Great review! Although The fact you actually admitted you drive a smart car did somewhat initially effect your credibility, but I got over it.
Can't imagine why anyone would rent out their bike though, that just would NEVER work for me.

So this is me (Kevin). So glad you enjoyed it, Jim!
I know the founder of Riders-Share, Guillermo, and I'll tell you guys what I told him: I think this site is perfect for guys just like Jim, who want to try out a bike for a day that they're considering buying without the cost and hassle of a rental center. That's why *I* would use the site, anyway. And if every renter ends up being like Jim, I'll never regret renting out my bike.
Hey Kevin! Good to hear from you.
I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to give you a call and head back South for another ride. You've seen my other threads, so you know what your ride did to me. I'm right at the edge of purchasing my own F6B soon. Could have gone out and bought one the next day... in fact I even stopped at Huntington Beach Honda and talked with the guys there before I brought your bike back that night. But on the drive home, I decided to prioritize some personal goals first, so I could really appreciate my purchase.
Thank you again for sharing your bike with me. I look forward to seeing you more here on the forum, and perhaps a ride together sometime.

I have never heard of the site but have loaned out a bike or two. If I know you and you can ride I'm in. Had a fellow member fly into town and borrow a bike for the weekend . All I wanted was it returned full of gas. Really don't see the big deal. For me it is just a tool. I don't love it as it does not love me back and if it could it would try to kill me !!!

Nice review J! I almost bought an F6B from Huntington Beach Honda. You may have seen my post asking the forum members if I should buy the 2013 with 29000 miles for $9999 or a new 2015 blue one for $13500 and everyone said get the new one. Well, that new one was from them! But they wanted to tack on an additional $999 for assembly, $399 for freight, plus it would have cost me about $500 to have it delivered to Bend, plus they couldn't arrange financing without me being present, they said it's illegal, so $15,400 and I'd have to arrange my own financing,Hey Kevin! Good to hear from you.

I opted for the 2013 model, delivered for free, for about $10,300 OTD. It arrived today! I grew up in West Covina, maybe 60 miles from Huntington Beach, which is where my sister and nieces and nephew lived for many years also. I'm happy with my decision though I felt those guys were a little bit misleading adding $1400 onto their advertised price. Arghhh. Anyway, small world, eh? Your bike is arriving from Kansas soon, right? I bet you're excited!
I can't stop buying things for it. The new rear rack came yesterday, and I picked up this from Craigslist:... Anyway, small world, eh? Your bike is arriving from Kansas soon, right? I bet you're excited!
