When I was 15, my mum had no choice but to except the fact that her youngest wanted to own a motorbike, since her two older brothers had them!! They even loaned the money...
Funny how 25 years later, she feels the need to be anti-motorbikes!
Hell, apparently these days, I can leave my son at home, drive/walk to the shops in 5 mins and something bad can happen to me??!!
Well, total respect to her, but her nearly 8yr old is keen on motox, her now 40yr old wants to ride again - Majority Rules

When I was at home bikes were a no go zone.

Dad lost some teeth from coming of his.
Several of his friends died on theirs.
My uncle has limited movement in his wrist from an accident on his.

After years of brainwashing I was convinced I didn't need a bike.

Then I decided to get one - knowing full well my Mother would freak out.
Funilly enough she couldn't care less when I turned up at their place on it.

It did help that I was 29 and not 19 and I hadn't lived at home for almost a decade.
