He said something about the high taxes to purchase new. So perhaps you buy the bike back in parts and reassemble it, then drive it on a fake tag or something. He moved back to Nepal, that's when he told me about his wife's car purchase. It was for a used Toyota Corolla or something that you could have bought here for $5K at the time. I have a Yamaha Maxim (1982) 750. He said his foreign friends will pay top dollar for it like it was a classic Harley to them.
