You're walking down the street somewhere near Mission Viejo, and a black van with government plates pulls up. Out steps a representative from the IRS, and he explains that you've over paid your taxes for nearly twenty years.
A unique offer is made. You have a choice to clear up this matter. In the van, there are two motorcycles. The first is a brand new 2015 Honda CRF 450. The first in the country.
The second, is a pristine 1978 Honda CR250. It's all original, except for a pair of NOS Fox air shocks mounted on the swing arm. From the looks of things, it was probably restored by Joe Newmann.
Your choice. What's your decision?

I immediately say nothing to him, and call my lawyer. While calling my lawyer, I get in my vehicle and drive away ASAP.
Number 1 thing I've learned, you NEVER speak with an entity of the government that enforces the law without a lawyer.
Number 2 is ALWAYS carry a firearm.

The Shop
Anytime a government entity makes the choice to interfere in my life in what could possibly be an issue, it's never a bad idea to have a lawyer involved. You also NEVER say anything, because you CAN easily incriminate yourself.
Although, I know I am different than most. I put very little value in things. Complete opposite of a hoarder. If I hadn't used it in a year, I usually get rid of it.
I actually get excited about our annual "clean the shop day" at work. I get to throw out BS that gss been bugging me for years.
Oh, and for the record, I don't trust the IRS either. But this was fiction.
Try to have fun with this instead.
I take the new honda 450.
I'll take the 2015 450. The '13/'14 is awesome, so I expect positive changes with the '15.
HOWEVER... If the van contained a '15 CRF450 and a 1985 RC250 (see below), well the choice is obvious. I'd take the 250
Damn I had fun riding my buddies YZ 300 on Sunday...
(Didn't mean to quote you Tim, started to agree with you about the refund owed and decided to play along and get an upgrade.) :-)

I could ride the 450 for a couple of years and risk ever walking again from the dangers of flying all over the place on all of the SX oriented "outdoor tracks" while spending a couple grand on maintanence , then sell it for half it's original value.
I could have a blast racing the 78 CR on safe , rider friendly vintage tracks, maybe spend a couple hundred keeping it running, then sell it for more than the 450 cost new
IRS- It's Thier Money and They Want It NOW!!!
