I can't believe all these people advising the wife to disrespect her

husband had plenty of opportunity to specify what he wanted done with the
bike, and he indeed did JUST THAT. His instructions were not ambiguous. It
was not to go to the son, and it was to be sold by the wife for a few
hundred dollars.

Unless the wife has no respect at all for her dead husband, the wife has NO
CHOICE but to sell the bike to someone outside of the family, for a few
hundred dollars. There is little sentimental value attached to a bike that
the deceased never rode. But if there was, it wouldn't matter. There is
only one course of action here, no choices to make. The husband already
made the choices. -Dave


And he's dead now, so he won't care.

The lady needs to do what she thinks is best, and what gives
her the most comfort in this time of loss, and what helps her sleep at
night.
