How many got a Harley parked in your garage?

Up until recently I had these two. I just sold the last one a while ago when I bought a home. I plan on picking up another soon. I have owned many over the years.

Its 70 or so outside, nice and clear.
One way I feel like taking it for a run along the river, but I really need to change the oils and filter.
Then again I got whacked all January with the flu a couple times and just feeling better for a few days now I need to fully recoup so will take it easy at least a few days more - will help wife attend the smoker for smoked salmon tomorrow, then Green Mountain Grill the day after for baby backs while watching the game, then back to work I guess on Monday.
Maybe next week as no rain in the forecast for a week or so as far as I know. But I got to get the fluids and filter change.
Generally our winters are mild and there are plenty of days to ride during the winter. I like it cool out rather than the triple digit summer temps where it feels like I'm on the grill riding it at times.
 
I have had HD's in my garage, and worked on them...but my gargage at home - never. I'd never have a big block, just totally unsuitable for the roads I ride. But I'd like a Sportster, just stock so I can modify it to my preference, I'm happy with an 883...they were made to compete with the British 650's and give similar performance, so am happy with that. The one Harley I would've bought if i'd been able to was the XR1200 - wow, a Harley built to handle...alloy swingarm, rearsets, USD forks, 6 pot calipers, all the right stuff. Handling honed by 9 times AMA champion Scott Parker...why does HD ignore the one sport where it excells...and why don't buyers want an HD that can really do what a rider wants ?
 
I had an FLHTCUI about 12 years ago. I have the opportunity to buy it back now. It has some sentimental value too. But I was and am more into performance, so I'm not too sure I want it back..

Well not the XR, but my 2nd bike was a XL1200 and I still have it. Don't ride it much but I like to take it for a spin once in a while mostly in the hills. Leans better than others I had that sparks pipes/pegs on the asphalt. Well I've sparked the XL1200 too
