All you bkers....?? |
Hi there fellow bikers :) Ive got a bit of a dilemma here. Last year I went down the road with my beloved GSXR 600 - which I successfully repaired back to complete original condition myself and sold (even made a profit!). The thing is, I sold the bike due to family and peer pressure, basically my family and friends realised I was lucky to survive the first time and didnt want me smashing it and not being so lucky next time round... Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try - I just cant shake the craving for the buzz I used to get on a bike and reeeeeally want to buy a new one. Have any of you ever had your family against you with biking and have you got round it in any way? If so, what did you do? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..... Ride safe, cheers..... bryan well, i lost a leg on my 750 kwak back in 82... my mum gave me all sorts of grief... in 87( on a GS1000) i did it again, same leg, but now its above knee... neither accident was my fault, i was just there! i was back on a bike 3 weeks after i left hospital..(combo) then i built me a rigid goldwing trike... in fact over the years ive built around 10 trikes, and won shows. im currently working on a 2.5litre straight 6 turbo diesel trike.. (175 bhp) and a hundred and plenty on the clock... mum gave me lots of grief...in reality she was scared witless for my safety... but i couldnt see it, or more to the point didnt want to. ive been riding bikes since i was 14... im 50 this year. its what i do, but.. since 2001 i havent been on a 2 wheeled bike... frankly, it scares me... not the bike riding, oh i love that...its the idiots in cars, who think they can drive... on a bike at 120 plus your part of the machine... its an extention of yourself... not so in a car. youre isolated and insulated. (and not exactly in control) im a badass biker.. and like yourself i crave the rush.. but i dont want to die... so i build trikes... no helmet, cheap insurance and cheap tax.. my mates on their harleys hate me.. i get the looks... theyre on just another harley... read my profile, and e me if you want a chat... or your mum wants a chat... youre her baby... regardless of how old you are... LL&P We "BIKERS" have an old saying..... $18.K and 18 miles.... DON'T MAKE YOU A BIKER! and there is nothing that could keep me off my scooter... If you fall down..you get back up. hi yep 10 year a go i was hit by a drunk driver at 7.30 in the moring my wife and family did not want me to get a new bike as i was in a bad way now i own a buell and my family and kids love it all the best on what you do and if you do safe riding Firstly, ONCE A BIKER ALWAYS A BIKER! As Harley riders, my partner and I have a excellent time ( in Scotland and praying for better weather to appear already lol) travelling the roads. My daughter has a problem since her son was born about us biking as she is scared something will happen but as I assure her of 2 things 1. My partner is a responsible biker who doesn't want to die or kill me. 2. We all gonna die one way or another! Ride safe and feel free always Did ya learn anything in last years crash ? If so... share that with fam & friends. Even if you didn't cause the accident, you may've learned the reason it happened could've been avoided.as in, staying clear of erratic drivers, staying out of heavy traffic, steering clear of women drivers, keeping an eye on road surface changes, etc, Good Luck ! no matter whats happened in the past,its past,hopefully you would have learned something.had been riding bikesfor a few years and once took my missus to Scotland and back in a week! once a biker,always a biker. had a similar thing happen to me,when my kids were young. I am now doing up a bike that i had wanted for ages and am nearly there,can't wait,i know it will feel good because i rebuilt it and will treat and ride with respect.I think my family are thinking,"well if it makes dad happy,then why not"after all the wife and daughter put themselfs at risk when they go do the horses.you gotta live your life man,just be carefull,think about getting some more training,I am,hope this helps. What are you,12 years old.Does mommy tell you when its bedtime |
