Default Can I take it for a ride?

Never fails when I take my bike to work someone always ask if they can take it for a ride.I let one guy ride it because he let me ride his R1 and I know he knows how to ride,other then that the answear is no.Am I wrong?

I feel never let anyone ride that doesn't have something you can and would ride while yours is being repaired incase they crash yours.

I also have to go with the HeILLLLLLLL NO! the few people that have asked me and said "I let you ride mine" I just say, yeah...but I have the money to replace yours and you dont have the money to replace mine...no offense" Im not sure if they are insulted or baffled, but either way they dont ask again lol.

Ya, I've never had the urge to ride someone else's bike and don't ask. There have been a few guys that have wanted to "swap" to see how the other bike rides but I'm not into that. Like someone mentioned, it'd be like wife swapping in my mind Reason I got my bike is cause it's what I want to ride -- if I wanna ride a bike like yours I'll buy one.

Only time I'll ride someone else's bike is if I'm working on it and those would only be very short test runs. I respect other peeps property too much and kinda wish other people felt the same.


Ya, I'm long winded today[8D]

No one has ever had the ***** to ask me.

There are maybe 2 people I would let ride it. My cousin, who rides for a living and my riding buddy who has a busa and a gixxer -- and only them because I know how they ride and if anything happened, I know they would do the right thing.
