Yes. If you hadn't insisted on emasculating your husband by badgering him to give up the bike, it never would have happened.

Hopefully you signed over the title already, and gave him a bill of sale. If you did, then no, you are not resposible.
I think you are talking about being responsible for the damages to the bike, and not about being resposible for the guy wrecking. Because unless you hit him, then how would you be resposible for the wreck.

Shouldn't be once the title was signed over. He most likely crashed because of human error, not a mechanical mishap on the bike. So it's his fault, not yours. Besides, it's "as is" if it failed it's his bike that failed. He might have a case if you knew something serious like the brakes were faulty and you didn't tell him. But it doesn't sound like it. So you should be off the hook.

Probably not, but you know how the courts are.
Did the man have a motorcycle endorsement? I don't think that will make a difference, but you never know.
As long as you signed the title over, there is likely no problem. But I would call your insurance company.

No, you are not responsible UNLESS there was something wrong with the bike without the buyer's knowledge...your husband could be found liable and be sued for at least medical expenses...Watch court shows, you will see for yourself...Peace

Was the motorcycle to blame for the wreck?
If so then he could sue (and likely win).
If not then it was his responsibility, but he could still sue (He'd lose).
either way if he legally had the motorcycle it was his responsibility not to wreck (even if the wreck wasn't his fault).

I hope you pulled your plates and canceled your insurance before he left your property. If he was on your plates you my be in a bad place. I'm willing to bet you signed the title over and he planned on putting his information on it later when he got home. I sure hope not.
Same reason why there are no test rides when I sell one.

Absolutely not! As long as you signed over the title or have some other proof you no longer owned the bike.

Unless the title was transfered or you have a signed bill of sale. You could be. Check with your local police.

No-- it is the responsibility for the buyer to call the ins co and make sure he is insured...That is his bike and his wreck. Sorry to hear that...
