Crashing on a test ride

[DerekNC]

One of my friends had a VFR1000 up for sale several years ago. He let a guy he didn't know take the bike for a test ride. 45 minutes later the guy returns the bike and says he's not interested. My friend started the bike up the next day and found out the head was trashed. A local saw the guy on the bike thrashing it.

As far as who's actually responsible for damages, I wouldn't know legally. Morally it's whoever damaged the bike - if they did something negligent.

I took a GS500 for a test ride in Vancouver and they let my husband test ride an R1 but we had to sign a paper saying if we wrecked it we'de have to pay the $500.00 deductible
