Years ago, when I first started riding, my wife accused me of loving my bike more than I loved her. She said I had a choice. I told her to please not ask me to make that choice, as she might not like the answer. I then proceeded to explain to her that if I was to give up something I dearly loved for her benefit, I would be miserable, and that would in turn affect my attitude towards her.
I assured her I would try to be more sensitive to her needs also in the future, and the bike stayed.
I think these two said it perfectly, and this mirrors my experience after I got married. My wife knew that I loved to ride my bike before we even got serious, and, after several years of marriage, when she confronted me with the "ultimatum", I told her how unfair it was to force me to give up something that she had accepted during our entire relationship until now. So we reached a compromise. No more racing, and she knows me well enough to know that I use my head when riding, and she trusts me enough to know that I do not ride over my head. Now my two sons are old enough to get started in the sport, and she is willing and accepting, understanding that I will teach them both to be sensible and safe, and she is very supportive of this valuable father-and-son time that this will give us.Originally posted by HiG4s
The whole thing is called a relationship and I question just how good a relationship it can be if ultimatums have been levied.
God, job, family, dirt bikes...in that order.

If your family is the most important thing to you, then you have to consider your job tops...Like I said, no job, no groceries ....it's easy. Making your job top priority makes for a happy family. Screw around and not work, and your family will go down the tubes fast. Think about it.
