The only people I'd let ride my bike have enough class not to ask to.

I've never asked to ride a friend's and friends have never asked to ride mine. I'm good with this setup.

Only my son's. Two came over for the holiday and rode or drove every thing in my garage. You would have thought that they were at a carnival.

Only person who has ridden my scooter is the Dealership mechanics. And I wasn't happy about that either.

Me and my friends "share" our bikes. I've been wanting to get a Dyna so my buddy let me take his out so I can see if I liked how it rode. The same goes for them if they want to use my bike I don't care. If anything happens I can get it fixed (full coverage) I would be more worried about my friend then anything else anyway.

My son and only my son. At the age of 16 I let him take out my frame off 68 rag top corvette that he and I worked on since he was 10 with no problems. I knew that he was going to test the limits, but hey, it was nice to hear the roar of a car that both he and I work on together. Only family rides. He's got his own Utra and he switches off with the old man we ride together. You can ride with friends, but when you ride with blood it's priceless.
