That's a pretty shallow interpretation. All it means, at least to me, is that is the bike I'll keep as long as I have the capacity to keep it. Being Titanium, it won't corrode and it's highly unlikely to fatigue under regular use. Nothing will stop the unforeseen from removing the bike from my possession.
Furthermore, it does not mean I can't have more bikes. In fact, there are 9 bicycles in my home at the moment (well, 8, since the CAAD is right here in my office with me).
