Where's the rest? She is very lucky to be alive. In the congressional hearing the guard was asked, "Why didn't you kill them? You were allowed to since they were in a nuclear facility.". He answered, "I didn't see a weapon.".

Nice video for the bike owner looking to rent out their bike. I was looking for a point of view from the rider. Seems like that went well. Pay the deductible done deal. I hope your satisfied with your claim resolution.

Don't rent out your bike with this company Riders-Share. I was renting out my bike for several yrs until a oppurtunist, liar renter borrowered my bike and returned it damaged. Hole and carved marks on my side fenders. Jacked up clutch & gear. Renter changed my bike's tires without my permission on an expensive shop and Riders-share charged me for it without telling me after the bike's tires was changed. Very unprofessional. Asked the company for insurance claims but refused it and deleted my account. Very deceptive company. Dont rent it out unless you want your bike ruined someday and you will pay for the renter's mischevious, irresponsible use of your bike.

Amazing story and visuals! I paused it a dozen times just to admire the scenery. Awesome experience to say the least. Thanks for making this video! Loved the music. Thanks, Steve- Words do not... is very accurate. Mike C.

Thank you so much for the video.

Thanks, great video 👍

After speaking with my insurance company about the prospect of renting out my motorcycle (commercially) I was told they would drop my policy if I did so, and they found that they were insuring my bike in parallel with a 3rd party's insurance. Therefore I'm still confused how to approach operating the business without acquiring commercial insurance, which would require originating a business, EIN, and all the other norms of business operations, tax compliance, etc. I suspect this service operates in the "grey area" of hope, that the risk of insurance claim (or death) won't happen, and if it does the asset owner isn't held liable for essentially conducting a negligent business. I think the hustle is a great concept, and not particularly expensive in the context of starting a business, to operate a small (hopefully growing) fleet of rental motorcycles, but based on all the information I've collected there seems to be too much risk, especially if an individual owns the motorcycle and not a company. That's literally 100% personal liability, potential life changing lawsuit nightmare.

Great video! Thinking about renting a bike when down in Tucson next week. This was a great perspective in whether to rent through RS or not. Thanks!

Skyline Drive! That's my neck of the woods

You look so much different from your time on Saturday Night Live!

Can you rent out your bike if you bought it on payments/hire purchase?

Being out a bike to rent out for over a month while the insurance company navigates its own burocracy makes it hard to accept

Hey Steve, thank you so much for this long term review. I’m new to riding (don’t even have a license yet) and am considering using riders share to be able to afford a bike. I’m a broke college student so this seems like the best option to not break the bank. This video clears up a lot of questions I had.

Is this Dave Ramseys younger brother?

Do they have to come to your house and pick up the bike for rental?. I’m surprise the rider didnt get severely hurt dropping the bike

Do you have to get commercial insurance or extra insurance if you rent your bike out?

Sounds like it’s not worth it

Absolutely love how you put this video together. Extremely informative and easy to watch. I do have a question. Could you have just added a rider to your insurance policy so that any rider would be insured? And then you could handle the insurance claim directly with your insurance provider instead of going through rideshare. Because it sounds like rideshare was trying to be frugal by going to a small shop that wasn't even reputable just to cut costs.

I came across this video because I was looking for information on Rider Share and found your story to be very valuable. I signed up with Ryder share as a renter in 2021 and had a good experience with my one and only rental. Rideshare is now pressing for crowd funding to grow the business. Experiences like this, if they persist Will make future RS growth questionable. Understanding the motorcycles in general are inherently risky insurance propositions. Nice to say that lengthy delays in repairs due to insurance negotiations do not bode well poor people wanting to rent their equipment with this company

What do you think about putting a protective frame on a rental bike in anticipation of it being laid down frequently?

Thanks for the explanation in detail. Personally I am looking to rent a couple of bikes next month. Do I have to buy the insurance through ridershare ? I spoke to State Farm and they said my motorcycle insurance will cover. No different than me borrowing a friends bike and damaging it. Ridershare would just hold a huge deposit. ?

Read “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”. Would have reduced your hassles.

I’ll pass I don’t need the hassle of wrecking my road glide not worth it

Sounds like a lot of trouble I hate people renting out my bike and then crashing it that’s the worst good video though

I’m looking into this but I definitely want to start off with a few bikes just in case one goes down

Thanks my friend for this video. Excelllent!!

Being an owner, rider, master mechanic & a logistics director: In your circumstance, I would have recommended to just go ahead & paid the extra $250 (in addition to the $500) and purchased the parts & did the repair yourself. Why you ask? - the accident doesn't go on your bikes historical records - the repair is completed quickly & you know it's done right And #1 - you don't have to get hassled by "the bureaucracies" (ie the insurance Co's, rental company, police, etc) and all their BS excuses! I learned when I was young how these systems don't work & will never fall for it again. Remember, the only way you know it's done right - is if you do & plan it yourself! 👍

Thank you for some an awesomely thorough recap!

Me personally, would I put my beautiful 2021 Kawasaki Z900 RS Café, my baby out for rent? Hell to the no. I would actually buy a bike specifically for the purpose. I would buy a used bike that’s in high demand just for the purpose of renting it to people. I think that’s the way to go and I’m actually considering it. I’m thinking of something like a royal Enfield 650 interceptor or a ninja 400 or maybe an ADV bike, used but high demand motorcycle to try out and see how I like the service. I would never put my personal bike that I bought brand new for rent for this exact reason and other reasons. Nobody’s gonna baby my brand-new dream bike the way I would. and for that reason, I would purchase a motorcycle just for the purpose of renting it to other people

Number one never take money from the individual. You could be breach of contract. you want to let the insurance company handle it in a situation like that

Exact info I was looking for. Thanks!

It sounds like you had issues because you insisted on using some specific "local" (aka "friends") shop that happens to want bill way more than what the repairs are worth. Every insurance company on the face of the earth is going to give you a hard time. That doesn't have anything to do with rider share.

So how do you make up for all the time you couldn't rent/ride your bike? Living in New England I can tell you you may lose half riding season with this shit

Thanks 👍

why is this video 15 minutes

How did you verify riders experience? And also riders insurance is relevant? Because your insurance will need notice about this.

I always go to dealer to do things.....NOT

I have this on for the audio while I work.

i's almost as if you're actually there!

Yo, I really appreciate this video. Very very informative.

Thanks for the info!!!!

Thank you.

Steve! What a video!! Thanks for putting this together, I just got started on renting out my motorcycle and I'm thinking about expanding, reminders like these are very helpful when calculating the risk. Thanks and hope you're well!

I wonder how much harder this will be to go after a renter when they decline the insurance. I’m planning to rent a bike this week and will pay the $49 insurance fee. I have two bikes that I would rent out, but I’m concerned of how long it would take during COVID if there was any accident.

I rent a bike on that platform and I got a bad break, almost crash and when I rent the owner wants me to pay for the repair.man I am not renting from da website again

Thanks for sharing. From my experience dealing with insurance claims... Your experience sounds very very typical.

I don’t understand why you paid the deductible. He wrecked the bike. Should he not pay it?

Awesome awesome video! Very informational.

Mahalo Steven for providing an honest long term explanation of the challenges and process. This was an awesome video.

Was this during covid year ?
