Have you asked
why you are expected to dumb a large sum of money with not test ride? Could it be all three shop had people ride off & never return.
My LPBS asked for a credit card to hold, and your state issued driver license. I a crook want to steal one of there bike they could comply, ride away, and say someon e stole their wallet containg credit card & license.
IMHO honest people pay for the things dishonest people do to victimize business. Local Wal-Mart does over 50 million bucks a year in sales, last year shrinkage, shoplifing, thieft was over a million dollars. scarry.
