Absolutely they are personal! I would never lend out my Gitane and my Bianchi SG. It is extremely unlikely that I would lend out my Bianchi Limited, but I would consider lending out my Kuwahara MTB to the right person. I have a Norco Mountaineer that I keep for guest/lending purposes. For me, lending one of my bikes would be like letting someone else use my toothbrush or some other personal thing! Uh-uh...no way no how.
