I think the whole "hope nobody gets hurt" bit is understood. [edited for content] That said, I have a list of friends that can ride my bike at a moment's notice. If you are unsure if you meet this qualification, guess what?

I am just north of you in Medina, if your carbs are off bring them up and we can go through a proper cleaning and setup. If your willing to learn, I am willing to help.

So my question is, does this service offer insurance to the Owner? I saw where you asked them about Renter's coverage, but Toro for cars offers Owner's insurance with $1M in liability coverage. If this place has a similar policy, then sure, why not. If they don't then you will need to look at a commercial insurance policy for your bike which can get prohibitively expensive. $1m in liability would cover you if the renter gets hurt on your bike and wants to sue you. But keep in mind they can't just sue you for a traffic accident they caused or were the victim of. It would have to be because of something you did (like modify the bike in a manner inconsistent with DOT laws and that caused the accident). You are still required to keep up on the maintenance, and in some cases I would be extra cautious about documenting that that was done by having the bike serviced by a shop and documenting the tire age and wear. Personally it sounds like fun. I'll be honest, I have had the fortune and great luck to have near strangers let me ride some wonderful and fantastic machines, from Norton model 16's and matchless G50s to brand new bmw S1000RRs and Ducati panagales. Accordingly I am pretty free about lending my bike out - 4 different people took their motorcycle license road test on my 1975 cb750K. I ask a lot of questions of people before they take off with my bike, and sometimes I will ride with them, but if you have a valid motorcycle license, insurance, and a modicum of riding experience - then why not. Bike sharing is part of what makes this hobby fun. I'm a little disappointed in reading this thread and so many people are "nope, god forbid they wreck my precious machine" instead of "I don't want to see someone get hurt." We buy insurance to replace the bike, but people can't be replaced as easy. I don't know that I would sleep at night if someone hurt themselves on my motorcycle because of me, but if they wrecked it and walked away fine...well...it can always be rebuilt...again.... When I get another new reliable motorcycle, I might try this, if the liability ins question checks out.

Bubby cabin has been updated to cabin 515 and there are 2 more additions. @Namdum68 and his son in law.

Filled up the new, larger tank, strapped the new dry bag to the rack and actually rode to work today! Heated grips on full blast kept the hands working. I thought that setting was for "well done" but was actually necessary this morning Evening should be better.

For the price of tires and maintenance + wear & tear, how much profit are you actually making?

The winter projects

Yep, we know it can work, buuuut. In the words of the tall guy, No. Fucking. Way.
