you were a tyre kicker and getting your jollies at other peoples expense?

If it were your pristine bike would you want this to happen??

And to answer your question - for this particular bike, on this particular occaision - YES.

FWIW - and as alluded to in a previous thread, I never test rode it either and in the wee rides where I have managed to get out on it - I have not been disappointed

so would most people with private sales. Bike insurance is expensive enough for owners without paying the extra for every other strange Yob or YOD or whoever to go out joy riding on!

Good to see I am not the only one

Even if one did have the money, one might get stuck in the same situation you're in. If one was able to test ride the bike first, one would know if one's previous injuries were going to cause pain whilst riding said bike, perhaps resulting in not purchasing said bike and not having to sell an expensive bike without allowing test rides.

FWIW not everyone thrashes a bike they are interested in buying. I have recently test ridden a number of bikes and never felt the need to "thrash" them or try and get top speed out of them. I found the BMW FX800 to be a great bike without having to redline it let alone break any speed limits. Sure, there are tyre-kickers out there but they're pretty easy to spot.

And...I bought my bike without test riding it. First ride on it was from Auckland to Rotorua at night in the pissing rain.

huh?? gollllly, no need to snipe mate.

I (and my Doctors) had expected that it would heal within 6 months or so... and it is healing - just veery slowly (the accident was over a year ago).

I am more than happy to agree that I made a mistake in buying it on the assumption that I would be on it pretty quickly - the opportunity arose, I had the money and I took it. But that is my personal issue - not KB's (or yours for that matter?) surely?

Don't see any need for you to repeat the thrust of your snipes on previous threads re: this? Each to their own - live and let live and all that.

Its not about me (the thread) it about selling a beautiful bike - albeit regretfully.

no im not kidding - im not talking about whether a prospective buyer HAS the money

im talking about turning up with $30k IN HAND just so you can test ride a bike, that's ridiculous

i dont spend that kind of money on anything without knowing what im getting

Fairy 'nuff - so why are you posting in MY thread in 'On-line Trading' about selling MY bike if you have no intention of spending $30 without test riding, when I have made it perfectly clear that will be NO test rides? 'Biker Ravings' or some other thread may be more appropriate for airing your feelings on this matter?

NEEEXT!!!!

Yeah, sorry bout that. Didn't mean to ruin your thread. I can see how money and the image of wealth can blind some people. A fool and his money are easily parted and all that eh. If I win lotto I'll front up with the cash just for a test ride.
Like I said earlier...good luck with the sale. I mean that sincerely.

And good on the lucky bugga who does buy your sweet ride.
