Sure you can, I have test ridden several bikes prior to purchasing them, and in some cases, not purchasing them. I have done this with Hondas, BMWs, Aprilias, and a Yamaha.

I reckon 02 and BB are great mates, sitting in the same room drinking beers and high fiving each other as they laugh themselves into hysterics over this thread...

As in they are living thru a lifestyle choice, not a real desire/need to ride?

Great point - you don't call the guy who works in a feed lot and rides his horse all day a "lifestyler"

A guy who rides a bicycle around town to make deliveries isn't called a "lifestyler"

P.S. Spike, I would like to know the lifestyle of that fine lady in your avatar though!
