now to me thats really pants, no mention in the phone calls that they do not allow "wet test rides" also not one word about the £25 fee for test ride.

am i just being a spoilt kid here but not allowing you out in the rain is a bit crap isnt it??????.
I called in at Ducati Aylesbury the other day and was surprised to see the £25 fee for a test ride. They also have a £1000 excess in the case of an accident.

A mate of mine booked a test ride with 3Cross Motorcycles last year, I went along and was just going to wait around while he was out. They actually came over and offered for me to go along on their S2R demonstrator.

When my bike was recently in for service they provided a bike to go for a spin while I waited. A bit different from Aylesbury Ducati
