While Dale and the other two discussed his mental capabilities, Jerry Workman had gotten a room at a cheap but clean hotel less than five miles from the Hawaiian Sunset.  Then he’d purchased the local paper and read through the motorcycle want ads.  Two seemed to have promise.  He took a cab to the first one after calling, only to find the road bike had been sold in the time between his phone call and his arrival.

At his second stop, he had more luck.  The bike was one he was familiar with and the price was better than he had hoped for.  After taking it on a fast spin around the block, he came back and had an idea.  “I’d like to try it out on a track.”

The owner looked at him and asked, “You planning on racing it?”

“Maybe.  Have you ever raced it?”

“No, just used it for pleasure.”

After agreeing to pay the man fifty dollars for the trip to a local dirt bike racetrack, Jerry took the bike out—ran it through its paces—and found he liked it very much.  Back at the man’s home, Jerry held out his hand.  “Okay, you’ve got yourself a deal.  I’ll give you half now, and come by for the bike in a day or two and pay you the rest.  Is that agreeable?”

“Sure.”

Jerry looked hard at the man.  “I’ll even throw in an extra five hundred.  But I want this bike, so don’t go selling it out from under me.  I obviously know where you live.”

The man swallowed at the fierceness of the look on Jerry’s face.  “A deal’s a deal.  The bike’s yours.”
