JohnR6 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Hi guys, Just wondering what your parents think about you riding motorcycles? I know my parents would disagree, but I don't live with them now so that's why I'm sneaking off to get my M/C License and a bike! I'm originally from Newcastle and that's where my parents live and I'm living in Manchester now! hehe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Alex Posted June 2, 2004 Admin Share Posted June 2, 2004 Well im still living with my parents as ive been saving up for my travels, but my dad doesnt mind at all. However my mum doesnt really like me riding it as within my family we know of three people who have died in non fault motorcycle accidents, and my mums cousin had to have her legs amputated :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted June 2, 2004 Moderator Share Posted June 2, 2004 It's like my Dad told me once........... "If I had my way, you wouldn't ride @ all.......but I haven't been a very good example" .........he's been riding since he was 19! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarkMalbot Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 My mum wasn't all that keen on me to start racing and spending all my money on it. The more I race though the better she is about it now. She still gets a bit worried when I crash and stuff. She is coming to watch me for the first time in July! That will be a laff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axl Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I started riding in the 1980, although my mum didn't want me getting a bike, but Iv'e been into them since I was about 5. And I still remember watching Bazza sheene and Roberts in the british gp in 78' (or was 79' :-k ), I was 15 then. So I guess her and my dad knew it was coming when I old enough, my dad's not here now he passed away about 15 yrs ago, but I think my mum just kinda tolarates it now. I think kinda knows now that I probably wont give them up now, and I'm 40. But like I said in a previous thread, I do know how hard roads n cars are, so I should know better than to go out in my jeans. But yea, you just can't beat the feeling of being out on the bike, well I dont think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
