Ok, now.....how do you say no to your mom??? My mom took the MSF course several months ago (maybe even longer?? hmmmm) but never went out and got a bike. But she is coming up to visit for a few months in August and is bring her gear cuz she intends to ride my new baby

I haven't got it in me to tell her "not a chance". Guess this is what it feels like when parents let their 16 yr old children out in thier car alone for the first time.......nerve racking.

I'm afraid whatever you say will be topped by "I brought you into this world..."

Good luck...

Get one of your friends to "steal" your bike a day or two before she gets into town. Then after she leaves you can "find" it again.....

Heh, I'm glad you enjoy my sense of humor. Always tryin to make people smile is a great way to go. I appreciate the response.

No.

Its quite simple. You do not owe any appoligies or excuses or rationalizations. Its yours you don't want them on it.

I refuse to ride anyone else's bike as well.
