Re: Riders: Talked out of buying my first bike.

My husband also wants to get a bike, and I asked that he not because I'm worried about his safety. I know he's a safe driver, but so many other people on the road are not. Many don't look for motorcycles and a lot of them drive recklessly.

I'd prefer to have my husband alive and in one piece than mowed down by an ignorant driver. I know keeping him off a bike doesn't make him invincible, but I've witnessed accidents involving motorcycles and even have a friend who was in a motorcycle accident...and it never seems to turn out well for the biker.

I can't tell you what is best, but it sounds like her father's death was traumatic enough that it left a big mark on her. Talk it out with her.
