[QUOTE="rbentnail, post: 1401560, member: 13598"] The health thing is a lot like the vehicle insurance thing I encountered when my FJR was new. Some companies deemed it a pure super sport bike and wanted to charge accordingly. Nope. I quit long ago trying to convince anyone that riding is or isn't [fill in the blank]. Mostly I just shrug and say something like," well, it ain't for everyone. So what do you do for relaxation/travel/fun?" And then try to relate my experiences (if there are any) and have a civil conversation about that however disinterested I am. I know of no one who doesn't like to talk about him/her/it self. I even told one lady that quilting, OMFG, what with all those dirty needles floating around, is certainly right up there with heroine in terms of safety. It all depends on your perspective I guess. She didn't get the sarcasm, but she did go away. My wife hates bikes. She hates me having and riding one, but she knew I do very early in our relationship. She hasn't tried to convince me to do otherwise though sometimes it seems like she's trying to "steer" me into other activities I like. I resist but sometimes she has a good idea. [/QUOTE]
