Friendship is important, but safety comes first.

The following story involves a man who recently bought a Honda motorcycle.

His friend wanted to borrow it despite not having a license.

Now, their friendship is on the rocks after a petty disagreement.

Let’s take a closer look!

AITA For not letting my friend ride my motorcycle

A few weeks ago, I bought a Honda SH125.

I really enjoy my bike.

The day after I bought it, I showed it to my friend.

And he immediately wanted to take it for a spin.

This man refused his friend’s request.

Normally, I’m really a generous person, and we’ve been friends for a while.

I said no because he doesn’t have a license nor any riding experience.

I got scared that he might hurt himself or wreck the brand new bike.

Now, his friend claims their friendship is a lie.

After my answer, he got mad and kept saying I’m a selfish person.

He also said that our friendship was a lie. He backpacks me on the weekends.

Sometimes, he still brings up the same topic.

He doesn’t talk to me all day when this happens.

AITA?

Let’s check out the comments of other people.

Short, simple, and straightforward!

Here’s a similar thought from this one.

A motorcycle is even more dangerous, says this user.

This person makes a valid point.

Finally, this one thinks he should end the friendship.

Just because he prioritizes safety doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about the friendship.
