Riders with kids...
Riders with kids...
My husband and I got our Hurricane last month and since then I have been dying to go on a "real ride" with him. I have let him go out with a buddy and go ride, and he took me to and from school the other day, but I have been dying for a Saturday night ride. I told my brother that we were getting a babysitter and going riding tonight and he made me feel like crap. He told me I had no business riding since I have 3 children, 
I know this.
Question is, how many of you have children? Should I not ride with my husband, because if something happens they lose us both?

my wife is expecting our first child
let me guess... he's a non-rider.
don't take any advice from non-riders. i don't care how many people they knew that got into accidents or died... they don't know what they're talking about
and if he does ride - then he should know better to say anything because when someone says "you'll die" or something like that, it rattles my head. it does nothing other than distract me, and thats when mistakes are made.
you're a parent, you know the responsibilities involved. ride responsibly.

Of course you should be able to go for a ride with your partner ...
A question for your brother ??
ask him to buy you another Road bike so the chance of both bikes going down are less ? ,
ask him if he would rather buy you 2 plane tickets on different planes in case the dam thing crashes ?
ask him if he will get you a second car so that you 2 guys can travel in separate vehicles ...?
how about you also go for walks separately in case you both get mugged together ?
My goodness ... enjoy your life and take a bit of care ... that is my take on this whole dreary situation .with your brother..
We have seven grown up kids and 13 grand kids now!! ...yup 13
and we still go out on my CBR
Excuse the hair blow job from the wind that day , but you should have many pics of your own just like this one to show your kids in years to come
.... me and my misses ....

Was gonna say something similar but since I don't have kids and Yuen won't get within 10' of the passenger seat while I'm on the bike it didn't seem right

When I'm riding with the wifey-poo, I am NOT sporting, she's out having a good time
and I'm staying focused on the road. The odds in 2006 were 68 in 100,000.
68% of those were lack of perception on the part of the drivers of 1 or both vehicles.
If your hubby isn't an idiot and rides responsibly, you are not, in my opinion,
exercising poor judgement by riding together.
