I know a guy who went to look at a used bike. The owner said he would not allow test rides but that he would demonstrate the bike on the road with the buyer following. The owner then proceeded to grab a handful of front brake during the demo ride and dropped the bike hard at an intersection, trashing the bike and hurting himself. The buyer helped him out but of course said no thanks to the bike.

OUCH!!!

The moral of the story for me: it's bad if the owner crashes on the demo ride, but it would be way worse (for all involved) if the buyer did so.
