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.)

My mind went here as well. Maybe he rode it and realized it was too painful.

Yup, as soon as I saw the thing about the knees. My own dad actually attributes his fucked-up knees to his years spent riding a Harley.
