Favor for a friend?

Favor for a friend?
Been riding with him for twenty years, because of money he had to stop riding. That made his wife greatly happy, the worry wench. Then he lost his house and had to find a rental. Much smaller.
But the money worm turned and now he has purchased an Aprilia. '04 RSV. Sweet unit. Makes wonderful noises and throbs delightfully.
Wants to keep it in my garage (space is not a problem), away from the eyes of wifey. With the key in it and permission for me to flog, er, ride it when I want.
Do I do this favor for a friend? It feels just as if the stone fox at work has come on to me and no one would have to know. Pleasure and forbidden. I didn't make any promises to his wife, I don't even know if he did. But I sure would like to have access to a stone gorgeous bike like that. Do I do it?

I'd ask myself "What could possibly go wrong with the idea of having my buddy's primo bike at my disposal and no out of pocket expenses?" Maybe a friendly lawsuit between buddies when the unexpected happens and then everybody points fingers.

ummm.... wellll.... thats a tough one
Id do it but at the same time I would beg him to tell his wife.. if/when she finds out it could turn ugly for him.. they always find out about the stone fox some way or another.
even if it turns into a white lie that you and him purchased it with combined money and it was a steal of a price.
or depending on how close you two are have him pay the bills on the machine but put the title in your name... not sure how that would work out but just throwin ideas out there.
to be honest I wouldnt pass up an opportunity to have an RSV in my garage at my disposal and I will always do favors for my friends but thats a crap shoot...
just make sure that his eyes arent blinded by the pretty colors and wonderful sounds and understands the repurcussions of if/when the wifey finds out

if you decide to do it, just make sure you have a good explanation/defense prepared in advance to use with your bud's wife (and yours too, if applicable) because eventually she WILL find out. They always do...

I'd do it. I'm keeping my friends quad in my garage w/ permission to flog @ will and I do regularly. He isn't keeping it from his wife though. Even if he was, my loyalty lies w/ him not her. Not that I don't like her, it's just that IF they would split, who would you continue friendship w/?
You need to help keep him on 2 wheels.

there is absolutely NO dilemma here that i can see. an Aprilia RSV with keys in your garage trumps friend's somewhat questionable ethics, wife of friend, your dog, cat, etc., and park your car on the street if it comes down to that bike and your red Ferrari.
actually, i'm wrong. don't do it. send him to me. i'll make room in my garage.

Myself having two true superbikes(RC51s), and ride with six close true friends/ that at any time I would give them the keys- To as you say Flog away.. And the opportunity is open for the same of their bikes..
As a friend -we all have the saying, "If you can afford the repairs, you are more than welcome to ride(flog, etc.) my bike...

Liability would have me say no. If it was a dirtbike, no problem. Plastics are cheap to replace, even a motor is relatively cheap. Sounds like this is more than just a toy to him, it would be hard to meet expectations should something go wrong. Of course, only you know your relationship with him so this is only my 2 cents.
