ReconRat Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Take her Mom for a ride, or her Dad... That will make it final one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubguy85 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 But seriously, just tell them that a car and a bike are two TOTALLY different things, and you would never put you or your gf's life at risk..You are very safe on a motorcycle! That worked for me once ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catman Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 My thought about this is.......... It is your choice to take that risk everyday you ride, but most passengers don't understand the risk involved, they just want to go for a ride. It's a huge responsibility to ride a passenger. Don't know what I'de do, if i ever hurt someone !!If you have several years of seat time, I'de say go for it, if your a first or second years rider, ?????? maybee respect thier wishes ? How old is she that hher parents have say in anything ?? ??Try not to second guess yourself too much. You can't do that making decisions in a split second. those survival reactions are a mother !!

You are more worried about getting caught rather than actually being honest, damn kids these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dicemouth88 Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 well thanks guys now im even more confused on what to do? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Hunter Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Buy a house and have her move in with you then you get to make your own decisions. Until then you respect the parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 better yet why dont we both ride with youActually, I've had 3 people on one of my bikes before. But they were both female. Yes, that's a sandwich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Well my ? would be why is your driving record in question? Honestly, if someone I knew had a lot of accidents or speeding/moving violations, I sure as heck wouldn't let a loved one on the bike either.Sorry bro, I would count my blessings that shes allowed in a car with ya if thats the case. My HS G/F wasnt and I had a 100% clean record, just an extremely modded/fast car.I would say, wait until you have showen them with no tickets etc. that you are safe, then they will better believe you.

dicemouth88 Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 i mean i told them i would provide her with protection lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsuMj Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 i like the parent ride suggestion. if you feel confident and u genuinely believe u can be safe with a passenger, ask her rents if u could show them... they're just being protective but ultimately it comes down to it being her decision. my dad about flipped when i got my bike... but it was my decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 my parents were cool with me getting a bike... my dad had one when he was about my age... my mom has six brothers who have all had motorcycles at one point or another. two of them still do. honestly, i think my mom was more concerned that i was wasting my money(in her eyes) on a bike, rather than thinking id get hurt or something... although im sure she thinks about that too. my dad was just like "whatever". i didnt live there or anything... the best they can hope for is that i will take their opinions under advisement... which i usually do.

ReconRat Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 ^^ yeah, what MJ said... patience, all things come to pass... or not.BTW, they didn't say she couldn't ride it by herself? heh? Don't go there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
