On May 22 I posted a “Want ad” of sorts on Craigslist. In short, I was hoping to borrow or rent a Triumph Daytona 675 for a few hours. You can read this earlier post for more details.
After a week, and after I had given up I heard from someone willing to let me borrow their Daytona. Awesome!! I wrote about it in this post.
After weeks of waiting and bad weather on the weekends, he needed to bring it up from the cape on the weekend, this person has rescinded his original offer. He stated that he didn’t want to accept the liability of someone else riding his motorcycle.

So after a month, my social media experiment almost succeeded but in the end failed. I am fairly certain it would have succeeded had the weather been better on the weekends. He would have allowed me to ride his Daytona without having rethought about his insurance.

So, I still haven’t ridden a proper sport bike and probably won’t until I am able to schedule a test ride through the dealer.

Even though my experiment was a failure, I would try something like this again using social media. It has great opportunity to work.

Thanks for reading and happy riding.
