    I've got three which therefore means I should have four or five or six?

    I like that formula but my wallet has other ideas. LOL

    Got any advice on how to convince the missus that formula is correct?

    By that formula, money and practicality are irrelevant. Sweet! So if I could live by such a formula, I would fork out the $60K for a Confederate Hellcat X132 just for the thrill of knowing cops would want to arrest me if they saw me go by, and I would get a Ducati Monster 696 just to zip through traffic on the short hop to work, and maybe a BMW R1200RT for long hauling through any weather and most road conditions, and possibly a KTM 1290 (or similar) for those times when I want to spot a dirt road and turn down it.

    I'm not at a bike a day yet but it is always possible. Meanwhile, my old FXR roars on, beautifully unreliable but irreplaceably soulful.

    Touring Harley, my Street Glide will do nicely,

    Tuff/hotted up Harley, big cube, cammed up etc,

    Old vintage harley, they're good to look at, my '26 will do,

    Naked Ducati or similar, sometimes you want to leave it unattended,

    Some super fast sport bike thing, sometimes life begins at 200,

    2 smoke dirt bike, smell and noise,

    4 stroke dirt bike for when 2 smoke is broken.

    So by my figuring that's 7, (plus one, maybe some other reason will appear)
