So, I been thinkin....

I've been thinking about it and realized that I tend
to find that to a certain extent; the more bikes I
have the less I tend to ride. Over the years I have
found that having just one solid reliable bike makes
for the most consistent riding. That's why the best
thing is to just have one bike. And it should be a
large solid stable highway capable / comfortable one
I feel.
For the street I mean, because a bike for the dirt is
always good to have too. Of course; it's more fun
riding in the woods with somebody so what I do is to
keep two dirt bikes in case whoever is available doesn't
have one or didn't bring it over with them. Three is
actually better; in case they show up with someone.
And I like to have a bike for sort trips too.
Something lighter, and more maneuverable than a heavy
cruiser; easy to park on sidewalks when it's crowded
and so forth.
Well, and it's always good to have something small for
just buzzing around the neighborhood - running up to
the hardware store for a few screws or a saw blade, or
going to the post office, or around the corner for coffee.
Something else that comes in Really handy is a scooter -
with the foot boards and leg shields it's great if the
rain has just stopped or the roads are slushy in the early
or late winter. And a lot of times women will ride a
scooter where they would not be enticed to ride a
motorcycle. So if you have two scooters your wife and her
girlfriends can go riding together.
And since I do all the work on the bike, it's good to have
a parts bike for it. Well for each of them I guess would
really be the best thing.
So anyway; that's why it's best to just have one bike.
. . uhhhh . . . well; not just one, but certainly very
few . . . Just cut it to the bare necessities is what I am
trying to say. No sense in having too many - it's just
counter-productive in general.
And you can see; that is what makes me the superior
motorcyclist - realizing that fact. And that is why I only
have, let me see here . . . oh . . ahhh . . . three, four,
and those three make eight, and then there's . . . ahhhhh . . . thirty three.
Uhhhh . . . well never mind about that - the important
thing is to keep it so a minimum. So it's 'manageable'
to find that to a certain extent; the more bikes I
have the less I tend to ride. Over the years I have
found that having just one solid reliable bike makes
for the most consistent riding. That's why the best
