i'm getting a 250!,

well i plan to, hard to find a decently priced one.

I WANT a bike too... but i am too scare to take the writen test... and my friend said girls shouldnt ride because we would be kicking guys a$$ on the street... ^o^ sorry its off topic....

but i think once you turn 19 your parents shouldnt chain you to their ways of thinking... i mean have you ever been doing reckless driving or have the needs to speed?? if you do then i advice you not to get it yet cause it might put you in harms way or put others in harms way...

My mom said.. "when can she take it for a spin.. "

i just got a '98 ninja 250 with 7500km for 1500 :p now to get the rest of the gear and a liscence

agh damn you

sell it to me lol.

Just bought a 2005 gsxr 750!
My dad took it pretty well surprisingly...but my mom on the other hand...
That will have to wait till she gets back from Toronto haha.

my mom took it suprisingly well, asked me to try not to crash and die
took it for a burn today, deffinately enjoying it!

if you have to worry about what mommy would say if she found out her wittwe boy bought himself a big bicycle I don't think you're ready to own a crotch rocket just yet lol

I had a bat cave.

My older brother got a bike before i did but never told parents till recently. (had it parked at cousins garage with his bike)
I got my bike and told my parents it was my friends.(parked it in the garage)

Parents didn't like the idea and still don't like it, but they can't do anything about it. What i regret most of all is the lie about it being my friends bike.

Parents just want you to be safe, they'll yell and freak, but they won't kick you out of the house or disown you. lol

1. Go to riding school
2. Drive a car before a bike with several years experience bellow your belt
3. Don't cheap out on gear

i dont have a bike yet...
i mentioned it to my dad a year ago.
hes totally cool with it. he used to ride a bike.
gave me heads up on the importance of safety..then went on about how much cheaper they are on gas opposed to cars, the thrill, and cheaper insurance.

lol.

hoep to get one in 2009.

i don't think that driving experience has THAT much to do with riding a motorcycle. it does and it doesn't. i got my bike last year when i was 16. 600cc, and sprocketed. i think its more about the person who rides the bike, sure it helps to have seen many different situations for driving, but i find that you are much much more aware of your surroundings on a bike, simply because you're just out there on your own, not in a cage. take the course, you can pretty much tell which people are not meant to be riding motorcycles from that. theres always the people who stand out from the class who just get things easier and are more fluent than the rest.

anyways, my dad was ok with it, my mom wasn't too stoked. now a season of riding later, zero drops or accidents, and no close calls (knock on wood), i love riding and i won't give it up.

i didnt have to tell my mom anything ,lol she taught me how to ride and helped me get my 1st bike.my moms a cool lady ,how many guys can say theyr mom built 3 harleys from frames up....

I didn't, I stored it at my friends apartment and got it whenever I went for a ride

damn we need the
"wanna be gangster but my mom doesnt let me picture here"
i cant go to the NWS thread someone make it happen

just brought it home

I am just going to secretly take the bike license, go through PRS then just come home with a bike and deal with it after. Since i'll be purchasing it with my money they can't do shit to it and forbid me from riding it.

^Sounds like you are living at home so they have every right to deny you. Break it in, baby steps, they'll keep saying 'no' but at least you are keeping them up to date. You don't want to ride feeling guilty do you? That's going to get you hurt (knock on wood). Try riding with emotions, it's not easy, you get sloppy...

Why don't u try breaking it down to them in baby steps. Let them know you are getting your license, going to a proper school, wearing the right gear and after all that is done you'll base your decision if bike is for you (even though you know u are 100% getting one).

In the end it's still your money so just my $0.02 and welcome future rider.

Well as of I have yet to take my license so I still have ways to go, thanks for your advice!


PS. Asian parents are hard to convince.

me: "uhh can i store my friends bike in the garage cuz its getting kicked out of his underground"
mom: "i know its ur bike"
me: "oh, tell dad then..."

lol since when was getting a bike gangster?

if i wanted to be a wannabe gangster i'd buy the damn bike and tell my parents to fuck off, but unfortunately i still respect my parents opinions and don't piss them right off.

that's a pretty cool dad/ idea.

wow, bikes, um yeah... ive wanted a bike ever since i saw trinity in the matrix reloaded when she worked that security gaurd station thing haha.
now that im 17 gonna get my bike liscense on the same day as i get my N. parent obviously dont know about it :D

i don't think you can get it if you're under 19 and your parents don't know.

My PRS course starts on April 27th.
