I have an anxiety problem as it is, but I am passing out scared of riding motorcycles! My hubby, a biker through and through, loves them and with the rising cost of gas, and his need to drive 45 miles each way to a job 3 days a week and us trying to cut back, we decided it was a good time for him to fulfill his dream, so he bought a beautiful motorcycle that any biker would be proud to own, problem is, he really wants me to hop on the back and join him for a cruise on the open road. I have tried to "make" myself get on and succeeded once. He is very loving and lets me be :in charge". If I say stop, he stops, if I say slow down he does, mind you we have only putted around town at 25 mph tops and I almost passed out. He has suggested me getting a scooter for myself to putt around town in for my errands to save gas and to help me get comfortable with a motorized two wheeled vehicle, I think a peddle bike would suit me fine and I wouldn't have to worry about my flaming bloody death looming from an accident on a motorcycle.
Any help to get rid of thhis fear and face it once and for all would be helped, if you have had a fear and have managed to deal with it please tell me how you did it.
Also, I grew up on the back of a motorcycle, stepdad was in a biker gang and I rode as a kid everywhere, no bad experiences there. I also had 3 high school friends, one whom I loved dearly, all die riding carelessly on their motorcycles, but I knew it was from their relunctance to obey the standards of riding.
