Oh, the number 4 reason, sounds like some people in my family that say that exact same thing along with the number 1 reason, along with, "I could never ride those things, they are so unsafe. Be Careful." Here is another one "I just do not have the time to devote to riding anymore. I have kids and other activities that keep me busy. " LOL (Believe it or not, the last saying is what someone in my family told me), and yet both of his sons go to college, are away from home, and he still gives me the same excuse each time, and he used to ride dirt bikes. The other ones think that riding a street bike seems to be more dangerous than riding dirt bikes? LOL
... free time gets cut into a fraction of what it used to be BW and BC 
(before wife and before children 
)~.....
That is true. However, there is no more kids, since they are off to college, yet, I think some are "helicopter parents". LOL.A wife and kids certainly do change a person's life, renegade
"I don't mind you riding a motorcycle but I sure do wish you would be riding a different one... that one is the most dangerous one out there to ride. I sure wish you would sell the thing already..."
...so says my mother and to a degree my father ~_~ .....
Take for instance, my oldest brother, he has to be at every game that my nephew plays. So he really puts on the miles going back and forth to either home games in Ottawa, Kansas, or all throughout the state of kansas, in each school that Ottawa plays, and yet, he has no time to ride a motorcycle? LOL Wow, that sounds like an overprotective mother and to some extent the father, but I think the mother maybe trying to influence the father into saying that.Sounds awfully familiar to me when I first started riding by some people in my family. LOL
Most dangerous? There is always something more dangerous.
I agree. I find it funny when people say that, and yet one of the most dangerous "somethings" places to be is on a flight deck on an aircraft carrier during flight operations, and I have been there, so riding a motorcycle is by far less dangerous than that in my opinion. LOL
I'd say "Of course I will, at least I'll die doing what I like".
