Taffy Bear Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Gday my name is Rhys, Im from Wales but now live in Australia, iv been riding bikes for most of my life,but never got a licence, now that im 35 i want to get a licence and a nice bike to go with, iv been saving up for a xvs650 custom. There is only one problem my farther is dead against me getting a bike, the funny thing is that he also has just got a Triumph T100 for himself ? dont figure. My wife and kids support me 100%, but i dont want to fight with my farther, it seems double standards to me,will have to see what he says when i roll up to his house with it owell see you all later Rhys (BEAR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted September 14, 2008 Moderator Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hi Rhys in Oz, Good to hear feom you mate, Its a tricky one with your dad yes, does seem like double standards. Ive been riding bikes since 14 years old and my mum and dad must have been worried back then too, But at least for the first early years I was riding off road due to my age and gaining skill and experience. Ypu say you have also got lots of experience too..Thats what i cant understand, Especially that dads got a bike too! Anyway Good luck with it all... Think you better just get it and go out for rides with dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
