Question: Test ride a bike before you buy it?

[b1k3rdude]

If I was selling, cash in my hand before you can test ride and I would expect to hand over the cash if I wanted a ride too.

This already been agreed when we we spoke on the phone, why after I got there this wasn't good enough I dont know.

I would have thought he was certainly bothered about an issue with the bike as your insurance would have been enough just for a test ride, he should have a traders ' policy anyway.

Exactly, I even offered to show proof of insurance. I think his dad didn't help the situation, several times he gave me his layman's opinion that was so badly wrong it made me wince.

The guy lost an easy sale, he could have had £££ sitting in his bank account but instead has a bigot of a father presumably still wittering in his ear.
