I,25m, have a wife 27f. We currently live with her family. My MIL needs to go to a family gathering 2 days before the rest of the household goes. So my SILs and wife want my BIL to bring her there. I acquired a new motorcycle (Aerox SP) 3 days ago. I haven’t even driven the motorcycle for a single drive over 50 kilometers. They want to use my motorcycle to bring her to the family gathering about 80 kilometers one way and have the motorcycle back after a few hours. Since motorcycle is new, I wanted to test the motorcycle’s capabilities by bringing my MIL to the gathering. The road to the gathering is going up a mountain, meaning you have ups and downs on the road. Their reason was because my BIL has a bit more experience getting there and I am a heavier driver than my BIL. I have had the same experience getting to the same place before on a different motorcycle. My wife says, it might be better for my BIL to drive it that far since the motorcycle is heavier than my first one. To me, that doesn’t really matter. What’s important to me is the sentiment of having the first long ride of the motorcycle to driven by me, the owner, and not anybody else. AITA?
Is there no other mode of transportation than your motorcycle? Is there some reason why MIL would not want to ride with you? Is there a reason why everyone feels entitlement to the use of your motorcycle?
Hell No. First test drive on anything should belong to the owner. You only get 1 first test drive. No one should take that experience away. Few yeqrs ago my wife got pissed at me cause she gave me pokemon sword for my birthday. At the time our 9 year old godson was with us and i wanted to be the first to crack open that bad boy. She got pissed at mw when i didnt let him start it up for the first time. I was forced to watch the game for rhe first rime on mt switch in someone else’s hands. Maybe im an asshole but godam it i wanted that first run
Yta for having all that post history in gonewild subreddits while being married
