So im selling my little GZ250 and a guy comes to look at it.

He was about 18 and he drives up in his car with his girlfriend, then his buddy pulls up behind him who is a total squid. No helmet, sneakers, t shirt on his mega hot sports bike.

The guy thinking about buying it seemed nice but his friend annoyed the heck out of me.

I tell him about it a little and i start it up so he can hear the engine run. Buyer can not ride yet but his signed up for MSF.

Squiddy sits on the bike (without asking) revs it a little, then pulls away and drives off (without even freaking asking). I say to the buyer 'your friend is a jerk' and he kind of agreed.

5 mins later squid is back from his test ride. Pulls in and says 'how do you get it to wheelie?'. Its a freakin 250 cruiser!

I was so mad he just rode off without even asking me if he could test ride.

Anyone else had a similar experiance?

When he came back he'd have found me sitting on his bike.

So, that is why the Honda dealership hates me.

Kidding!

That does sound obnoxious. Maybe next time he will bring HIS girlfriend and you can kiss her while he is away.

I cannot image anybody, ever doing anything like that. What a "O Ring".

What I can image being in your shoes is while the "O Ring" is riding your bike is to walk and have a look the at the jerks bike. Turning the petcock to Reserve. What goes around, comes around.

I certainly would not want him stuck at my house. This is if I could think clearly at the time as I would be so pissed.

I would have hit him in the head when he got back.

Dang! what a creep that friend was. If that ever happened, I'd hope by the time he returned I'd have sufficiently recovered to close my gaping mouth and had some idea of a darn good reaction. Yeesh.
