BanginOnABudget Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) 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 Edited May 31, 2010 by BanginOnABudget Quote im taking out my passenger seat, battery is disconnected, going to unwire and take out the three amps, take out the 70+ lb box, then the platform so i can crimp 1 wire.

Beanz Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Man id wait till your 18 that way you can be like FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU and get that bike no matter waht they say..your best chance would be that you take some kind of motorcycle course and show them that you know the safety on using a bike Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

tejcurrent Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) I had an 11 year old cousin die on a 4-wheeler a few years ago. Really sad, really graphic, and not the only bad experience I know of personally with 4 wheelers. I've known far more people in motorcycle accidents too, regardless of whether they were just slightly injured, permanently handicapped, or killed. Having said that I drive both. I bought a bike, had it a year, then sold it with no regrets. Best defense for me was cost of ownership, and gas savings since 50mpg > 15mpg driving 50 miles a day or more. Personally I think if you ride without safety gear you're stupid, and if you wear the leather and stuff you look like a fag and sweat your balls off in the summer. So when riding a bike you have to ask, "Do I want to get f*cked up in a crash, or look like a pillow-biter in traffic?" Good luck.

superdave07 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I ride. Have owned a few sport bikes. To be honest, i would wait a couple years, unless you are rolling in money. Insurance is very high when you are that age. I would start riding on two wheels more thou, maybe get a dirt bike or something and keep riding. If you can afford the insurance and bike payments then go for it. You got to respect family, but when you turn 18, you make your own choices. Where i live its scary to ride because the drivers around here are so dangerous. But, there is a very large 2 wheel scene. just my input. Can i ask why you want a 250?
