I get the feelin you really do not want it back based on your comments... especially about your friend buying it.
I wouldn't mind at all if he got it. He rarely rides, unless it's with me. Then I could have both of my bikes out at once. I would get a lot of enjoyment out of that. I know how meticulous my friend is with his bikes and his cars. His Viper is from the early 90's and he still has only 2000 miles on it. His Vette is also from the 90's and has 7000 miles on it. His 95th Anniversary Springer has 7000 miles on it and I thought he was going to cry when we got caught in the rain this summer. The bike has never been wet before. His 03 SE RK is really decked out and has about 11,000 miles. He sold his Ultra to another friend of ours last summer. He keeps them all perfect at all times and doesn't ride anything hard. Plus, we live close to each other and he is probably one of the nicest people I have ever met. I would be pleased to see him get the bike, but short of that, I will likely have to get it back myself and then have to store it at his garage anyway. So, yes, I'd like it back, but him having it would certainly be the next best thing, or maybe even a better solution. He is intending to trade his 95th Springer for this bike though. I think he has every 95th accessory available on it and like I said, he keeps it immaculate. If you happen to know anyone looking for one of these, let me know. I told him before that he should sell it outright and then just go buy the other bike. He may also be trading his SE RK for an 09 SE Ultra, so he's in the wheeling and dealing mode right now trying to get the bikes he wants in his garage.
