Preggers and riding... - Page 2

Ed brings up a valid point - in a professional situation, I wouldn't allow someone to ride a trackday or even private instruction if ANY medical condition would challenge my liability. I have it in my rules of operation that ANY medical condition be disclosed - and I know I wouldn't allow someone pregnant to come out and participate.

That isn't a personal or moral decision - it's all business and wrapped in liability. If something happens, it isn't about whether I trust YOU - it's do I trust your family should you die.

Truth. From that standpoint that's a completely reasonable basis for denying someone to come out.

i wasn;t so much worried about the liability standpoint. esp. since the state had pretty much said it was ok, it was more on my $.02. and how i felt about the condition and the activity.

OK, then that makes you an arrogant prick. Would almost make me want to take your class looking like I'm pregnant just so I could sue you for discrimination.

Not smart Ed. You don't own the business, it's not your decision to make.

RACER X · 04-16-2009, 09:42 AM

well duh! kinda takes one to know one, right?

it was my decision to teach or not.

I am laughing because I said, 'that's just prick-tastic' out loud when I read his post.

I'd do what I felt was best for me. Not being in that sitch, or thinking about it currently, I cant say 100%, but I would most likely ride until I couldnt anymore.

I wouldnt put myself at unnecessary risk, like at a track day however.

I have to agree. My first thought upon readn your first post was, "who are you to tell me what to do?". If there isnt something stating that it is not allowed, than it is allowed. Refusing someone based on your personal beliefs is discrimination. You dont have the right to make someone elses decision like that. Just saying.

Women shouldnt be allowed near motorized vehicles, ever. So Ed was right.

CrazyKell · 04-16-2009, 09:52 AM

Wow...for maybe the first time in history I'm not seeing the prickiness of Ed's post.

I understand what he's saying from a personal standpoint. The bike will always be there.

Although it's not his perogative to discriminate, it is his perogative to say whether he'd teach or not (isn't it?

).

you probably bring home more infectious strains in a day than I pick up in the subway in a year.

Put the motorcycle in storage for now. Drain the fuel, yank the battery....do all the stuff your supposed to do when putting it in long term storage.

Already in the works. Like I said, I've driven neither. Haven't even registered the bikes. I kept the insurance on the scooter b/c it leaves my claim open and I can add the bike back on in within 2 ears and wont have my insurance go up.

I personally wouldn't ride b/c there's a totally differen't risk of trauma if I were to fall, get hit on a bike verses in a car. I just see too much at work, and I don't want to take any chances in putting my baby in harms way.

Plus, if I were to get into an accident, a pregnant ER nurse on a motorcycle, it would be in the front page for weeks.

Oh, and I don't bring home infectious strains like you'd think

I have a pretty strong immunity. Rarely sick
