Don't really care, but nobody asks cuz none of these little guys can reach my handlebars. I've let tons of people sit on her and 98% of 'em couldn't ride it if they tried...

I've let one person ride mine other than the HD tech.
Myself having always owned metric bikes. I didn't know if all the sounds and vibrations I was experiencing on my first Harley Davidson were Normal.
I asked a long time family friend (Harley owner) to take my bike for a ride around the block and tell me if everything was normal.

I have when there is reason. I have a second bike there have been time it was the right hing to do. I have insurance it is a bike not a person.
Had some one from out of the country come here for an event shipping his bike was to expensive. Told him to forget renting ride my other one.
Soldier I served with stopped in we talked he was a rider handed him the key we got the bikes out took off for two days. Wife understood
Just any jerk on the street hell no but there are times it is just the right thing to do in my world. If something happens . That is what insurance is for.
I m not 16 anymore I grew up some where along the way.

I would let my son ride my extra bike but only if I'm riding with him. He cant take it alone.
I have a couple of friends that can ride it, they will never ask and havent when I offered but they can.
with all others I know there would have to be a good reason they needed to ride it before they could leave my sight with it

I wouldn't care- it's just a bike, if a friend wants to take a spin I wouldn't have a problem with it.
