You bin it, You buy it!!

[dannymassive]

You may have or may not have seen that my trusty CB is up for sale in the for sale section with a link to a certain auction website listing.

I've had lots of contact about the bike and have a prospective buyer coming to view this afternoon. Now, my problem is that the gentleman is coming a long distance to view the bike and has said that he wouldn't buy without having a test ride prior to doing a deal. Normally, I would be thinking along the lines of "If you want to test ride, go to a dealer" but he seems genuine enough and upon discussion has agreed to leave the full asking price as a deposit whilst he is on a test ride. The reason for me agreeing to this is that the buyer says that he has test ridden a late model CB at a dealer which rode perfectly but was out of his budget and he has ridden an early naked CB which he said handled awful - so before commiting he wants to make sure that mine is not a sack of spuds. Fair enough?

Now, is there a template document somewhere like those you sign at a dealer before you test ride that basically states "You bin it, you buy it". I'm not clued up on selling bikes, and don't want to end up with having the bike returned wrecked and having to give him his money back.

Before Paddy comes along with some obscure document hosted somewhere :

Isn't not quite what I'm looking for!

Take his vehicle keys and licence.

Refuse to give back if he bins it. Alternatively, go pillion with him.

People test ride my bikes usually with the cash in hand, but given the amount of fucks I give, if they don't have the cash and want a bank transfer set up, they can go rag it for a bit.

He hands you the asking price, in cash.

He rides it.
If he bins it or runs off with it you have no loss.
If he is looking to steal it or just taking the piss then he won't have the cash.

You can get around letting him ride it by asking to see his insurance for it which he won't have

What the others have said really.

If you are actually that worried just use one of the many Vehicle Bill Of Sales templates on Google and add something like this:

TEST RIDE CONDITIONS: If Buyer returns vehicle to Seller within 1 hour of purchase, in its original condition (save for additional mileage), Seller will fully refund the sale price and Seller will retain ownership of the vehicle.

Cash in hand then let him ride away, he has all but bought it then, if he brings it back with and issue haggle or give him his cash back. Simple.

Not true Depends on wording on certificate

Depends on how the certificate is worded, mine just says "The policyholder may also ride a motorcycle not owned by him and not hired/leased to him as long as the policyholder has the owners permission to ride it"

That covers you if stopped and you have to produce, mine hasn't got any exclusions/ extras such as having to be insured by the owner etc listed in the schedule as some do or used to do.
There's some stated case where wording such as mine covers you as it couldn't be plainer, putting more conditions in the schedule as some did is a no-no it they should be on the certificate to start with.

I binned it, and bought it.

You have to be the worlds biggest nob to not buy it after, and if they're that sort of person, you'll tell before they even ride the thing.

Maybe I think too good in the world, but I don't think they're many people with the lack of common decency to leave you with a hefty repair bill.

Who am I kidding...Everyone's out to get you these days

[devojunior]

just let him ride the bloody thing jesus whats chance of him crashing it .wats worst can happen he drops it and pays for bar ends and a foot peg

[Rogerborg]

Other-bikes insurance is indeed entirely dependent on the wording on his certificate, possibly qualified by his policy. You'd need to read them both to be sure, and even then if he gets stopped you might both get stitched up in the short term by lying/misinformed/idiotic phone monkeys. See Pryor vs CC of GMP, for example, and someone on here was told very sniffily by their broker that their "other bikes" cover was meant for emergencies, not test rides.

Also bear in mind the small but non zero possibility that he'll go and thrash the nuts off of it in the wrong place, and that a NIP will land on your mat two weeks later.

I should note that none of this has stopped me throwing keys to chaps with honest faces, once with no money in hand. As Paddy says, you can make things really complicated if you give too many fucks. Selling a bike isn't hard if you just extend a little trust both ways.

Well guys, he's been and gone.

Luckily he was one of the most genuine gentlemen I've met & an honest buyer. He left the full asking price in cash and went for a short ride - was shorter than I anticipated, must have only been 10 - 15 mins. Anyway, once he arrived back at my home, he shook my hand, and done the deal.

Had a coffee and some lunch at mine then left me with a deposit and left for home. Coming back at weekend to collect it.

Job's a good 'un.

Thanks for your advice guys.
