How do you guys deal with the disease of buying multiple bikes? I broke down and decided to look for #2.

I picked up a 2006 Harley Sportster today for my second bike.

It's HD & Indian in the King of the Bagger races.
Many would disagree and say that Indian copied Road Glides.
Any of the V-twin classes have always been more my favorites at the road races over other classes. Used to go to Laguna Seca 3-4 times a year when I was stationed at Ft Ord, CA.

I'm still not back on 2 or 3 wheels but I am partially back on 2 feet, at least until my left foot tells me to 'sit the fcuk down, dipshit'.
Saturday, I decided to be stupid and went to a bicycle swap meet. They are a thing. I spent a good 2 hours hobbling around on my crutches and socializing, aka BSing, with like minded idjits.
I really wasn't looking for anything other than a pair of fenders for a project bicycle I'm working on. I scored the fenders for $10. Then, I found a beautiful Italian Guerciotti bike frame from the early eighties for $20.
The fenders are already installed on the "Old Farts' Lefsa Special", a bike for an old Scandinavian guy that doesn't care what anyone thinks.
Plans for the frame? Dunno yet. It's a bit tall and the max I can stretch to ride on. Possibly spend a boatload of money and build it up with period Campagnolo and other Italian parts. Build a 3 speed coffee getter. Make another fixed gear beer rig. Most likely, though, it's destined to become wall art for the basement Man Cave.

I've owned bikes, both street and dirt, off and on since I was a teenager. This is my current bike:
I never ride this thing, I think I'm going to let it go.

Thanks, I agree it's a good looking bike. I just don't like having unused things taking up space. I'll probably come back to riding at another point in life, but right now with where I live and what time I have available I just don't enjoy riding.
I need another bicycle project like I need another hole in my head but here we are.
Late sixties, early seventies, French Mercier in kit form. For $25, I'm not going to complain. The last Mercier I owned got clobbered by a boy racer in a Lancer. What's worse, I was riding it at the time.
