Be carfull here. As an inusrance agent; I can tell you that a lot of insurance companies won't pay out on a claim if the person riding not a listed insured on the policy (for motorcycles). Most car insurance co's will pay for an authorized user claim; but check to make sure.

I never loan money, car, motorcycle, trailer or any property of value to anyone.

I will help anyone, just not by loaning stuff.

There are a couple of people I would let ride one of my bikes, but I have to really trust them.

Well said.

Friends I know that can ride, sure no problem..


I'm not gonna toss my keys to a perfect stranger but there are quite a few on this forum, whom I've yet to meet in person, that I'd toss the keys to.

only one person...my best friend and long distance touring buddy. We switched bikes on a ride from Dallas to Myrtle Beach...about half way thru the trip...just for a seat change. It was interesting to ride his bike for a couple of hundred miles. Different ergonomics, nice change of seat time. But other than him. No.
