He probably won’t want to do that when he finds out how expensive it is. I just insured a bike in Alberta and was shocked to find how much it cost. I asked why and he told me it was because bikes are so easy to steal and it happens so often. Personally I wouldn’t sh are my bike with
anyone unless I knew they were a very good rider.

Add him as a secondary driver on the policy you will be taking out on your bike. Have him pay the difference. If you do not add him as a secondary driver then do NOT let him ride the bike because if he gets into an accident as you didn’t declare another rider in the household then your insurer will deny the claim and cancel the policy.
