I'm sorry, no matter what, seeing your Dad as much as you can is the most important thing Right now. My wife moved down to Fla from Mich before I did. I brought her Intruder down for her (and I ) to ride down till I finished my Move south and brought My Harley down. I just think that seeing your Dad while you can is the important thing. Personally, I don't care if ya ride a moped! Not to offend anyone but the situation is temporary, no reason to buy a perminant solution but, if you choose, My wifes Intruder is dependable and for sale cheap, and already in Fla! Good luck! Rick
