After taking a road trip on my sport bike, l have finally come to terms with the fact that my bike is great for commuting and riding around town, but it is not a good bike for riding over an hour or two. My back hurt, my ass hurt, and my foot fell asleep. So l have been thinking about getting a different bike and calling my sport bike itch scratched.
That being said, if l was to get a sport-touring bike, which would be great for the open road, it would not be great for commuting. I also considered an adventure bike, but l am not sure how well they do on a road trip.
In short, l guess l have come to the conclusion that no one bike can do it all. So now l am considering getting another bike. I have never owned more than one bike at the same time, but l know a lot of people here have several bikes. For those of you who have more than one bike, what are the pros and cons? Do you find that you actually ride them all, or do you end up riding one while the others collect dust? Any other thoughts on this?
