Should I sell my motorcycle?


My wife suffers from some pretty serious anxiety. She worries. A lot. About everything. I love motorcycles, but never bought one because a: I've never really been one to take the initiative and make a "me" purchase, and b: my wife is very afraid of what might happen to me. This year for my birthday, I said I wanted a used bike to "try out" since I hadn't been on one in ages. Initially she was against it, but something changed her mind, and she surprised me with a brand new cruiser! I love it. I ride it nearly every chance I get. (not many of those this time of year) The problem is that she has an anxiety attack every time I ride, and it's getting worse as we go along. She actually cried the last time she saw me get my helmet. I've offered to get rid of the bike, but she insists that she wants me to have it, because she knows it gives me joy. She's right. It does, but I don't want to cause her extra worry and pain. I'm hoping she'll get more comfortable, but I feel selfish. Help!

There may be other ways to help her anxiety. Offer to give her lessons. if she understands the ride she may be less likely to worry about you. You can call her every so often while you're out on your bike even. If she's becoming really ooc when your out riding she may need to see her doc. Chances are your riding is not the only stress that she has .
