| first time getting your bike
Quick question:
How did your parents feel when you guys were getting your very first bike? I've been trying to talk my mother into letting me buy one but she would go ape shit on me every time

If you don't have your mom's support/approval to get a bike, wait till you move out to buy one.

Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Your going to buy brand new? North shore suzuki? Your going to get super sad if your learning on it and you drop it. My first bike was a 2006 gsxr 600 in 2009. If your serious, most people take lessons to see if they even like riding. Some people end up buying all this fancy gear and a bike to find out their to scared to learn how to ride. Then end up losing a lot of money.

How old are you?
When i got the bike, i told my parents that it wasn't mine. I felt bad for lying, but in the end they will find out. What i should have done was just bought the bike and told them. Like the others said, just buy it because that is what YOU want. Your parents will eventually accept it. It also helps if you prove to them that you're a mature person taking the necessary precautions to prevent injuries (getting proper gear, schooling).
Or if they're Asian parents, say that it was too crazy of a deal to pass up. hahaha jk.
Good luck.

i bought my bike, had it in garage, told parents it belonged to my friend who needed to store it.
week later, when they saw me riding it, i said i was just fooling around.
crashed it a few months later, told parents i tripped and hurt my knee.
few months later, got a new bike, said i bought it
just ease it on to them. dont ask for permission. just do it "nike"

Told my dad I was going to take lessons and buy a bike, he was super supportive. It didn't hurt that my dad had multiple bikes had ridden since before I was born and my mom rode and has had bikes as well.

My parents know I'm responsible and never really cared I got a bike, but they link me every news story about a bike incident ever since I got my bike!

My mom didn't really approve, and my dad didn't really mind cause he used to ride (no license though). But one day I just came home with the Learners, bought a cheap beater bike and took lessons at PRS. On to my second bike now, although they do worry everytime I'm on it.

I just bought one. They got over it and eventually liked it. It didn't help that I've worked at motorcycle dealerships for the last 6 years. So they knew it was inevitable.
