Default RE: Would you let them ...

I would say it depends. I think you can usually tell when someone is just looking for a joy ride. When I bought my Dyna the dude was a little hesitant and asked me if I had my MC endorsement which I do. Plus my wife was with me that stuck around while I test rode it. I mainly just rode it down the rode to make sure the normal stuff worked like brakes and shifted through all the gears.[/align][/align]A bike I looked at just before this one had a nice little oil leak I might have never known was thereif I didn't get a chance to ride it and get it warmed up. The one he never mentioned till I discovered it! [/align][/align]Sometimes the seller could be a crook just like some buyers IMO. If someone told me "no" I couldn't test ride then that's the way it is. Some people don't mind and some people do. I fully understand both sides![/align]
