AITA for not lending my precious bike for his emergency?

r/

More context:
We were friends from past 5 years.
We a group of 3 members shifted into 1bhk.
Today is the first day we are living together. After office he said that his cousin brother is suffering from facial paralysis, I was empathetic and asked everything about his brother well-being. After an hour or so he came to me and askes my bike worth over 3 lakh which I don’t give it to anyone. And recently it started making some weird noises and i started using it carefully whenever needed. And I knew him very well and his recklessness. After blatantly saying no when he asked, here I am finding myself wondering if I did the correct thing?

    If you are not comfortable with lending it then don’t.

    NTA! You have no obligation to lend someone your belongings, no matter the situation.

    It’s sad about his cousin, but lending a 3 lakh bike you don’t trust him with is risky. NTA
