Digs It. Welcome to the forum. As you have noticed the members here are very will to give advice, not just any advice, great advice. When you get it sorted out it'll probably be one of the simplest things.
I was going for the hydro-locked cylinder (gas filled). You proved me wrong when you said bump starting it and it purred right along.
When all else fails check grounds, then check the voltage at the starter. Sometimes, a circuit will test good and when a high amp draw, like the starter, is engaged the circuit will fail.
I wish you and your friend a safe and enjoyable trip.
