    The first time my mother found out that i came off my bike she was like: I told you they were dangerous, why dont you get a car licence instead, why wasnt i the first to know, why did i have to find out about it from my work mates(-when i happened at our work while she wasnt there!), blah, blah, blah...

    Didnt stop me from riding.
    Just like her rantings didnt stop me riding after ten, or with no license, no reg and no wof.

    Thankfully the only off I've ever had was on a dirt bike and although I have lasting pain in my left elbow when I lean on it, the bike only got scratched.

    My mother is fine with me riding a bike NOW, but when I was 15 and two of my female friends had bikes, she refused to let me have one because she'd seen my brother come off so many times. Now she's quite proud of the fact her daughter rides a motorcycle, but I know she'd be upset if I crashed.

    I've never really been into girly sports - I did karate for years and was always coming home with bruises and broken bones in my hands and feet. And the only crash I've ever been in was after taking up codriving in a rally car! The harness saved me from any real damage, but I got a massive bruise on my upper arm and a cut hand. A bank teller said to me "gee, did your husband do that?" I was single at the time and said not only did I not have a husband, but if I did and he ever laid a finger on me, he'd be in a much worse state!

    I don't think my husband's parents have any problem with him riding - he's been riding for more than 20 years and has never (touch wood) had a serious accident so I don't think they worry about him much.
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
