Looking to rent a motorcycle to do my M test

Umm....

OP I was just pointing out to you that it is illegal to rent a motorcycle unless you have valid commercial insurance. The only way to do this legally is to borrow a bike, therefore borrowing insurance.

SUV was borrowed by a friend to go to store, wrote off and my insurance policy was sued for the million dollar liability. So no, not worth the $100 "in gas", which is the only way to do it legally for most of us.

Not illegal to lend, it is to rent out.

There are dedicated rental places for this. I think gta exotics or something like that downtown don't remember their business name, pimps rented lambos there on hourly rate to show up in front of a night club.

Fair enough, I didn't consider the injury liability. Clearly there are some people who are able to "rent" or "lend" according to Craigslist or Kijiji, so maybe some people are able to facilitate that transaction, even if you can not. I do skim when people are just getting off being condescending on the internet. I didn't realise that was the point of being a part of a community, I naively assumed it was to actually help each other out and stuff.

GTAM, or anywhere else

Perhaps knowing that a motorcycle you are about to borrow or rent may have no insurance, or voided insurance would be considered helpful by some.
 
Plus - oh sure I wanna help a random stranger on the Internet. What could possibly go wrong???

I've borrowed people's bikes, but they know me and how I ride. Never EVER borrowed a bike I couldn't pay for in full, immediately, should something happen.

If you're not covered under another auto policy (car or bike) - you may not have your own liability coverage.

Other than getting hurt yourself, liability would cover you for hurting someone else who may not have their auto policy or their injuries exceed that coverage. And for damages to other things, i.e. guard rails, light posts, etc. I think emergency services response may also be covered here.

So if you rent, I'd suggest thinking about your liability coverage, and what coverage the rental company provides. On the off chance something happens.

Thank you, I will do that!

I agree, and I would do the same.

Yes, that part was indeed helpful. But people can be helpful and condescending at the same time. Not necessary in my opinion, especially if you choose to help.

Agreed, but this is GTAM, get used to it. ;)

It's called tough love. If nobody ever rips you a new one you're just walking around with an old one.
 
Just out of curiosity, what does a hundred dollars buy today that is worth the potential risk?

I wouldn't turn down a C note given to me legally but it isn't a life changer.

It would pay for a couple of cases of beer or half a Kanye West white tee shirt. Maybe a nice lunch for two or a roadhouse dinner but no movie.

What would thrill you?
