Is it fair? What do you think...

[estero]

<font color=pink>I had a dicussion with my boyfriend today, well more of an argument. He REALLY hates that I LOVE motorcycles, he doesn't want me to have one, he doesn't want me to get on one, etc.

This is so because his uncle died on one and he just doesn't want me on one because he's afraid for my safety.

I absolutely LOVE them. I do understand where he's coming from and they are very dangerous, but don't feel I should compromise something I love.

WHat do you think?

i think you should buy a real bike..then we can go riding together.

[Inky]

I don't think you should give up what you love, even if it might be dangerous. If it's your passion, then you need to honor that.

However, a compromise might be in order to ease his mind. Promise to take a safety course or wear certain protective clothing, whatever it is that will lessen your chances of being a statistic. You should feel good that he cares enough to worry about you (however I hope he isn't attempting to limit other activities, ie: control freak).

are you willing to trade love and something emotional for a material possession?

------------------
you let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
you let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you
help me i broke apart my insides, help me i've got no soul to sell
help me the only thing that works for me, help me get away from myself

Maybe you should take him with you on it sometime. Because I used to think they were dangerous...and then I got on one and I couldn't have been farther from the truth...they pretty much drive themselves. (As far as they don't tip over like I expected). You should get him on there, and scare the living shit out of him...ya know...150 mph(umm...230 kph?? I don't know how you Candians measure things). Well, maybe not..just show him how safe those things are...how you can stop faster than anything else on the street...and how you can accelerate faster to get out of other people's way faster.

On a side note...I still don't like you staring at me!

EDIT: I was spelling like a dick head.

<font color=pink>Actually, its not the motorcycle thats dangerous, its others. I was told once that 90% of accidents are NOT caused by the motorcycle driver herself but by other people in automobiles. *shrug*

I don't think taking him out on one would change his mind.

And yes, I would trade a material thing for love.... but I don't want to.

<FONT COLOR="Red">The last time I rode a motorcycle I ended up dumping it and breaking no small number of saplings with my body. But that doesnt chenag the fact that I still dig them.

It's not a question of material ownership of it, methinks. there's a real thrill to be had with the open and free sensation fo being on a bike. And sometimes it takes a dangerous pursuit to remind us of how fragile and precious life can be. At least that's what us T-types say as a defense against our methods of amusement.

As long as it doesnt progress to the point o fit becoming a domination issue Kaye, I say compromise. continue to ride and have fun. Just try not to throw it in his face, if possible.</FONT c>

Look, he's expressed his opinion that he doesn't like the idea of you riding, but you love riding and have no intention of giving it up. So therefore you should just go on ahead and buy a bike and ride. If he truly doesn't try to control you, it will be ok. He may chew his fingernails off everytime you go out until you return, but thats his problem. I see no reason here that you can't have your cake and eat it too, that is, as long as he is truly willing to let you do your thing.

Dear-Heart, he's your boyfriend not your husband.
But opinions are opinions.

Motorcycles are dangerous because other drivers can't see them as well as cars and most drivers are not looking out for them.
My Dad's been riding for along time and I the friends he's lost because of them are too many to name.
If your bf expresses no allowance for your personal freedom to own and operate them, dump him. He'll control everything before its done.
If he's just concerned and your looking for something to fight about, take a step back.
I doubt it's the latter.

Often what happens is when you really find something you love to do you begin to obsess about it.
You know your obsessing about it.
And your loved ones see the obsession and fear the radical change in you.
They picture you loosing focus on what you're doing and getting hurt or in trouble.
That's why you should really be cautious as to how you express your desires. After all others don't feel the way you do.
I tend to do this and it upsets the people closest to me. They wonder what's wrong and they look for something wrong until they find something wrong.
They don't see what I see.
Or feel what I feel.

So when it comes "things" you truely love.

Keep the smile on the outside and the passion on the inside.

It really only matters to you anyway. the people who love you will be happy to see you happy.

<font color=pink>He expressed his concern and did ask me not to ride anymore, however he didn't say "YOU CANNOT RIDE." He would never. I udnerstand his concern, a close family member died and he's only worried about me. He said everytime I would go on it it would break his heart because he woudln't know if I was coming back or not.

We spoke about it last night and i told him I didn't think it was right that he asked me to do that. I told him that I thought he could present his case as to why he thought it was dangerous and I would make the ultimate decision of course... and that was the end of it.

It get's easier to deal with this type of thing once you get married.

Phhhtttaaaahahhaha! http://www.thehypertribe.net/ubb/biggrin.gif

It's your life, Kaye. Don't let anyone change it.

Read Madbomber's contribution on the Asylum front page. It made my nipples hard.

I've seen a motorcylist's severed head inside his helmet. I've also seen death by self-neglect. I'd rather go on a motorcycle. Accidents can happen anywhere.

Live your life before you die. Time is short.

<FONT COLOR="TimeSlipping">Motorbikes arn't dangerous to riders. Cars are dangerous to moterbikes. If you live in a high density area (e.g. lots of cars) then watch yourself. Perhaps he just cares for you. I don't know. If not, go right ahead. I love my bike, and at 3am there is nothing better to jump median strips and do burnouts in. But I don't care. Flip a coin. Its easiest.</FONT c>
