Default If it was your family member???

If you and one of your immediate family members were very close Harley fans and he was killed in a bike crash, what would you do with the bike. Would you restore in his memory or send it to the junk yard??

I guess it'd depend on how bad of a shape it was in and how my money was. Right now, I couldn't afford to restore it, so I'd try to sell it, which is what I hope my wife does if it happens to me.

I'm in the restore it and ride it camp if it is affordable. In today's economy, a real possibility is that you simply can't afford an expensive restoration even if that is what you would like. But if the expense isn't an issue, I think the more relevant question is - What do you think that HE would have liked you to do with the bike?
