Might have to sell, now worried about sabotage
Well, I might have to sell the bike. My truck fire is rearing it's head, and the bike might be the only way to keep it going or get another one. But after HarDlife's experience, I'm scared to death to let anyone take it for a test spin. I sure couldn't afford another rebuild. Just venting.....

Nobody lets anyone take a 'test spin' on their bike. Not without either cash or his old lady as security deposit.

When I was buying, the guy let me and my brother in law both take it for a spin! Nice guy. I'm not a nice guy, I'm a *****!

Test rides on Harley's, don't happen often.
Never heard of bike sabotage before until Hardlife's thread...when ever I was buying or selling a bike, the full purchase amount was handed over before the bike was taken for a ride, no money no ride. This also weeds out the tyre kickers. People who sabotage a bike or car etc.. must be really F%^&*#D up.

Thanks TD. Maybe if I cut out eating and watching tv.....????
Yeah priorities can be a pain, I had to sell my bike once when we adopted my sister in laws baby, not planned and on short notice one week old , so I had to sell the bike to pay for the lawyers etc... he's 13 now and a great boy and now I have a bike again. You never know what life has in store for you.. I'm sure all will end well.
