Bah. I don't purchase bikes or cars for any hope of meaningful resale value. Cars in the north rot anyway from cold winter start-ups and high exposure to road salt. In my head, a bike gets part of its soul from its rider and the journeys it has been on. Journeys add character and life meaning to, what is otherwise just a machine to serve. So whether one rides a CB, a Vespa, a lawn mower, or for that matter, even a Harley - it is what you put in and what you value getting out. If you want $$, then don't ride the beast, especially in the rain. If you want vibe replay, then just ride and recall when we are happily slobbering in our rocking chair.
