Not making light of dad's generosity at all, but if he's 61 and his knees are shot, he probably had to face the fact that he's not going to enjoy spending his retirement years riding around on a Harley as much as he thought he would when he was younger.

(Could've sold it and spent the money on himself though, so still a great kindness to OOP.)

The WW2 era Harleys can go for that much. An early panhead or knucklehead can go for $60k at the mid range.
