NN definitely do the course -- you are your own person. Also, if you still want to keep cost in it, factor in how little gas a 125cc or 250cc bike burns. I know I put a little over 5,000km on my 250 last year and it cost me around the $200 mark in fuel (and I wasn't riding conservatively to say the least).
Also as others have said, I'd definitely contend as well that motorcycling (or riding a scooter) is safer than riding a bicycle in the city, especially if you wear proper gear, as a lot of cyclists downtown don't even wear helmets.

Cycling is definitely NOT safer than riding on a motorcycle, only slower (and maybe healthier)
Over 30 or 40 does not make it harder to learn, assuming you already know how to ride a bike and has been driving, you combine the experience of those two and gain from that. I've just started this year, not saying I"m good but definitely better than if I was to start when I was 16~18.
Tell him you'll wait for him at the destination

You ever read a thread that you know is based on real life people and it just made your mouth drop? Just happened to me. A couple of points:
1. kick his *** to the curb. Welcome to 2013, you're free to do as you choose.
2. Since when is everyone on a motorcycle a sudden expert on the sport of cycling?
3. Why don't married people or people in a long term relationship realize that you need to do your own thing at times? The whole spending every minute together that you're not at work and having the same interests was old by the end of high school.

I got my first bike 6 years ago. Wifey encouraged it.
Tried to get her to go for her licence with no suceess
Everytime I bring up the idea that my bike is not big enough for 2 up , the response always is the same - buy a bigger bike!
Started on a 500 and am now on a 1300....working my way to the Roadking !
Never too late to start riding and separate hobbies are a great thing
Whole new world out hte to discover

well im 38 and I got my bike in march (1st street bike) i didnt ask my wife i told her im buying a bike and she could care less. I bought it to spend time AWAY from her althrough i did tell her if she wants to try it ill pay for the course. many of the riders im met this spring are female most early 20's some my age
ive been with her 15 years or so and i had hobbies before her and she asked what id choose her or my hobbies........ i said my hobbies shes know all along that ill do what i want within reason.
Just do it you dont need his permission (unless its a money thing that involves both of you)

OP. He is insecure.. and a bit of a wimp
But you already know that, you already know the reasons why he is crying about it, you know you are getting tired of it and you know that you are probably in the wrong relationship but things are comfortable and it will be a big pain in the *** to leave him.
We all know these things if we really stop bullshiting ourselves
You also know that in any relationship where the man is confident and secure about himself, he will be happy that you found a new hobby.
and no I am not a psychologist but i did stay at a holiday inn express last night

Lots of good advice in this thread, just tel him hes not getting laid for a couple weeks
Sounds like he is close to his 50s. Males that do a lot of cycling are at a higher risk of Erectile dysfunction. Combine middle age and the higher chance due to his hobby of choice, chances are he can't get it up anyways... Plus he sounds feminine enough to begin with.

^ THAT :lmao:
That can be easily remedied! The next time you're over we take you to get inked, right? Sweet!
OP; the decision to start riding should ultimately be yours and yours alone. Most people here can tell you riding is in our blood. It's like tattoos; you either 'get it' or you don't and there's no good way to explain it to the people that don't 'get it'. He's pushed you to try what he enjoys and you gave it a chance and it's not your thing. For him to complain that you're not doing things together when he's pushing you to do what only he wants is an invalid argument. He needs to get over it and help find something else to do that you BOTH truly enjoy - and then you can ride your motorbike the rest of the time

So you dont recommend a mature rider and learner ?
Who do you recommend ? A 20 year old who thinks he is untouchable to learn in the same streets you find too dangerous for a 40 year old
Not trying to be sarcastic or funny i just dont get it
When I decided to start riding my gf gave me full support. I asked her if she wanted to get her license and she showed no interest. But she's always looking forward to ride 2up.
To tell you the truth I'm happy that she doesn't want to ride herself... I'd be really worried. But in our case it works out.
Get your license and if he doesn't want to get his... Well, he can ride 2up!

Tellin' it like it is.
OP, there is some good advice in this thread, and the usual idiotic advice.
Pick your fights, and be sure of what you'd like to do. Scooters/motorcycles are not cheap transport, that is not a good arguement. Add ALL costs up and you'll find the bus is cheap transport.
Road cyclists are a funny bunch, I'm one but less involved now than I was once. I like my motorcycles better now, but that's how life works.
Its funny what turns the boat over in a relationship and makes it hard. There may be more going on in his head than it appears, or less but thats for you to figure out.
I've been married a very long time, staying married I think. It hasn't been easy

Bottom line..........
If you like being married to this guy don't ride motorcycles.
If you think things will get better once you're on a bike, you're wrong. You're first drop/crash, close call(s), break down, group ride with hot sexy riders will only compound your partners feelings further.
