Sorry to hear about your bud.
Anything to the jeep? Sounds like a fair trade.
No matter what people say, it's ultimately your decision. Weigh the pro's/cons and go with it.
I will say that I've changed my mind this last year to build a bike. Being a fireman for over 20 years has given me some bad memories and that's what made my decision. I've never been a Harley rider so I guess I don't know what I'm missing.
Whatever you decide, GOOD LUCK.
