Apoc Wrote:I'll go back to what I said in Mike's thread... if you haven't had this discussion with the people the would end up caring for you then you don't belong on a bike. If they're not okay with bearing the burden then tell them, before you get hurt, that you don't expect them to.
I didn't quote the whole passage, but I don't think it's fair to accuse me of being a flighty-idiot who just hopped on a bike without thinking about the ramifications. Just over a month ago the person who would have taken care of me if I were hurt, and was relatively accepting of that fact, moved out of state. That made the circumstances of my riding change - leaving only my mother to take care of me if I were hurt.
Saying "I don't expect you to take care of me" doesn't relieve anybody of anything, though. As RJ pointed out, family is family and they will take care of you. If not my mom, then who?
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.
