as an idea as to whether i am protective or not, i have owned my bike since new, i have used the same mechanic and he has ridden my bike on occasion, i of course have ridden my bike on more than one occasion, only one other person has ridden my bike in the 17yrs i have owned it, naaa not protective at all

No one is over-protective of their bike. Ever. What you need to understand is that our bikes are the essence of who we are for some of us. They are not a tool to lend ... they are a part of our bodies. Some of us would sooner lend our wives / girlfriends before we lend our bike.

who the fuck lends any cunt their tools??!

Everyone has a little trust in strangers. For instance, when you're riding a motorbike or a car you would trust that a person wouldn't swerve or open their door to knock you off.

No. See - if you rode yourself you would understand that NO we do not trust other people NOT to do that - they do it all the time ..

Trusting people not to suddenly swerve without warning is a dangerous game to play when riding a bike.

True, but it looks like we've got a troll here.

I would lend someone a trailer as long as their was beers involved and I knew where they lived.
Maybe I would lend out a GN250 to someone I didn't like much.

Bit tough when a requirement was ''Just let him have that ride with the wind on his face'' because that would evolve winding the window down.

I had lent my S1000RR to people before, but then they were real good friends of mine.

OP ain't a real good friend of mine tho.

Some years ago a random Indian stranger once sat on my bike to pose for his selfie without asking my permission. I nearly killed him
