Pass down your Bike
Do whatever make you feel good but let me pass along some hard won knowledge about the younger generations , won't say all but the vast majority won't respect a thing unless they earn it the hard way like actually working and paying for something . Come on we didn't either at that age think about it .
I would make sure your son knows what you are doing for him and how much it means to you to be able to do that. My old man had a 79 lowrider I wish he would have kept to pass down to me or my brother one day, but sold it a while back to fix the house. While I understand why he did it, I still wish he had kept it to hand off to one of us one day.

two of 3 ride my bikes. College boys both.
they paid me 1000 ea.
they cant sell it or trade it in.
they must insure it
they must send me the $ to register
they must pay all maint & inspection themselves.
they call call it theirs but I retain title to both bikes.
Sort of a loaner bike w deposit. I cant ride 5/6 bikes so it was an easy decision.
When they are ready to buy their own I return the 1000 and it comes home.

tomorrow it's hers
My daughter comes home tomorrow from her 4 years of service with the Marines and at that time my wife will hand over the keys to her 07 Sporster and then will transfer the title on Saturday, my wife recently bought a 2013 Softail Slim to replace her old bike, my daughter can't wait untill we all go riding, two of my other daughters have Harleys also (and their fiance also)

hay!!BKA after your dad gets well have him look into a trike.triGlige or a frankenstein kit are great options.maybe a goldwing tiked would be good for 200K miles.
just sayin, don't give up as you are lucky you have the weathr most of the year.
