LOL... that's quite a stretch.

 

There are things you can do to lessen the risks. First, take an experienced riders course if you haven't already. Second, always wear helmet and protective gear. Lastly, make sure you have enough insurance to take care of your family in case something happens to you. Like others have said, life is full of risks. But there are steps you can take to lessen the risks and give you piece of mind.

 

Jeez man grow a pair. I find it kind of hard to beleive you would post something like that. Some things you keep to yourself. Just saying, not a very manly conversation. Z

 

Kids need their moms a lot, they need you more than likely to pay the bills, take out a 500 K or a million dollar life insurance policy, if you're a non-smoker and healthy it won't cost that much. This way if you get clipped, the house, college etc... are taken care of. Your wife can get a new young boyfriend and she won't miss you one bit.

Peace of mind comes with a monthly payment for life insurance, now that I have that I ride guilt free.

 

Life insurance. Before I started I made sure I had enough for my kids. All kids are out of college except one who is a senior and he just decided he is going in pre-med to be a surgeon. Proud dad here and if I get clipped tomorrow I know he will be taken care of. That is all you can hope for as a parent.

 

I know a guy who loves HD and riding, but when he had a baby his wife talked him into selling it and giving up riding for about 18 years. Now he has a bike again and doesn't seem to regret the time-off of riding. If I had a baby on the way, I wouldn't sell my bike but I would ride less, and when I did ride I would be extra careful Life insurance is a must for a responsible father IMO.

 

Probably not the right thing but i always make sure i have enough life insurance to make life easier for them if i am not around atleast they know dad cared enough to think ahead. probably dont make it any easier but food for thought i know with my kids a new car and there like dad who....lol

 

Nice addition to the topic guy. Well thought out and beneficial to the conversation... "grow a pair"... just get on the bike an don't worry about your kids, right... leave em a little bit of $ and they'll forget about it right?

My first is not a mamas boy. At least right now, at this moment, if he lost me, he'd be crushed. He is CONSTANTLY walking in my footsteps and waiting for some attention from me.

Takes a bigger pair to consider others before himself... Grow a heart

 

Honestly what exactly are you looking for? If you're scared to ride then hang it up. I said get a lot of life insurance because it should help with the guilt, if it doesn't for you then stop riding. Either way there's nothing anyone is going to say on a message board that is going to give you a warm and fuzzy.

 

Those "voices" are there for a reason...don't discount them...
