Would you allow your Chld to have a Motorcycle

You did not say the age of your sons but I am assuming they are old enough to get a license. I am almost 40 yrs old and a woman and I have a motorcycle. I had wanted one since I was about 4 yrs old and it took me until I was 22 to get one..my hubby bought it for me and he doesn't ride. It took some convincing on my part because he felt like you do and so does half of my family. I enjoy riding because I find peace of mind, no radio, phone,etc. They are dangerous, just as anything with a motor. I would suggest putting them in a motorcycle safety class b/c they teach you things you really would not think about. Instead of reacting when a dog runs out in front of you, they teach you how to handle the surprises. There is a saying that there are two kinds of riders..those who have been down and those who are going down. I have had a wreck and thankfully it was not serious. Just make sure that they are well prepared. You have to respect the bike and most of all watch out for all the people driving cars...they're the most dangerous! Good luck!

My husband is a huge motorcycle lover and he has been ever since I first met him over 20 years ago. When we found out I was pregnant he immediately said that his child would be a motorcycle rider also and he couldn't wait to teach the child. I told him he had to wait until our child was at least 5 years old before trying to put her on a motocycle. That was my compromise. I knew he was into motorcycles when I met him and decided to be with him and the way I look at it, if my child is going to be into motorcycles then I want her to learn when she is younger so she has more experience before she gets older and crazier. Lucky for me she didn't like it and after my husband tried for a while she told him that she didn't want to ride anymore. I guess it really depends on your own situation but my fear by saying no would be that once they are old adults and no longer have to listen their parents they would go get a motorcycle anyways and then try to ride it without haveing the skills or knowledge to do so. You were just looking out for your children and that is what a mom is supposed to do.

No, I don't think you are unreasonable. Statistics prove how dangerous they really are. I don't have to worry about that right as my son is only 7. But I have known 2 people that have been in really bad bike accidents and it doesn't turn me on too much to want my son to be on one.

What your children do when they leave the nest is up to them. While they are your responsibility you have every right to deny them what could be potentially harmful to them. Motorcycles are dangerous. Those who ride often tell me of the dangers of riding. Even veteran riders face potential dangers.

yes, u were reasonable it causes lot of problem to the people who will be in house they always get tension till the person reaches home why this tension shold be? its better not giving motor cycle

Not only would I not want my kids having one, I don't even want them on one. Especially because nowadays, motorcycle culture amongst youth is all about going ridiculously fast (double the speed limit is like normal). Having your body scraped against the road at 200 km/h is not fun, and it's certainly not worth being able to get from Toronto to Detroit in 2 1/2 hours.

I don't think you are being unreasonable..... you are scared of bikes and you have it on your mind that it's not safe to drive it. So you are just being protective towards your kids n there is no harm in doin that coz all the mother's are protective towards their children

I ride a bike & my kids son 17 & daughter 14 have both said they want to ride. My focus is on them learning to do it safely. My son rides bulls in rodeo's that scares me more!
