I have sold several bikes in my years and I use to let someone who was interested take it for a ride but then one year a guy wrecked my 2001 VMAX and of course didn't buy it........lol nor could I do anything about it.
From that point on I said I would never let anyone ride it until they buy it and I have sold a few more that way.
What do you guys do??? what is your feeling about letting someone ( some kid who wants a joy ride ) test ride it saying they are interested in buying it.
If any of you remember me I bought my 2007 in May of 2009 and then my father in-law had a stroke so between being with my wife and her parents to move the mother in-law to a senior home and then get their home ready for a auction, I was tied up all summer.
I had Sean customize my seat, chrome my scoops, hand grab, carb cover, and side covers and in Sept I installed everything and never rode it again because up here in Minnesota it gets cold early......lol
Well I did ride if about 6 miles to the storage.
I bought a new set of Marks 4 into 2 stainless exhaust and installed them, after all these upgrades I didn't put more 50 miles on the bike.
I put in heated storage with a Battery Tender Jr.
During the winter I got ill and now looks like I will end up selling it this spring, It makes me sick that I am even thinking about selling it but I know it will just sit all summer and that isn't right either.
Keep an eye out for it in the Buy and Sell section soon...
