[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1176057, member: 3828"] If you have the bike insured, and the potential buyer is a licensed, motorcycle endorsed, rider, your coverage will be in effect. You can easily tell the joy riders from the serous buyers. I've sold a bunch of motorcycles over the years and never denied a serious buyer from riding it around the neighborhood. Of course I always asked to see their license, which gives me some small assurance that they are who they say, and that they will not just ride off into the sunsett leaving their (stolen?) car here at my house. I really think that shit happens more in the movies than real life. I would probably not buy a bike if I [I]couldn't[/I] at least ride it up and down the street a bit. I've walked out of dealerships that refused test rides. There are other bikes and other sellers out there. FWIW, Yamaha will let you ride a nearly brand new bike with just a photo ID and a few signatures. What is that compared to your old used up bike? PS - Sounds like maybe Mr Burleigh is thinking of finally hanging up the helmet and going for a 2 seat roadster? Let me tell you... there ain't no shame in that. [/QUOTE]
