    My dad was never very vocally strict or scaremongering with me as a kid, but the two things he made absolutely clear weren’t acceptable for me at any age were:

    1. Playing with fireworks
    2. Owning a motorcycle

    He very clearly described how he had friends that either died or were disabled by both. To his credit, neither have an appeal to me to this day, and he fostered my love of trains.

      Same.

      When he was a teen my dad stole and crashed his dad's motorcycle. He then proceeded to hide a pretty serious wound for weeks so he wouldn't get caught. Needless to say, he's always been very vocal against motorcycles.

      Although, the real reason I'm against them is my own experiences driving. People are fucking lunatics and will not keep you safe on the road. I don't truly feel safe in a car, why would I expose myself on a fucking bike?
