There Are Certain Things Regarding buying Used Motorcycles That You Need To Learn Before Making A Deal

There have been three times in life when individuals have told me that I am extremely controlling. This isn’t something that is nice to hear. Each time I have heard this I have become very defensive and angry, but upon personal reflection I really realize that the observations were correct. This isn’t the greatest feeling, yet I was happy that I have folks that care enough about me to point out my very own mistakes to me. The only way we are 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 looking for motorcycles for sale. I wanted him to have a look at used cars, but no. He is not into used cars, because motorcycles are much more attractive compared with used cars. He had been saving his money from a part time job for 2 years. He had talked about proudly owning a motorcycle since he was ten years old. I have always been concerned about this since I know that there are lots of folks that get severely hurt and killed in accidents every year.

Just a few weeks prior to his birthday he was looking at newspaper advertisements for motorcycles for sale. I went into my full litany about why this actually was not a great idea. We ended up having a disagreement and both of us mentioned things that we regretted. I advised him that he would not own a motorbike while still living at home so he threatened to move out and things simply escalated. I was feeling terrible and was losing sleep. I did not want to back down from my very own decision.

One of my co-workers who is also an excellent buddy advised me that I was trying to protect and control my very own son and in the process was losing him. She pointed out that he was really very responsible. He had held the exact same job for 2 years and maintained good grades in school. He was responsible in driving the household car and he was not really 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 hard 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 motorcycles on the market our son was interested in. I recommended we help him get it as a gesture that I would support his choice to have a motorbike and trusted that he will be safe with it. We told our son that night that we’d help him purchase the bike as his birthday gift. I apologized to him. This is one thing that I have discovered has helped in my relationship with our kids, the ability to admit being wrong and apologizing when I am.
