At the risk of wrath here and with the caveat that I don't normally take the MIL's side, BUT - you sound pretty cool. The whole motorcycle thing scares the crap out of me. And I'm going to assume that you posted this as you were saying "the quiet parts out loud". Don't badmouth DIL or you will lose access to GS.
But I'm with you on this one! I would love to have a MIL that said what she meant AND actually speaks with some wisdom and experience. (My ex's mother is like that - it was brutal occasionally but much better than the alternative.)
