No one really..Hubby has ridden it once and my mechanic but that is it.

In general if I knew the person and thier riding style well I might be inclined to allow them to ride it.My brother-in-law would be one....but he has been riding for years.....If my brother asked it would be a no because he has not ridden in years. I wouldn't mind switching with someone either if we were both interested in the other's ride.

I let my brother and cousin ride it. My wife doesn't ride it anymore since the handlebar change. And every once in awhile, depending on who and when, I'll let a good friend take it for a short spin.

Mechanics and a couple of my brothers who ride. We have been known to switch off and try out each other's bikes for short rides - nothing long.

No one. I'd let my wife, but she's too small to safely fit my bike.

The answer for me is no one. How about you?
I've let my wrench ride it and the day I picked it up from the stealership I had to have an emergency root canal earlier in the day...
my riding buddie rode it home for me.

no one else period.

My dad. He had to sell his Harley to pay for the hospital bills when I was born. Seems only right that he'd get to ride mine.
LOL dont'cha think he's pullin yer leg some ? hahahahaha

If I had a relationship w/my dad.... I might let him ride it .. he got me into scooters when I was just a wee turd. his last bike was a chopped up BSA 650 and his buddie rode a triumph.
