While there are many many threads about secondaries, you don't necessarily need one. It can be good for adding ingredients into (dry hopping and the like) or for maybe getting a couple points lower gravity. You can also do it if you're worried about autolysis but most people don't these days.
 
Just like everyone said above. Adding fruit, dry hopping, etc. Imho its not needed
 
This has been covered on here hundreds of thousands of times, there's at least 3-4 threads a day asking this same question.

Read this thread-To Secondary or Not? John Palmer and Jamil Zainasheff Weigh In .

It covers everything, and pretty much has everyone's response on there already. Most folks these days pass by threads like this, since everyone pretty much has offered their opinions on it multiple times. So the above thread is almost the bible on it.
