Thank God I'm alive!
What I am talking about is not just about pleasure of an inanimate object. Rather about who I am or who You are. About what gives me joy. I ride and have since 1973. It is a deeply ingrained part of who I am, I have carried for nearly as long. Every year I take at least one road trip for a couple of weeks or month. To see those great nation of ours. I camp and ride free. To take those "things" away from me or ask that I give them up is to ask that I forfeit who I am. Obviously anyone who would ask that of me does not like me. So this is the point. Why be with anyone who does not like me? Why would you want to be with anyone who does like you, for you as you are?
Thank goodness I am not looking. I do not have a woman who puts up with what I like. She loves me because of who I am. Just as she is my star exactly the way she is. We are partners in every sense of the word. Not only would she never ask me to give up my bike she bought me one for fathers day a few years back.
I would rather be alone than to try to be someone I am not and live a lie
Do you wear a helmet when you ride, or does your state require it? My guess is that if your state recognizes RKBA, then it probably also recognizes your freedom to ride helmetless if you choose (the lone exception is Illinois, where there is no RKBA, but also no helmet law; go figure).
As for love of an inanimate object, I thought that was a given in my last post. Yes, I wholeheartedly believe that your woman should love you for you and we should love our women for who they are. If after a long period of time she decides she doesn't approve of what you like or do, she probably never loved you to begin with.
