*A friend of mine was relating a story this morning about a recent sale he made of his bike (Kawasaki Concours). After meeting a prospective buyer at a location, the buyer asked if he could take it for a quick ride. My friend determined the guy was an experienced rider so he consented. The guy drove off and came back a few minutes later. Pulled into the parking lot, attempted to make a low speed tight turn, and dropped the bike!! Scratched up the fairing and did some other damage. My friend said the guy was very upset and completely embarrassed. Said he had been riding for something like 27 years and never laid a bike down. He immediately got on the phone with his credit union and bought the bike on the spot.* * * *True story. This just happened last week. The funny part is that my friend said the guy was only mildly interested before the accident. Probably wouldn't have bought the bike otherwise.* * * *Good lesson. If you let someone ride your bike when it's for sale, tell them in no uncertain terms: you damage it...you buy it!* * * *Paul * * * * *
