I have a good friend, we have swapped bikes 2-3 times while riding just to get a feel for something different, but other than that no.

ANYBODY wearing the same patch as me, whether I know him or not is welcome to ride any of my bikes ANYTIME... with 1 exception. If they have no experience with a foot clutch/jockey shift then I gonna have to know them personally...

Other than dirt bikes I have only allowed one person to ride any of my Harley's and that is a lifelong friend that has two Harley's himself and the financial backing to cover any damage but even that was only a one time ride and only down the block. I get asked now and then from other friends but in less it was an emergency they already know what the answer will be, first word stats with an F and second ends with an O.

I let my brother ride mine. He is not quite as fortunate financially as I am so he can't afford one now. It's something we can do together and I don't have a problem with it whatsoever.

I would be more apt to loan out my old lady over my scoot.

I let my oldest kids ride mine. They both ride and both have had the safety course so I'm not worried about it.
My daughter rides my 650 V-Star Classic and I ride my Heritage when she comes to visit. I bought the Yamaha from her back in 07.

My oldest son rides a 92 EVO Softail with ape hangars and hand shift so I don't ask to ride his now. I rode it before he did all the mods however.

Now if you don't ride a bike.......don't ask.
