a HD crossbones. I Like the look of that bike for an around town scoot.
