Default need some help, advice...

Hey all,
we plan to come to USofA again next year ( South-West ).
Options we have :
- rent again a Harley ( last year over Eaglerider - Orlando (FL )
- ship our own Softail CVO to and from USA
- find a dealer interested in kind of a buy-back deal ( we buy from him a
used Harley, drive it for 3 weeks and sell it back to him at the end of our trip )
- buy a Harley at a dealer who can store it for us after our trip ( as we basically plan to come each year to the USA )

Any advice, ideas here ? If anyone knows a dealer who offers this service
( in South-Cali, Nevada, Utah, Arizona.... ) , just let us know - please !

Greets from Bruges, Belgium

Don't know where you're coming in to but Skip-Fordyce in Riverside is a really good dealer with rental service.

For 3 weeks I would rent one. They storage idea would be a good one IF you absolutely knew you were coming each year and for longer than 3 weeks. I would not ship my beloved Softail CVO from Belgium to the USA for just 3 weeks. I guess my final vote is to just rent one.
