I do let my sons ride my bikes. After all I taught them and got them started at an early age.
But NO one else.

MY SON WHO IS 26 YEARS OLD BORROWS MY BIKE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND TAKES IT OUT FOR A RIDE . MAKES ME A LITTLE NERVOUS BUT ALWAYS COMES BACK JUST FINE. WHAT DO YOU ALL DO?
If you can't trust your own adult son, who you presumably raised, I think you're saying more about yourself than anything else!

As for the general question, I agree with dhoward; it's just a thing, so if someone's qualified - and a friend, of course - why not?
I couldnt agree more. If I were to treat my children that way I think it would bury a thorn so deep I might never get it out. Its just a piece of damn iron; they are making more every day.

I have friends who I let borrow my bike or cars anytime.

No, I do not share my bike and think if someone wants to ride one they should buy their own.

I asked a buddy of mine to take mine out for a spin after I upgraded the exhaust, only so I could hear how it sounded coming up the road, other than that, Don't ask to ride my bike and I want ask to ride your b!tch.
