im trying to convince my grandparrents that im mature enough to get a bike. in my family, pretty much what the deal is, is my grandmother is the "main bitch". if something dosent fly with her, it isnt going to happen. i have always liked riding, never ridden any sort of bike, but dont get me wrong, as far at ATVs i have had my fair share. i have built probably 10 atvs in the past 2 years, worked on hundreds, not counting lawn mowers, or dirt bikes, im only 17 but i am very skilled at small engine repair, on small engine machines. her arguement is that bikes are too unsafe. i agree that they are unsafe to a point, but how unsafe depends on the rider, you know? hell she wont even let me buy a moped, and here i am whipping around courses on race built atvs, and i cant even get a moped for fuck sake.
what is a great counter arguement that i have? i want to start riding so baddddd but at this rate, i never will be, and i want to be riding by the time i turn 18, which is in late august, any help here guys!?
attached are some first bikes that i am interested in.
kawasaki ninja 250
honda nighthawk 250
CBR 125
