My brother wants to get a motorcycle. He has one but doesn't ride it long distances but now he wants a Harley to go on trips. I'm seriously worried he's going to die. Please I don't want any statistics you guys, I know motorcycles aren't safe, that's why I'm worried. And of course I've told him how I feel but he says I worry too much. He's always been into extreme sports and all that stuff. So how do I stop worrying about things that I can't do anything about? It's driving me crazy.

ok lets be realistic here... you want us to teach you how to stop worrying... this is an anxiety board everyone in here obsesses and worries and ur not gonna get good advice. Its like asking a retard how to get smart

My advice to you is to give him your blessing whether literally or emotionally in your heart. He's living his life and he's happy with what he's doing. Worrying about him is not going to help you...being happy for him that he's happy will.

i agree with this totally.......you might worry but its his life......i went through a stage of panicing at anyone going in a car...they are irrational fears.....if your brother has a good head on his shoulders and follows the rules of the road he should be safe......

just think of it another way and no i am not trying to sound bad but crossing a road is a risk....leaving the house is a risk...we all have to take risks or what is the point in having a life

Thanks you guys. You have no idea how much better you've made me feel. My brother does have a good head on his shoulders. He's just always been into this stuff. Anything with adventure. And that's one of the things that I love about him. His love of life. But sometimes he drives me crazy. But I guess what he does makes him him. We can't both be the neurotic sibling scared of our own shadow. :wink:
