i do plan on using it as it is just fun to tool around with instead of using the ultra. like a quick run to the store or that 1-2 hr ride around. plus my nephew will going riding with me sometimes although he doesn't have a bike, so we can use this one.

Buy it if you can afford it. It's worth the memories!

You've already decided Bro, Keep it, ride it, cherish the memory. You'll sell when you're ready.

Thought about it for a second, then read Mark's post, said, nah, the Boys in Boynton'll notice it, and you did.

Mark, money available, in a heart beat. Yes, I'd ride it as you described, in conjunction with your Ultra. And she can share a ride with ya, when home, if so be it. IF money gets short, can always sell it then.

Two things in this ol' world are "IRREPLACEABLE", family and memories.

Sounds like a good plan.
