I've become a reader of your super cool blog! :) I do not have good things to say about motorcycles. My cousin was in a very bad wreck about 6 months ago and is lucky to be alive. It was NOT his fault. He got hit by a pick up truck. He also wasn't wearing a helmet. So make sure FireDad at least always wears a helmet. I think that there are safety courses for motorcycle drivers too, maybe you could convince him to take one of those. I know we can't stop our loved ones from taking risks, but they can at least make it less risky right? Being a hubby and a Dad means that he has to understand it's about more than just him... it's about the whole family. :) Hi hon!

A friend of mine had one and going for a ride with him was just so fun!! I loved it. But now I am afraid everytime I see one. I HATE driving next to them. I am very aware of how fragile and exposed they are riding next to me. You and FireDad (and the kids) are already in my prayers but I will add safe motorcycle driving to the list. And if you can get up the courage you should go for a ride with him - there is nothing like it. :) I probably couldn't get up the courage now but really it is wonderful fun. <abbr><em>Upstatemomof3s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OurLifeUpstate/~3/zdFSN23pDbc/reflection.html" rel="nofollow">Reflection</a></abbr></em> I used to love riding on motorcycles.

The fear of other people's poor vehicular skills is what drove my fear and eventually led me to give up riding when Keri got pregnant. Wearing gear and being mentally sharp are the only two ways to mitigate risk. Unfortunately there is little you can do to combat other people's stupidity. I give you credit for letting FireDad explore this new adventure. He may come to the same realization as me or he may never encounter an issues (fingers crossed) and will enjoy a lifetime of riding - which on days like today, I still miss.
