1.  Much more room in the family room
2.  I don't feel guilty if I feel like quitting after cleaning one bike
3.  Just took inventory. My spare parts should last untill I am around 120 years old.
4.  I don't have to move two bikes around to get at the one that needs to be ridden.
5.  Saved over 100 on insurance for the next 12 months
6.  The Cobra bike now has all the necessary jewelry to go solo and that is a cool look

Don't sweat it Jeff.  You did Bruce (and wife) a big solid buying it from him when you did.

You took good care of it, and you enjoyed it, but discovered you didn't need it.

I've had two since '07.  I didn't need two, but I've always liked the 2d one much better than the first one.

They're all paid off, not too expensive to keep or trouble to maintain, and both under good shelter, but my miles have really dropped the last couple years, and I should sell one myself.

You tell yourself two will take care of those times one breaks down..... but that never happens. 

About the closest I ever came to that was taking the one with the better front tire.   Smiley

I finally took the back seat back off of my "Cobra bike" last week...

Very cool Mike!  Judy still rides but when I go on long rides she can't do that yet. I may go solo for the trip.  I really like the look and feel of a solo bike

I'd love to get mine in the house, but the door's too narrow, and the half flight of stairs too exciting.    Grin
