I wouldn't want them to know we had money, but rather what it means to want for things and how hard work can get you there if your smart. I'd make sure my folks and inlaws are well taken care of. Then a log cabin in NC on a few acres as our main home and a cottage on the beach in Florida. I would live my dream of investing and working on bikes. I still wouldn't buy a car for myself, but I'd buy my wife a nice truck in case she needed it (in addition to her convertible). As far as bikes go, I would buy a new ElectraGlide Liimited. I'd keep my wideglide and maybe even track down my old Heritage. Thats a tough one. Each of my 3 kids were bequeathed 16,000$. They each pissed it away on legal issues and lawyers. I wasn't paying it, I didn't cause the issues.

One would hope, however they are 2nd generation Polish, notoriously hard headed people and they got it honestly.

I'd still rather have a converted cargo van that can pull a trailer. Easier to drive - drop the trailer and use for everyday stuff. But yeah with 10 mill some things are possible

They make some really decent and average guy affordable toy haulers, both towing and self contained like a driving one. I would think it must be neat to haul to a distant location and base camp for weeks out of one location while you scooted around checking out the sights. For example base camp out of Durango,CO for 2 weeks while motorcycling the silver thread and the million dollar highway to name but a few of the many scenic routes in Colorado. Then in 2 weeks load up and head out to say Washington State for a few weeks of 2 wheeled touring there.
