Motorcycle racing school you have on full gear. Dying is lower, motorcyclists die because of blunt force and most race tracks don't have anything you can run into.

Don’t see the appeal at all lmao. Even aside from the danger.

Why don’t you just get a nice Chanel purse or diamond earrings or something nice like that instead.
Why not try it? A beginner's course is very safe and the instructors are professionals with years of experience. Don't knock it till you try it.

I would never buy a vacation property unless it was within, at most, an hour travel of my regular residence. I'm talking about a cabin or a lake house that is just for my own personal use. I can see the point of buying an oceanfront condo as an investment and then renting it out for most of the year, and only using it occasionally for myself. But for a property I plan to use, it has to be convenient or else it will never be used enough to be worth having.

Dunno if it has been said, but if it doesn't hurt the family finances then do what you want (within reason).

If the no is rooted in worry for safety, just don't be retarded with the bike and you should be fine.

You pretend to be a moral being but support the diamond industry, are you aware of blood diamonds?

You've never owned a motorcycle or ridden one, so how would you know all of those things? And of course you don't understand because of the later. Instead you want to buy a chanel purse, is that supposed to make her happy?

As I stated prior, go take a beginner's course. Doesn't hurt to try and it'll at least be something new you've don.

Your ex husband sounds like he was a terrible rider. But you're obviously the scared type, probably can't ride big rollercoasters either, so I can't convince you and that's fine.

It's funny, because there's more and more women starting to ride motorcycles now.

If it's a totally new thing for you, then it kind of sounds like a midlife crisis purchase, tbh.
Why is it a midlife crisis and not just something she enjoys? What if she always wanted to ride but never got the chance or had the funds?

I guess I should have never shown her my spirited driving on the highway.. anything above 120mph and she tells me to stop even when there’s no traffic.

I think it would depend primarily on what they're saying "no" about.

Is it something that impactsbothof you, or something that only impacts you? I tend to measure out the benefits and the negatives of the situation.

But if it's a "no" merely because "you're worried for my safety", I'm going to do it anyway.

Rule of thumb is

UK = Bicycle
USA = Motorcycle


Get a bicycle like you're supposed to. LOL @ riding a motorcycle around a country the size of peanut. Recipe for disaster of piss.

I'm still curious about what kind of riding Rabbit likes. Day trips, maybe? I had no feeling as to the size of the UK, but from a quick search it looks like you could drive across the country in a long day. While I was a grad student one of the research professors would rent a Harley every year. He and his wife would go with another couple and they would have a week long ride to one of the national parks in the US. I remember them going to Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, etc. They were into it quite a bit, to the point where the bought riding leathers, just for the annual vacation. He never bought a motorcycle so far as I know, but I haven't been in touch for 10+ years.

This is more my style (not my picture):
