Test ride? In Los Angeles?

[the Ferret]

OldF7guy... I'd like to tell you the reason I can ride any bike in the shop at any time is because I am personal friends with the owner ( which I am) and that they know I am a good and competent rider (which they do) but the fact is the dealer puts people out on test rides all the time. I have been down there and watched people wobble out of the parking lot on test rides, with the owner, and salesman standing there holding their breath hoping against hope that the customer doesn't crash. He knows that's a test ride is the easiest way to seal a deal.
