I would not cut myself short on a good bike. Ask $5,000 and dicker down to $4,000 as a bottom price. If it is clean and well kept with low milage you will get it.
Go ahead and cut Yamaha up if you want to. I am saving up for my next down payment on a new one. I have a hole $ saved and by the time the new Venture comes out I will be ready.
I just bought a class C MH from a friend that went to a bigger one. It is on a 77 Ford chassis with a 460 with 61,000 miles. He took very good care of it and I got it at a price that I could not turn down.
Don first I would like to Thank you for what you are doing for your brother. I know he appreciates what you are doing and prayers sent for a full recovery of that dreadful disease.
Sorry to see you leave ED but you know what you want and need to do. Wish you the best in what ever you do. And like MR. Spock says ( Live long and Prosper).
Glad to hear everything is going well. Stay with the exercises and eating well does help. My older brother has had two heart surgery's and is doing very well.
