no insurance
+still making payments
not very smart

Thing is... who wouldn't have let the guy sit on the bike? I probably would have too. But then again I have full coverage and my bike is paid for.

I had something like that happen to me. Sold my '88 Katana a few years ago and the guy gets on it to take it for a spin. Prob is he either was a new rider or hadn't ridden in YEARS and he just about laid it down. He bought it but had me worried for a sec.

Guy should've got a current photo driver's license from the "buyer." Hard lesson and what a way to say good bye to a few grand!

Ouch...I feel bad for the guy. I bet he trusts no one ever from now on. That was a real expensive lesson to be learned.

When I sold my TLR, I let the guy test ride it. But of course he left me his truck and his keys, so no worries.

At the very least, I would have asked for his drivers license.

Should have hold on to his driver license or make a copy or it before the test drive. Also the bike is uninsured. What would happen if the guy test drives and hits something or gets into an accident?

I feel sorry for the buyer but he should have been more careful .... lesson learned.

I doubt it. Even if he does bikes are so difficult to recover. That is if the bonehead that stole it is not trying to keep it and also keep it the same as it was when he ran off with it.

It wasnt a test drive. the guy that stole it asked if you could take ti our for a ride and the owner said NO!. then 5 min later the owner had it running and the guy asked if he could sit on and it and the owner said yes. as soon as he sat on it he put it in gear and took off. owner tried to follow in his car but lost him.
