Would selling this trailer be irresponsible?

You have a 160 hp Suzuki GSXR 1000 motorcycle, easily capable of sub 9 second quarter miles, and a top speed in excess of 180 mph, easily do nearly 100 mph in first gear. Kid stops by carrying his helmet and wearing flip-flops, shorts, and no shirt...and a fistful of cash. He's never owned a motorcycle and got his license on a friend's borrowed dirt bike, but he's 18 and considered an adult.

Do you sell it to him, no questions asked, or do you consider it unwise to sell something to someone that clearly is going to get hurt, and probably very badly?

I am selling it, with a clear conscience. NEVER have I been questioned about my proficiency with any item I have purchased. The first RV I ever bought was a 40 foot Diesel pusher. I didn't have to prove to anyone I had the ability to drive it, park it, maintain it or anything else. Wasn't told that I had to go through the progression of owning a tent, then a popup, then a pull behind, then a Class C and after that, maybe I could buy a Class A. All I had to prove was I could pay for it, then it was mine.
I bought a shotgun and didn't have to prove I was previously proficient with a slingshot and then progressed to a BB gun and then mastered a .22. Harbor Freight doesn't care if I know how to use a table saw, even though I could cut off my arm if I am not careful.
I have bought a dozen or more new autos, never had to prove I could handle the horsepower of the sports car or the challenges that could be presented by having a 4 wheel drive and going off-road. I don't want or need someone I do not know baby-sitting me. I am an adult and fully capable of making my own decisions.

A lot of this may explain why the accident rate is so high in this country, and poor performance by many of the drivers: it's not my fault, it's not my responsibility. And possibly explain why attorneys are so busy with frivolous suits.
