Off Topic A place for you CBR junkies to boldly go off topic. Almost anything goes.

Do you guys let other people ride your bike?

I let a couple people ride my supermoto because I have ridden with them off road. I won't let anyone ride the cbr though. Except maybe my friend that's in the air force coming home this summer, we rode supermoto, motocross and woods together. I know he knows his bikes.

Hell to the no. Only other person that rides my bike is when I take it to the dealer for an oil change or inspection.

I agree with you, I don't like it when other people ask to ride my bike, even if they have their own. I just cringe at the thought of my bike going down. The only person who has rode my bike other than myself was my dad but that's it.

do your own oil change and then you'll be the only one riding it.

I haven't let anyone ride my f4i and I've only let one of my roommates ride my old ninja because he had been riding for a few years on his 600rr and he had let me ride his old bike years back when I first passed my MSF. He is probably the only one who I would trust on my F4i (if I he was going to let me take the 600rr ).

I just hear too many people's stories about how their friend begged them to ride their bike and then went down on it or dropped it, no thanks. I'm suprised at how readily some of my friends let others ride their bikes. I test rode and drove one friends bike home after he bought it because he wasn't taking his MSF course until the next weekend and he let two other guys at work ride it within the first few weeks of having it .
