I´ve been riding every year of my life since I started out on a Honda PW50 when I was 5. Now that adds up to 17 years, so I usually encounter very little resistance, mostly people just tell me to be careful... but where´s the fun in that? For this reason, I never had to worry about family (my parents were the ones who put me on a bike to begin with), friends or partners holding me back.
Sure it´s dangerous, but LIFE is dangerous. There´s the saying "better to be safe than sorry", but if I stopped riding, my sorrow would far outweigh my safety.
