I'm sure that's hard for her to do, if I had the cash I'd sure give Perla a good home right here with Rosie. Papa Juan named both of them :D
On the eighth day God created the C5, and it was better looking than anything on the planet.

It's hard for me to even think about it.
I couldn't by Perla.
But, it seems like she should have a special place.

It is hard to put a price on his bike knowing how much he loved it.

If I purchased it I probably would raffle it off with the proceeds going toward cancer research.   If I knew how to run a successful raffle.

There's a bike that deserves a good home, if there ever was one.

I 'm of the impression that Perla is extremely well kept.

I agree! Whomever buys Juan's beautiful bike better have a garage, shed or shop. If not it should have a place inside the house. He kept that bike immaculate. He was Perla's proud papa!

I wish I knew somebody who could buy Perla... I Hope someone here will make a home for her....

  If I could kick a few of the other fledglings out of the corral I would give her a good home with plenty of premium gas and oil.  That's a really beautiful bike.

Oh, my.  Stunning. 

Have I missed something, though?  Reason for sale?

That is very sad.  My condolences to all who knew him.

For God's sake, don't fleabay it.  May I suggest taking it to a dealer for a consignment sale?  Something that beautiful needs to be seen.
