I asked if I could test ride it as it was just the bike I was looking to buy. I was told no rides but he could order me one if I wanted. He said “But again no test ride it’s my personal bike.” I said “thank you, you just saved me $3,590 dollars.” I have never been back.
I wouldn't have let you ride my personal bike either. I don't know that you have considerable riding experience you are just someone off the street. It isn't even about you possibly damaging my bike. You could damage yourself riding my bike and then sue me for damages. But why are we dragging HPV Grasshoppers into a debate about LWB popularity?
