Test rides are for suckers.
Cash in hand and title signed before any riding. Rear rides do nothing
Also for 5 k. I'd fly out there and ride her back home now. Cash in hand
I don't buy a bike I can't test ride. I also don't put cash in the seller's hand and sign the title, essentially purchasing a bike I may not buy.
I will work with a seller to come to some sort of arrangement that satisfies him that I won't ride off with the bike but putting my hard earned cash in someone else's hand for something I may not buy? Never happen.
I'll find someone who will work with me
