Hell NO, I shudder now just letting my daughter use my car. She totaled my pick up truck, wrecked 3 cars and doesn't drink.

I agree but there are at least 775 people that don't.

Back when I was a LEO, I investigated a rented Heritage that never came back. It went like this..dude rents a bike from a dealer. Dude (lets call him a suspect) claims it broke down and he left it on the shoulder of a SF Bay Area freeway. Suspect walks to the nearest town to call for help. Dude returns and the bike is missing from where he parked it. Suspect makes stolen vehicle report to CHP and tells the dealer about the bad news.
Fast forward a few weeks, same suspect comes to local PD to have his "special construction" Heritage VIN verified so he can register it with DMV. This is where he and I meet. I look the bike over and discover he has an aftermarket Softail frame and a new engine case. All the paperwork is legit..except I also run the transmission numbers..Oooops, the trans belongs to the rented Heritage he reported stolen. .Click-click. Nothing easier than making an arrest when the suspect comes to you.
Never, ever consider renting your bike to anyone.

I'll rent you a picture of my Shovelhead, but I keep the $200 deposit if it comes back with any drool on it.

Why I am always leery of used bikes(and vehicles) in general. With lots of folks bragging about red-lining and how they prefer to ride their bike like they stole it, I have to say no thanks, I will pass on the offer to buy it.
