1) Yes
2) Yes

My bike is an 09 and is in excellent shape. I've let friends ride it, I've let family ride it. I've had all kinds of folks on the back wanting a ride. Nieces and Nephews love to sit on it and "pretend" ride it. I've never had an issue.

I'd let my Brother or my Brother-n-law ride mine. They wouldn't ask anymore than I would ask to ride theirs.
I let my granddaughters sit on mine when supervised.
Had a young neighbor (30ish in years) come by one day, walk over, throw his leg over my softail, plant his *** and start
talking. I let it go as ignorance. Just trying to educate him I did mention that years ago I drank at the
same bar as some 1%ers and actions like that might get you messed up pretty quick.

1. Sure, but you break it, you buy it. I’ve let buddy’s ride it that know how to ride. A few that had never ridden a Harley but owned several other types of bikes.

2. Never has come up. Not sure I’d be opposed to it though if they asked. Well, it did come up once when I was at a bike show with my Road King. Topless (painted) model wanted pics of her on my bike by her photographer. She more layed on it than sat on it. I have a great picture I’ll have to find a post.

Just not a good idea to let someone else ride your scoot. I don't want to ride anyone else's bike because " if " something happened i would feel pretty bad about it.

If I rode someone else’s bike and I broke it, I’d pay to have it fixed. Simple.

If, by non-bikers you mean chicks, then yes, many have sat on it both stationary and moving.

I LOVE to go to rally's and to York and test ride bikes. LOVE IT

I NEVER ask anyone to ride their bike and if someone asked me the answer would be "NO, I would never ask you to ride your bike either". Then I would tell them to go to the dealerships, rally's or factory and ride all they want like I do.

No one rides on the back of our bike either except my lovely wife. She did give permission for me to ride my daughter once!
