Not a bike but snowmobile. Wife is currently going through treatments for cancer so she won’t be using her sled this winter. Figured might as well put it up for sale as dealers have no inventory. Had some interest that messaged back and forth and then a guy asked if he wired me money if I would hold it for him. He said he wanted to buy it for his dad. I let him know I wasn’t interested in wired payments. He called and talked to him. His dad helps him on his farm and never takes any payment. Said his dad was looking for this model sled but hasn’t found one. Since I didn’t care if I sold it I told him I would mark the ad sold until his dad could come get it. He told his dad it was a turbo model for him and asked him to pick it up for him as he was out of the state. Anyhow, I’m half figuring it’s a scam but Saturday morning the dad shows up with his buddy to pick up his “kids” sled. He starts looking at it and realizes it’s not the turbo his kid told him it was. He looks at me and said this isn’t for his son, is it. I told him how his son wanted to repay him for all the work he does and this is his gift to him. The look on his face was priceless. Really wish I would’ve videoed the interaction. Also kick myself for not getting a picture of his dad next to the sled. Anyhow here all the bad private party sale stories so thought I would share a good one.

Great family bond right there! I couldn't imagine life without my dad in it. He's without a doubt the greatest man I've ever known.

Thanks. Slowly improving but it will be a long process. First picture is from 2 weeks ago after Stem cell transplant. We were able to come home Christmas Eve, second picture is from yesterday, able to walk a little with the dog

Cool story!
I wish and pray the best for your wife.
I don't if it works for the type of cancer your wife has but Keytruda and SRS (Stereotactic Radio Surgery) saved my friend's life after being given 30 days to live. Mentioning it in case it can help your wife.
She, and your family will be in my prayers.
