Thanks guys. I thought about it again today and I may have just over reacted when I didn't get the response I thought I would. I seriously doubt be wants me to fail, he is a very good friend. I think I just let all the little comments from people add up, sometimes it does seem like everyone thinks it's funny that I'm trying this. Anyway what should I care what other people think about it, I'm not doing it for them. This is for me and my son, so I can play with him without having to take a break, and maybe live a little longer to watch him grow up.

Slowride, man I am so sorry to hear about your marriage issues, sure puts things in perspective for me. I can relate I was married to a "fault finder" for 7 years before I just couldn't take any more. Unfortunately some people are just like that, once that get unhappy about something all they can do is find the bad in everything around them. I hope that is not the case here and she just feels insecure about the new you, or jealous of the time and commitment you have to riding and feels you care more about it than you do her. If there is a fix for it I hope you can find it. Good luck to you man, and try to stay positive, I know how draining it can be.
