Well let's look at it from another view point. He's willing to trade a 40k bike that is good for looking at and short trips for one that's a freaking Kang of the Road!!! You'd really regret making that decision, but I admit it's probably fun to think about.

Something else you have to think about is that if something breaks, you can't always just go pull parts off the shelf to fix it. You may have to fab parts up from scratch or cut/modify things. Sometimes it's trial and error, and wasted $$$$. Custom builds are expensive to maintain.

If your getting younger every day, instead of older, it could work. Most of us are getting older and appreciate the comfort level. But the choppers do look cool. Think it over some more, good luck with your decision

You can’t beat a chopper for looks & the wow factor, but be prepared to work on your bike. Not all choppers are a rough ride, you will have to ride it & decide for yourself & make up your own mind on that one
