JOG If you think he is a likely statistic, I recommend ya dont sell to him, Its just not something ya need on your heart if it goes badly.. Yea, I know
"If I dont sell him a bike, someone else will.." Well,, then its on them, innit?
Yeah... I had a friend who sold a "Dukes of Hazzard" car to a couple of teenage yahoos and the next night they wrapped it around a light pole and killed themselves. He always felt guilty for that. I told the kid the bike is not a rocket, it is for putting around town and short weekend rides around the lake. I didn't hear back from him.
