Steve was the best and the Yamaha Star Bolt R-Spec was perfect. We rode 600 miles in 2.5 days through the mountains to Nashville TN. We never touched the interstate and the Yamaha was flawless in it's performance. Steve is a great guy. He knows his bikes. We'll be back for sure. Thanks for everything Steve! read more

Riders Share Atlanta - Motorcycle Rental Near Me

My Riders-Share experience... (https://www.riders-share.com/)This review is not personally about the owner or the motorcycle, it's completely about my experience in renting the motorcycle through riders-share and my lessons learned. August happens to be my birthday month and wanted to make the whole month interesting and adventurous along with my wife. As part of things that I wanted to do in this month Aug2021, one is to rent and ride a motorcycle hence started my search to see if I can find any BMW 850 GS.My requirement: Rent a BMW 850 GS for a day and experience the ride along with my wife.Started my search and found two options Eagle Riders and riders-share; had to drop the first option coz they do not have any option for delivery. Second option rider-share offers delivery.Riders-share has one owner listing for the motor cycle that am interested in and also they have a delivery option. It's a new platform to me and has no experience in renting the motorcycles from actual owners. Totally new bee here.Got in touch with Owner through riders-share website messaging option trying to figure out the whole process and understanding how it works. Things that I missed to enquiry about is the height of the motorcycle, Cancellation policy.Initial Reservation from 8/28/2021 @ 11:00 am to 8/29/2021 @ 11:00 am; edited reservation from 8/27/2021 @ 5:00 pm to 8/28/2021 @ 5:00 pm; Owner is flexible and able to accommodate the changesBreakdown of the charges... $100.00 Base Price × 1 day$100.00 20% First Ride Discount-$20.00 $10.00 Gear Price × 1 day$10.00 $25.00 Protection(100 deductible) × 1 day$25.00 $9.00 Roadside Assistance × 1 day$9.00 $20.00 Service Fee × 1 day$20.00 $100.00 Security Deposit$100.00 TOTAL:$244.00 Delivery: riders-share charge was $60 ($30 one way), upon checking with owner he agreed to do it at $20 round trip as there is no option to do that within the riders-share website owner said we can do it separately. Gear: owner initial mentioned he don't have one and I didn't want to do it without my wife, later upon our messages owner generously offered that I can use his wife's medium helmet.Delivery Day: Owner has planned it out to deliver at my location and his wife would be picking him up. He came in we formally met in person started checking the motorcycle options and understanding it. Owner mentioned about how height the vehicle is and I wanted to give it a spin before I go head and continue with rental, tried and its little height to me was able to land on my toes but not the complete foot. We continued with the discussion with the understanding... that I will keep thinking about the comfortability of continuing the rental process while owner was explaining the motorcycle options. As the whole idea is to have an experience with my wife, I wanted my wife to try hop on and hop off to see if she can comfortably get on and off the motorcycle. Note: Owner has boxes on both sides, hence she wasn't able to hop on at all and she wasn't comfortable. I didn't want to go on a ride all by myself which is not part of the plan, so I had to request owner if it is ok to cancel and assuring him I would definitely rent his motorcycle in next month or so planning my trip accordingly. Me and owner we both agreed to cancel the trip it would have been helpful if owner would have mentioned about the cancellation policy or option if I can postpone the trip, my impression is that as long as owner and renter is ok it can be cancelled and in this case owner seemed to be ok. In the whole process, owner seemed ok to cancel the trip and as I was new to the riders-share platform when checking on cancellation he mention that he will check once he gets home and asked me also to check the website. My impression that owner is completely ok with cancelling the trip. Was feeling bad and offered if I need to do anything to compensate and mentioned would have allowed other to rent the motorcycle. He seemed ok with that and he didn't have any other inquiries and am the only one. My expectation on cancellation...that I will be charged riders-share service fee $20 and am ready to pay owner the agreed delivery fee $20; total - $40. As per plan owner wife was at my location to pick him up, he told her about the cancel she drove away and later owner left too. Me and my wife stood there till owner left along with the motorcycle feeling bad for our self that we couldn't ride it and for the owner who made all his plans to deliver.Please note at this point neither me nor the owner has check-in into the riders-share website. My impression... that owner and renter both has to check-in for the trip to start. When back to my home and tried to see if I have an option to cancel the trip, I got a Cancel Trip popup "Because your trip has already begun, you cannot cancel at this time. However, if there is a mechanical or safety issue with the motorcycle. Please ask owner to cancel the booking. You will not be charged once they cancel". Shared read more

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!! Steve was so nice, courteous and professional. The motorcycle reservation process on the Riders-Share platform was super easy; price was very reasonable; and no hidden charges or big down payment held like you get with some of the other rental operations. The V-Star was as advertised and performed flawlessly for the day. Rent from this guy, you'll be very satisfied!! read more

Steve is a fantastic individual, his bikes are top notch, and his location is perfect for safe/fun North GA riding! He is very knowledgeable, approachable, and simply cares to make sure you have the best overall experience riding his bikes. Couldn't say too much more other than thank you and I highly recommend his services! read more

I could not have been more impressed with Steve, his bike and the gear that he has for rent. He responded quickly, he was easy to work with and he even reduced my charge by one day, after I returned the bike early. I cannot recommend the guy enough! read more
