soarkrebel , i agree with you 100% i had the same problem with the family i maried into. someone in the family died on his harley because some drunk ass ran him over in a pickup. so the hole family blamed the motorcycle for his death. well you can see the problem when they all think motorcycles are evil and here i come with street bikes, dirt bikes, and so on. it took me 2years too talk my wife into letting me get my 9yr old son a dirt bike so we could ride together. then i got my wife to try it. she loves it more than i do now. and we all have are own dirt bikes and ride as a family almost every weekend now. my wife will also go riding with me on a street bike now and she loves it.
so dont trough blame around the room when a acident hapends.
if you want to live safe with no injoyment fine but dont keep anyone else from injoying life.
