My Friends Choice.
#11
You can only do so much, whether its friends or family. As an adult, your friend weighed the options and made a decision based on his idea of what was important for him.
I understand you were compelled to do what you thought was right, and as a friend, its admirable, but at the end of the day, it's his money, his decision, and his bike.

He totaled his 2016 Heritage a couple of months ago. Got $12,500.00 from insurance. He found a couple that he liked in Norman OK. We in Waco. So we drove aways. 1st one a 2020 Heritage. M8. At HD dealer. Only mods. Pipes and air cleaner. Other than that all stock. 15,00 miles at $14,750.00. Out the door. He could have come back and negotiated. Next one at Indian dealer. 2013 Heritage. Twin Cam. 11,500 miles. Open air cleaner. Straight pipes out to fishtail. No way to tell if tune had been done. Ape hangers at a little over shoulder level. Add on extended saddlebags that looked flimsy to me. No cruise control. $11,795 out the door. I tried to talk him into the 2020. Which would have been my choice. He like the way the 2013 looked. He rode both. He got what he wanted. He got the way it looked. He is happy. So far. I have a 2007 Ultra with the 96 CI and a 2018 Ultra with 107 CI. So I know from experience .What you think?
If he got 14.5 from the wreck he would’ve bought the other bike.
Maybe you should’ve given him an extra 2k out of your pocket?

Sometimes I'll offer my advice, depending on the friend. One has to buy some pile of junk that he finds somewhere, it goes to his garage and never sees the light of day again. Another keeps buying old snowmobiles even though we don't get much snow around here anymore. Ultimately, they're going to do what they're gonna do. I don't get it but to each their own!
