Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
I rode a '58 H-D for 17 years, for 8 of those it was my only transport, no car, no other bike.
Don't get me wrong, Japanese bikes are great fun, but they're the Line 6 of the bike world, just landfill-in-waiting.
I've even had my Indian-built Royal Enfield for 12 years, using it all year round, and in that time I've also ridden and scrapped seven or eight Japanese bikes.
Biking is not all about attacking every single corner as hard as you possibly can, which is probably why I'm still alive after 32 Welsh winters doing it.
Sports bike guys love to slag off Harleys, but decade by decade we watch them come and we watch them go.
As a biker who has had a number of sportsbikes I'm now getting to the point where I can really see the appeal of a cruiser.
I've no bike at the moment but when I eventually get another one it won't probably won't be a fairing clad Japanese sportsbike which will end up with me loosing my license (or worse).
Having done the whole sportsbike thing I can see the appeal and part of me still hankers after getting on a bike with serious horsepower and riding it like I stole it. However looking back the best times I've had on bikes have been on my non sportsbikes, simply getting out there and experiencing the freedom not chasing the next apex.
Other than being at the TT on a sportsbike my fondest memories are probably the summers evenings on my 125 or my GPZ500.
I really do quite fancy one of these though:
