Thank you.

Like I said, it's a simple world when you don't live in it.

I had a guy do the "I'll go to another shop" deal on me...I just shrugged and took the bike back inside.

It cracks me....you are buying a $30,000 car, and there's a breath of gas in it and you might get 2-3 test miles on it. Somehow that's ok.

BTW...there's also a liability factor with test rides. Damn lawyers.
