There Are Specific Things Regarding investing In Used Motorcycles That You Should Learn Before Making A Deal

There have been thrice in life when individuals have told me that I am extremely controlling. This isn’t something that is pleasant to hear. Every time I have heard this I have become very defensive and angry, but upon personal reflection I realize that the observations were correct. This isn’t the best feeling, yet I was pleased that I have people that care enough about me to point out my own mistakes to me. The only way we are really able to grow and change is if we realize what we’re doing wrong.

My latest episode of being extremely controlling involved my eighteen year old kid. He was searching for motorcycles for sale. I wanted him to look at used cars, but no. He is not into used cars, because bikes are a lot more attractive compared with used cars. He had been saving his money from a part time job for 2 years. He had talked about owning a bike since he was ten years old. I have always been concerned about this since I do know that there are a lot of people that get critically hurt and killed in accidents every year.

A couple of weeks prior to his birthday he was taking a look at newspaper advertisements for motorbikes for sale. I went into my full litany about why this actually was not a very good idea. We ended up having an argument and both of us said things that we regretted. I advised him that he won’t own a motorbike while still living at home so he actually threatened to move out and things just escalated. I was feeling terrible and was losing sleep. I didn’t want to back down from my own decision.

One of my co-workers who is also a very good buddy advised me that I was trying to protect and control my own son and in the process was losing him. She pointed out that he was really very responsible. He had held exactly the same job for 2 years and maintained excellent grades in school. He was responsible in driving the household car and he was not a risk taker. She pointed out that when he was 18 he would be an adult and I had to give up attempting to control his life.

She was right. It was really difficult to hear and admit, but what she was saying was totally true. I called my husband and asked him if he knew which of the motorbikes for sale our son was interested in. I recommended we help him purchase it as a gesture that I’d support his decision to have a bike and trusted that he will be safe with it. We informed our son that evening that we’d help him purchase the bike as his birthday gift. I apologized to him. This is one thing that I have found has helped in my relationship with our children, the ability to admit being mistaken and apologizing when I am.
